Really Bad Things Effecting the Office Market
• Job Growth: A little locally but none nationally. Worse in other cities/states/countries
• Houston Recovery: Tied to the Texas recovery which is tied to the U.S. recovery which is tied to the Global economy – we seem to be getting better but the U.S. and Global economies are reportedly getting worse
• Credit Markets: Not fully recovered
• Continental Airlines Merger: Merger with United will be bad for the CBD and other submarkets

Really Bad News Effecting The Office Market
• EXXON: Consolidation and relocation will hurt the Greenspoint submarket
• NASA: Apparently no longer a friend of Washington. Crucial to the Clear Lake area and surrounding submarkets
• Oil Prices: $80 per barrel is supposed to be really good news for Houston – right? Why no need for more office space?
• BP Oil Spill: HUGE but TBD
• Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – dba: Healthcare Reform – Tax Increases?????

Houston Tenants Can Expect:
• Asking rents will hopefully bottom out late 2010 or early 2011.
• Net absorption: Remain in moderate negative territory as
businesses cut overhead and/or reduce their SF.
• Very aggressive landlords: Don’t loose a tenant and roll out the
red carpet for all good prospects.
• Sublease Options: Will continue to compete with landlords.
• Distressed Sales: Could have an impact on certain submarket
rents. Lower investment basis could allow new owners to ask for
even lower rents.
www.grubb-ellis.com
Really Good News:
• Houston: Best office market in the U.S.
• Houston: Getting very positive press nationally and internationally and attracting global investor interest.
• Energy Prices: HIGH and getting HIGHER.
• Energy Demand: Increasing. Does the U.S. have the “@?<#$*%$” to meet the demand (offshore drilling?)
• U-Haul: Houston #1 out of 50 cities for one-way destination rentals.
• Labor Availability: Houston and Texas provide strong labor pools (and labor for your pools), strong infrastructure, low costs of living and a business friendly local and state government.
