2026 Outlook: Houston Office Market Tailwinds Favor
Well-Positioned, Amenitized Properties
Looking ahead, Hartman Properties expects 2026 to continue rewarding owners who can deliver quality space, strong management, and tenant-focused flexibility.
Houston’s office market remains highly segmented, with demand concentrating in higher-quality, well-located buildings—a trend consistently noted by major broker research, including CBRE’s characterization of Houston as a “tale of two markets,” where top-tier assets drive leasing outcomes.
At the same time, broader supply dynamics are becoming more supportive. JLL reports U.S. office development is at an all-time low, with completions projected to drop sharply into 2026—tightening the competitive set for owners who invest in performance and tenant experience.
Houston’s economic outlook also supports demand stability, with regional forecasts pointing to continued job growth in 2026—particularly led by healthcare—an important driver for Hartman’s medical-oriented strategy at assets such as 3100 Weslayan.
Colliers similarly notes improving market momentum and an overall vacancy rate improvement in 2025, reinforcing that tenants remain active and selective rather than absent—creating opportunity for portfolios that are positioned correctly.
“As the market continues to reward the best-run buildings, we believe Hartman is extremely well-positioned,” said Margaret Hartman. “Our focus in 2026 is straightforward: keep winning high-quality tenants, keep renewing great tenants, and keep investing where the demand is going—especially in Houston’s strongest business corridors.”
