Despite challenges the commercial real estate industry has faced in the last few months, Stream Realty Partners is maintaining a positive outlook on industrial fundamentals within the Houston market.
Since the start of Q4 2022, Stream completed 14 transactions of more than 48,000 square feet. The leases ranged from 48,910 square feet to 1,039,060 square feet, resulting in more than 3.6 million square feet of industrial leasing transactions in the Houston area.
“We are very encouraged by the deal velocity within our portfolio but are maintaining vigilance while guiding our trusted customers through lease transactions,” said Stream Houston Managing Director Tyler Maner. “The past nine months have been very dynamic as many macro-economic headwinds become a reality.
