Houston’s Northwest Submarket
Finding space to lease for your business can be tricky. There is a myriad of things to consider, including (but not limited to) ease of access, price point, facility expectations, potential renovations, and location. While no single submarket offers every advantage, we believe Northwest Houston comes remarkably close to providing an optimal location for a wide range of leasing needs and is not only a great place to lease today but will continue to be a great place in years to come.
Strategic Location
Houston at large is a diverse, bustling city with its own microeconomy, owed in large part to targeted developments of the outer rings and the proximity to interstate and international distribution through the port, airports, rails, and major interstate highways. Leasing too near these means of transportation can drastically increase the prices of available units and decrease diversity in both layouts and sizes of units. The solution? Lease in the “sweet spot,” close enough to distribution centers to impact business positively but not so near as to increase the financial burden on your business. Northwest Houston offers the benefit of sitting in this “sweet spot.” Leasing between Interstate 45 and Interstate 10 can give a business the ability to get goods in and out of Houston with ease and close enough proximity to George Bush Intercontinental Airport and the Houston Port to take advantage of them, but not so close as to incur additional leasing charges. Additionally, the proximity to State Highway 99 (Grand Parkway) and Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway) makes commuting anywhere in Houston from your business relatively straightforward.
Growing Economic Hub
With continued initiatives for the economic development of Houston (see https://www.houstontx.gov/ecodev/ for more), the urban sprawl is sure to continue its expansion. Coupled with near-shoring efforts in Mexico by large US corporations, Houston is positioned to continue growth as an integral city in the US’s supply chain. Additionally, the lack of zoning codes offers a diversity in industries to thrive throughout the city as opposed to being regulated to one geographical sector.
Suite Diversity
The aforementioned industry diversity can be seen in the Northwest Houston submarket through the industries that may call this area home, including energy, manufacturing, technology, and more. The lack of zoning also offers a diversity in the types of units available. At Fort alone, we offer industrial leases in Northwest Houston from as little as 1,000 square feet to as much as 20,000+ square feet (and an opportunity to lease multiple spaces) with an assortment of existing floor plans from typical warehouse spaces to mixed-use suites, reducing costs that may be associated with buildouts and renovations while also ensuring you are in a workspace you and your business can thrive in.
In Summary
Leasing space for your business is a multifaceted decision that requires consideration of several factors. When looking at Houston, we believe Northwest Houston has everything a business needs to thrive, striking the delicate balance between accessibility and affordability, being primed for continued growth with the economic development of Houston at large, and offering diversity in suite size and space for any number of industries to thrive. As Houston continues to progress, Northwest Houston assures immediate benefits and a long-term outlook of success, making it the right choice for a business to call home.
