Most tenants ask "Can I sublease my space?" before they understand what their lease actually allows, or what it could cost them if things go wrong.

The answer involves more than intent. Landlord consent standards, recapture rights, profit-sharing provisions, and response deadline language all shape what is possible before a single subtenant is contacted. And once a sublease is in place, the original tenant remains fully liable if the subtenant defaults.

In our latest article, Douglas James Hale and Nathan Buckhoff walk through what office and industrial tenants need to know before initiating a sublease, including:

• What lease provisions to review before approaching the landlord
• Why subleasing does not eliminate your liability, and how to protect yourself
• How remaining term length shapes pricing, marketing, and realistic outcomes
• What the Houston market supports on sublease pricing today
• When an assignment, buyout, or renegotiation is the stronger path forward

The earlier a tenant engages with these variables, the more leverage and options they have. Waiting until the term is short and the space has been sitting empty is the most expensive way to learn that.

Houston's Office Market Signals Strength Beneath the Headlines

Q1 2026 posted negative absorption in Houston's office market, but the headline number tells only part of the story.

NRG's exit from 479K SF at 910 Louisiana drove a 310K SF reduction in occupied space for the quarter. Strip that out, and the picture looks meaningfully different: leasing activity rose 10% quarter-over-quarter to 2.4M SF, vacancy held steady at 27.7%, and Houston tenants leased 719K SF more than they vacated across all of 2025, the market's first annual net gain since 2019.

Class-A assets captured 70% of Q1 leasing volume, and new supply remains constrained, with just 500K SF delivered this quarter and both projects nearly fully leased at delivery. Colliers Research Director Deandre Prescott put it plainly: "Companies are still looking at Houston as a primary market to be in."

For the occupiers, this quarter reinforces a consistent theme. Large single-tenant move-outs create noise in the data, but underlying demand for quality space in well-located submarkets remains intact. Westchase, as one example, recorded significant leasing activity and continues to benefit from limited supply.

If your lease is expiring in the next 12 to 24 months, conditions like these reward tenants who plan ahead. Reach out to our team to talk through your options.
