Texas & Mountain States Opportunities

As we progress through 2025, the commercial real estate (CRE) landscape in Texas and the Mountain States is evolving, presenting both challenges and opportunities for investors and operators.

Key 2025 CRE Market Trends

• Data Center Expansion

  San Antonio and Austin have emerged as leading markets for data center development, driven by the surge in artificial intelligence and cloud services. The combined market has quadrupled since 2020, with significant projects underway. However, this rapid growth is straining power infrastructure, necessitating substantial investments to meet demand.

• Industrial Sector Dynamics

  The industrial real estate market continues to experience robust activity. Notably, Dallas-Fort Worth led the nation in industrial sales volume during the first two months of 2025. Despite a leveling off in sale prices, the market’s diverse industrial base, including manufacturing and logistics, sustains its appeal. CommercialEdge

• Multifamily Market Stabilization
  

  The multifamily sector is showing signs of stabilization, with strong rental demand leading to a 46% increase in net absorption, totaling nearly 551,000 units. While new supply slightly outpaces demand, vacancy rates have held steady at 8%, and rent growth remains modest at 1.1%. National Association of REALTORS®+1Log in or sign up to view+1

• Office Market Reassessment

  Investors are cautiously re-entering the U.S. office market, optimistic about its recovery. In 2024, office building sales volume increased by 20% to $63.6 billion, with foreign investors showing renewed interest. This trend suggests a potential rebound in the office sector as leasing activity picks up and property values adjust. WSJ

• Retail Sector Resilience

  Retail real estate is demonstrating resilience, with a focus on experiential retail and suburban locations. The sector enters 2025 with the lowest vacancy rate among commercial real estate sectors, indicating sustained demand despite broader economic challenges.
