Houston office space for rent — 651 units across 71 buildings

Both, and they mean different products. Serviced suites and coworking desks are advertised for rent on a rolling monthly basis — that is where the 138 units under $1,000 a month sit. Conventional office space for lease in Houston is signed for a lease term of 12 months or more and is quoted per square foot per year: the median $2.79 per ft² a month here is $33.48 per ft² a year. Both formats are on this page and the monthly figure on every card is directly comparable.

Per square foot, the Energy Corridor and Katy: a median $2.68 per ft² a month across 71 units in 10 buildings, against $3.41 in Downtown Houston across 72 units in 8 buildings, about 21% less. Median monthly rent follows — $2,380 in the Energy Corridor versus $2,810 Downtown. Northwest Houston is cheaper still at $2.58 per ft², while Uptown and the Galleria offer the widest choice with 122 units in 13 buildings.

From 43 ft² to 94,356 ft². Of the 651 units, 220 are under 500 ft², 178 between 500 and 1,000 ft², 153 between 1,000 and 2,500 ft², 47 between 2,500 and 5,000 ft², 42 between 5,000 and 10,000 ft² and 11 above 10,000 ft². 398 units — 61% — fit under 1,000 ft², and only 53 clear 5,000 ft².

Private offices in conventional buildings, fully serviced suites, coworking desks, meeting rooms, business addresses and virtual offices. Serviced and coworking space is let on flexible monthly terms; a conventional lease is usually signed for a year or more.

Serviced offices and coworking desks are furnished, wired and ready to use — usually within a few business days. A conventionally leased floor needs a fit-out, which typically takes weeks to a few months depending on the scope of work.

For serviced offices and coworking, many operators work with foreign entities. For a conventional lease landlords normally expect a US entity, a local guarantor or a larger deposit. Setting up an LLC or a corporation is straightforward and does not block the search.
