HOUSTON - s4story -- Lee & Associates has released its Q2 2026 Houston Industrial Distribution Market Report, highlighting continued strength across one of the nation's leading logistics markets.

Houston's industrial market remained resilient during the second quarter as leasing activity strengthened, asking rents reached a new cyclical high, and tenant demand continued to absorb newly delivered speculative space. While vacancy increased modestly, market fundamentals remain healthy, supported by disciplined development, sustained occupier demand, and continued growth at Port Houston.

Key findings from the report include:

• Asking rents increased to a record $0.79 per square foot.
• Quarterly leasing activity exceeded 7.4 million square feet, up more than 20% from Q1.
• The construction pipeline continued to moderate as developers aligned new projects with tenant demand.
• Port Houston trade activity and the region's transportation infrastructure continue to support long-term industrial growth.

"Houston's industrial market continues to transition into a more balanced phase while maintaining exceptionally strong fundamentals," said Mary Doetterl, Research Director. "Disciplined development, resilient tenant demand, and the region's long-term economic advantages continue to position Houston as one of the country's premier industrial and logistics markets."
