Retail vacancy remains low and asking rents are at record levels, supported by population growth in suburbs such as Pearland.
Sources: vacancy, rent, average cap rate, and construction from the Lee & Associates Houston Retail Market Report (Q2 2026). Neighborhood center cap rates from the CBRE U.S. Cap Rate Survey (H2 2025, published February 2026). These are market benchmarks, not an appraisal of any property.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a net-lease property attractive?
A creditworthy tenant on a long lease that pays taxes, insurance, and maintenance, leaving the owner with steady income and few management duties.
How long are typical retail leases?
Small shop leases often run 3 to 5 years, while national and anchor tenants commonly sign 10 years or more with renewal options.
