OVERVIEW<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

PORT HOUSTON: DRIVING INDUSTRIAL AND LOGISTICS DEMAND<\/strong>
\nPort Houston remains the primary catalyst for Southeast Houston's industrial real estate market, supporting sustained demand across logistics, warehousing, distribution, import\/export, and manufacturing. Its scale, multimodal connectivity, and continued infrastructure investment reinforce Houston's position as one of the nation's premier freight gateways, driving long-term industrial growth throughout the region.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CHANNEL CAPACITY AND TERMINAL EFFICIENCY<\/strong>
\nContinued investments in terminal modernization, channel improvements, and technology are enhancing throughput capacity, supply chain visibility, and operational efficiency across the Port. At the center of this network is the 52-mile Houston Ship Channel, the busiest waterway in the United States by tonnage. In 2023, the Channel handled 309.5 million short tons of cargo, representing approximately 12% of all U.S. waterborne trade, while Port Houston established a new record by handling 4.14 million TEUs in 2024, reinforcing its expanding role in global commerce. Port Houston continued its record-setting performance in 2025, handling more than 54.5 million short tons of cargo across its public terminals, a 3% increase from the prior year, while container volumes reached a record 4.3 million TEUs. These results reinforce the Port's expanding role in global trade and continue to support long-term industrial demand throughout Southeast Houston.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARKET CONDITIONS<\/strong>
\nPort-driven activity continues to anchor industrial demand within Southeast Houston, the region's most strategically important logistics corridor. As of Q2 2026, the submarket totaled approximately 86.3 million square feet of inventory, with direct vacancy at 11.3% and weighted NNN asking rents averaging $0.73 per square foot. Although vacancy has increased as recently completed speculative projects enter the market, leasing activity and net absorption continue to reflect healthy demand from logistics, manufacturing, and distribution users tied to Port operations. Looking ahead, Southeast\u00a0 Houston remains one of the nation's most strategically positioned industrial submarkets. Continued Port Houston investment, resilient trade activity, and long-term population and economic growth are expected to support industrial demand as newly delivered space is absorbed through the balance of 2026.<\/p>\n

PORT HOUSTON TEUs<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Port Houston continues to serve as one of the nation's leading container gateways and a primary driver of industrial demand across Southeast Houston. Through May 2026, the Port handled nearly 1.9 million TEUs, reflecting stable cargo volumes following several years of exceptional expansion in container traffic. While year-to-date container activity remained relatively flat compared with the same period in 2025, current volumes continue to reflect healthy trade fundamentals supported by a diversified mix of import and export cargo.<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Continued investments in channel improvements, terminal modernization, and operational efficiency reinforce Port Houston's long-term competitive position while supporting reliable cargo movement throughout the Gulf Coast. Combined with strong regional transportation infrastructure and continued manufacturing activity, these investments position the Port to accommodate future cargo growth while maintaining its role as one of the country's premier logistics gateways.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking ahead, port-driven industrial demand is expected to remain healthy through the balance of 2026. As global trade patterns continue to normalize, sustained cargo volumes should support leasing activity, absorption, and long-term demand for modern distribution, cross-dock, and port-oriented industrial facilities throughout Southeast Houston.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

MAJOR U.S. PORT UPDATE<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Major U.S. port activity in May 2026 reflected continued strength in containerized trade, with most of the nation's largest gateways reporting year-over-year cargo growth. Port Houston handled 398,322 TEUs, a 4% year-over-year increase, reinforcing its position as one of the country's most stable and consistently growing container ports.<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

 <\/p>\n

While West Coast ports posted the strongest gains during the month, led by Long Beach (+32%) and Los Angeles (+17%), growth remained positive across much of the Gulf and East Coast. Savannah (+2%), Virginia (+2%), Houston (+4%), and Oakland (+2%) also recorded increases, while the Port of\u00a0 New York & New Jersey (-9%) and Seattle\/Tacoma (-5%) experienced declines.<\/p>\n
