Quarterly Snapshot 3Q24 | Land | The Houston Urban Land Market A Bit Constrained
In 3Q24, Houston's urban land market remained constrained with limited transaction volume. The scarcity of desirable urban infill land combined with high prices and elevated interest rates discouraged potential buyers. This environment allowed well-capitalized investors to close deals on premium urban parcels, while suburban areas saw more viable development, particularly for industrial and single-family projects. Notable transactions in town included purchases for industrial and mixed-use projects on the northwest side and the Uptown area, where prices per foot vary widely based on location, ranging from $200-300 per SF for prime plots within urban zones.
