OUR FEATURED TENANTS & CLIENTS

eXp Commercial - Viking Enterprise Team's real estate network provides unparalleled commercial real estate services to Tenants and Landlords around the Katy- Houston area. Our knowledge, experience, and reputation sets us apart from many firms.

A commercial property owner might have various plans that would necessitate the services of a commercial real estate broker. Some of the common scenarios include:

1. Selling the Property: If the owner decides it’s time to sell the property, a commercial real estate broker can help determine the market value, market the property effectively, and negotiate with potential buyers to get the best possible price.

2. Leasing Space: For property owners looking to lease out part or all of their commercial space, a broker can help find suitable tenants, negotiate lease terms, and ensure the lease agreements meet all legal requirements and serve the owner’s best interests.

3. Acquiring More Properties: Owners looking to expand their portfolio would benefit from a broker's knowledge of the market, access to listings, and negotiation skills to secure additional properties at favorable terms.

4. Property Management: While not all brokers offer this service, some commercial real estate brokers or their affiliates offer property management services. This can be particularly appealing for owners who prefer a hands-off approach or are managing properties from a distance.

5. Market Analysis: Owners considering future developments, renovations, or rebranding of their property might engage a broker for a comprehensive market analysis. This helps in understanding current market trends, the demand for different types of spaces, and potential returns on investment for various strategies.

6. Refinancing: In situations where a property owner is looking to refinance their property, a commercial real estate broker can provide valuable insights into the property’s current market value, assist in gathering necessary documentation, and even help in finding the best financing options.

7. Partnership or Investment Opportunities: Owners interested in exploring partnerships, joint ventures, or seeking investors for expansion or development projects might use a broker to find and vet potential partners or investors.

8. Consulting on Zoning and Use Changes: When contemplating a change in the use of the property or dealing with zoning issues, a broker with experience in local regulations and the specific property type can provide guidance and strategic planning assistance.

9. Exit Strategy Planning: For owners looking to plan an exit strategy from their investment, whether it’s through a strategic sale or a gradual winding down of operations, brokers can provide market insights, timing advice, and valuation services to optimize the exit process.

In any of these scenarios, the expertise and services provided by a commercial real estate broker can save the property owner time and money, while also providing access to a wider network of potential buyers, tenants, and industry professionals. Give us a call today!

🏆 “Houston’s 2026–2030 CRE Winners: The 5 Best Asset Classes for Investors 🚀”

The 5 CRE Asset Classes Most Likely to Outperform in Houston from 2026–2030

Houston is quietly entering one of the strongest commercial real estate cycles in years — driven by population growth, corporate relocations, infrastructure expansion, major medical investment, and the rise of clean energy, AI, and advanced manufacturing.

From 2026–2030, certain asset classes are positioned to dramatically outperform the broader market due to supply shortages, strong tenant demand, and long-term economic tailwinds.

Below is the definitive ranking for investors, developers, and business owners.

🏆 #1 — Industrial & Logistics (The Undisputed Winner)

Industrial absorption in Houston continues to outperform every major U.S. market outside DFW and Phoenix — and rents are still rising.

Drivers:

·Manufacturing reshoring

·Port of Houston expansion

·AI + robotics facilities

·Cold storage demand

·E-commerce warehousing

·Data center conversions

Why It Wins:
Low vacancy, high rental growth, and nearly unlimited tenant demand across West Houston, Katy, Fulshear, Brookshire, and Waller County.

🥇 #2 — Medical Office (MOB) & Healthcare Real Estate

Houston is the medical capital of the U.S. — and West Houston is experiencing explosive hospital expansion.

Fueling demand:

·Houston Methodist West expansion

·Memorial Hermann growth

·New micro-clinics & specialty practices

·Aging population demographics

·High-income neighborhoods seeking concierge care

Why It Wins:
Recession-resistant + high-credit tenants + low supply → stable long-term returns.

🥈 #3 — Flex Industrial (The Quiet Cash Cow)

Flex is the most underrated CRE asset in Houston — blending office + warehouse + showroom.

Why Flex is booming:

·Perfect for trade businesses & contractors

·1031 buyers love them

·Limited new construction

·Easy to reposition or re-tenant

Why It Wins:
Flex outperforms because it serves the fastest-growing business segment in Texas: small service companies, trades, and light industrial operators.

🥉 #4 — Land (Especially Along Growth Corridors)

Land in Katy, Fulshear, Brookshire, Waller, and Rosenberg is becoming a scarce investment.

Demand is driven by:

·BTR developers

·Industrial users

·Schools & municipal expansion

·Retail growth around the Grand Parkway

·Utility corridor expansion

Why It Wins:
Buy-and-hold land investors will see major appreciation from 2026–2030 as population surges westward.

#5 — IOS (Industrial Outdoor Storage)

IOS is becoming one of Texas’ hottest niche CRE segments.

Why IOS stays strong:

·Lack of zoned land

·High tenant stickiness

·Demand from logistics, laydown yards, transportation, and energy service companies

Why It Wins:
Low cap-ex + high demand + near-zero functional obsolescence.

Honorable Mention — Owner-User Buildings

High-income business owners in West Houston (medical, trades, professional services) continue shifting from leasing to ownership.

Boosted by:

·SBA 504 loans

·Wealth-building tax advantages

·Control + stability

·Ability to relocate into appreciating submarkets

Great for:
Doctors, dentists, attorneys, CPAs, contractors, and specialty retailers.

🎯 Final Ranking (2026–2030 Houston CRE)

1️⃣ Industrial & Logistics
2️⃣ Medical Office (MOB)
3️⃣ Flex Industrial
4️⃣ Land (growth corridors)
5️⃣ IOS (truck yards, storage, laydown)
