This is another reason why I'm not as concerned about overbuilding in the office sector. There still seem to be plenty of tenants, some of whom are looking to increase the size of their staffs.
BisNow also had a brief mention of Verde Parc and the changing pattern of outlet mall development. If this happens, it's going to be very close to Katy Mills (though it was originally mapped out as a mall development before it got sold by Simon Properties):
"To keep up with demand, retailers have started manufacturing MFO (made for outlet) merchandise. Next on Ed’s agenda: leasing the retail components of Verde Parc (120 acres along the Grand Parkway in West Houston that’ll feature office, multifamily, restaurants, hotel and retail). The site (pictured) actually used to be owned by Simon but was purchased by Parkside Capital at the beginning of the year. He’ll start talking with users and site developers in early 2015"
