CoStar: 27 Percent of Houston’s Commercial Real Estate May Be Flooded

by Kristin Harlow September 1, 2017

HOUSTON — CoStar Group Inc. has assessed the potential impact Hurricane Harvey could have on the Houston commercial real estate market, with findings reported that 27 percent of the gross leasable area may be flooded. This represents $55 billion in property value. The commercial real estate analytics firm reports that roughly 72,000 apartment units sit within the 100-year floodplain and are likely to be flooded. A 100-year flood is a flood event that has a 1 percent probability of occurring in any given year. The area of inundation is mapped and referred to as a “100-year floodplain.” In total, CoStar reports there are 12,000 properties with 400 million square feet of space that fall within the 500-year floodplain. This zone has a .2 percent chance of flooding each year. Only 9 million square feet of space, including 4,000 apartments, are within a designated floodway and most are probably inundated with floodwaters today. However, 175 million square feet located in the 100-year floodplain, including 72,000 apartment units and 20 million square feet of office space, are likely seeing water incursion today. Another 225 million square feet sits in the 500-year floodplain and is also at some risk of flooding, according to the report. “Unfortunately, the …

Hurricane Harvey May Accelerate Multifamily Absorption in Houston, Says RADCO CEO Norman Radow

by Taylor Williams September 1, 2017

Nearly a week has passed since Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas, drenching Houston and the Gulf Coast area with trillions of gallons of rainwater and sending residents scrambling for shelter. While Houston is now, in the words of Mayor Sylvester Turner, “mostly dry,” CoStar estimates that roughly 72,000 residential units are situated within Houston’s 100-year floodplain and are expected to suffer water damage, if they haven’t already. The volume of devastation has prompted property owners across all sectors of commercial real estate in Texas to issue press releases on the status of their properties. Texas Real Estate Business reached out to Norman Radow, CEO of The RADCO Cos., a private equity firm in the multifamily space whose holdings were mostly spared by Harvey. The Atlanta-based company owns seven multifamily properties in Texas, including four in Houston totaling about 1,800 units. Of those, only about 1 percent, or 18 units, were damaged by Harvey. The following interview captures his firm’s efforts to help displaced tenants, and offers insight on how Hurricane Harvey might positively impact future absorption and occupancy in Houston’s multifamily market. Texas Real Estate Business: Prior to the storm, the consensus coming out of Houston seems to have been …
