By Ryan McCullough, partner, managing director, Austin, Partners Real Estate Dating back to mid-August, the 10-year Treasury yield rose about 65 basis points to 5.29 percent in early October before slipping back below 5 percent toward the end of the month. That move has widened the gap between how the Texas medical office market prices perceived safety and perceived risk. Early in 2026, deals with perceived safety, such as those with national tenants on long-term leases, traded at staggeringly low cap rates that didn’t align with market debt. With all-in interest rates at 5.75 to 6.25 percent, we saw cap rates at or below those numbers. On market terms for amortization and down payment, the loan constant on that debt is close to 8 percent. The debt service could never meet coverage requirements, yet those deals kept trading. Deals with perceived risk, such as those with short-term leases with local or regional tenants, traded in the mid-7-percent cap range. That pricing reflected current debt and the adjustments sellers needed to make to meet the market. Those cap rates have kept rising, and buyers are getting more aggressive in what they ask for. Now debt has risen to nearly 7 percent, …
Major multifamily markets in Texas, beleaguered by an onslaught of supply as developers chased new renters moving to the state during the COVID pandemic, are beginning to see signs of recovery. But it’s one that looks dramatically different not only between cities, but also from one submarket to the next. Rents are roughly flat in Dallas and remain below year-ago levels in Austin, Houston and San Antonio after two to three years of decline, says Patrick Strake, managing director with Franklin Street. And depending on the submarket, apartment renters are jockeying for, and receiving, significant concession packages relative to the rest of the United States, he adds. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, those include six to eight weeks of free rent (and as much as 10 to 12 weeks in some submarkets). “Texas is still going to be a great spot for capital for years to come, given its job growth and business-friendly nature,” adds Strake, who is based in Austin and leads Team Texas, the firm’s statewide multifamily investment sales platform. “But right now, equity is being highly selective, because the four big metros are coming out of a supply wave on four different timelines.” Hardest …
GLEN ROSE, TEXAS — Amazon plans to open a data center campus in Glen Rose, about 55 miles southwest of Fort Worth, an initiative that the Seattle-based conglomerate says will create about 550 new full-time jobs.
