Leasing commercial space in Houston is an operations decision: parking, dock, power, HVAC, term, and who pays for the fit-out. Joyce Tang represents tenants and owner-users touring office, industrial, retail, medical office, and flex — then negotiates a lease you can operate under.
If buying would freeze too much capital, stay on this page. When ownership is the better long-term move, switch to buying commercial property.
Who this is for
- Companies taking first or expansion space in Greater Houston
- Retail and medical users who need parking, frontage, and a workable TI
- Industrial users who need dock, clear height, and truck access
How a tenant search runs
- Write the operating brief: size, parking, dock, power, term, and budget.
- Tour a short list only — not every suite on the internet.
- Compare net effective rent, free rent, and tenant-improvement dollars.
- Negotiate the lease with your attorney before you sign.
What to decide before the first tour
Use, headcount, storage, customer access, and how long you actually need the space. A pretty lobby does not fix a missing dock.

Questions
Gross lease or NNN?
Most Houston industrial and retail is triple-net. Office varies. We will translate the structure into a monthly occupancy number you can run the business on.
Who pays for the build-out?
That is the tenant-improvement negotiation. It depends on term, credit, and how raw the suite is. Do not assume the landlord funds a full finish.
Can you also find housing for relocating staff?
Yes. Residential search sits on the listings page; commercial occupancy stays here so the two decisions do not get mixed.
