Real Estate Agent at Keys & Capital Global Group, EXP

Passionate about assisting clients with their commercial real estate investments, ranging from small businesses to corporate entities and land deals. Real estate agent Ayca Sivrikoz knows a thing or two about relocation, as her corporate career resulted in several moves both overseas and within the U.S. With considerable experience buying and

selling properties, as well as involvement in helping colleagues with their moves abroad, she developed a passion for finding the perfect properties. Real estate is a fairly new endeavor for Ayca, who previously earned a Ph.D. in civil engineering and worked as a petroleum engineer. However, her engineering and corporate background provided her with many skills that lead to success in real estate, including analytical thinking, local market assessments, contract preparation, and stakeholder communication. She also has exceptional negotiation skills and a mission to advocate for her clients, which led to a successful shift into the world of real estate. While she is relatively new to the industry, she has plenty of experience helping others as they make major moves and transitions in life. She previously volunteered at an expat welcoming center in Oman, where she helped expats find their homes and adjust to life in a new country. From this experience, she developed a passion for helping her community and working with new people. In her free time, Ayca loves exploring all that Houston has to offer. She loves visiting new restaurants, jogging trails, and attending local events. She is also an accomplished artist, and her paintings are on exhibit throughout Houston.

Most business owners in Houston don't know this: right now is the most tenant-friendly leasing market in 3 years.

Vacancy at 7.5%. Landlords offering TI allowances and free rent that weren't on the table in 2022. And manufacturing vacancy still sitting at 2.5% — a completely different story depending on what you need.

I put everything into one free guide. Swipe through for the highlights — then DM me "PLAYBOOK" and I'll send the full version.

This is why I do this work.

60-day lease expiration panic → keys in hand on time.
"Found things wrong with buildings I loved" → avoided two costly mistakes.
$40K saved before move-in → already sent me two referrals.

Tenant representation costs you nothing. The results speak for themselves.

If you're searching for Houston industrial or flex space — or you know a move is coming — DM me "SPACE" and let's get ahead of it.

The Port of Houston just had its best year in history.

54.5M tons. 4.3M TEUs. Both all-time records. And Q1 2026 tonnage is already up another 12%.

Most investors know the port matters. Fewer understand what that means for the industrial real estate sitting around it — lowest vacancy in the metro, highest rents, longest lease terms, and demand that doesn't stop when the economy softens.

Swipe through for the full breakdown.

DM me "PORT" for current availability and comps in the port corridor.

People ask if e-commerce demand for warehouse space has peaked.

It hasn't. Here's why Houston is different from the national story.

Nationally, big-box logistics vacancy has risen as developers overbuilt during the pandemic surge. But that's a story about 500,000+ SF facilities leased by Amazon and Walmart.

The Houston industrial story that actually matters for most business owners and investors is happening at a completely different scale.

Every $1 billion in new e-commerce sales generates roughly 1.25 million SF of industrial demand. And Houston — with 7M+ metro residents and one of the fastest-growing population corridors in the country — keeps adding new consumers faster than most metros.

That demand doesn't just flow to mega-distribution centers. It flows to:

→ Last-mile delivery hubs under 100,000 SF
→ Returns processing facilities
→ Regional fulfillment operations for Texas-based e-commerce brands
→ Cross-dock facilities serving the I-10 and I-45 corridors

For tenants: the spaces that serve e-commerce operations — dock-high, good clear height, freeway access — are the tightest segment of the Houston market right now.

For investors: small-bay and flex industrial serving last-mile logistics is where the supply/demand imbalance is most acute. Manufacturing vacancy in Houston is sitting at around 2%. That's not a soft market.

The macro headlines are about big-box softness. The real opportunity is in the middle-market industrial that Houston actually runs on.

I track this every week. DM me "MARKET" if you want a current read on what's available and where the demand is strongest.

12 transactions. 40,000+ square feet. Every single one in Houston industrial and flex.

I don't share numbers to impress. I share them because they represent something more important — 12 business owners and investors who needed the right space and found it.

The distribution company that was running out of room. The contractor who'd been in the wrong building for years. The investor who needed a straight read on a deal before committing capital. Every search was different. Every one mattered.

Here's the thing I keep coming back to: finding the right industrial or flex space isn't just a real estate transaction. It changes how a business operates — its costs, its efficiency, its ability to grow. I came into this work as an engineer and as an operator. That lens doesn't leave you.

To every client who trusted me this year — thank you. It's the only word that fits.

If you're planning a move, an expansion, or an acquisition in Houston's industrial market in 2026 — let's talk before you start. The earlier we connect, the better your outcome.

Houston industrial vacancy hit 7.4% in Q1 2026. Here's what that number actually means.

First, some context: vacancy was at 5.0% at the cycle low in late 2022. The rise since then has been driven almost entirely by new supply — not by tenants leaving or demand falling. Houston has now posted 16 consecutive years of positive net absorption. Businesses are still moving in. Developers just built faster than the market could absorb.

That matters — because it tells you what kind of market you're in.

→ If you're a tenant searching for space right now, this is the most favorable environment you've had in 3 years. Landlords are negotiating. Free rent periods are back on the table. TI allowances are more available. And with flex space averaging $0.98/sq ft NNN and warehouse/distribution at $0.83 — you have real room to find value if you know which submarkets to focus on.

→ If you're an investor, rents are up 9.1% year-over-year to $10.39/SF despite the vacancy uptick. That's the market telling you that quality, well-located product holds its value. The risk is concentrated in large, speculative big-box assets. Small-bay and flex? Still tight. Still performing.

The number on the headline is 7.4%. The story behind it is more nuanced — and a lot more useful.
