We're pleased to share that Eric R. Anders Jr. is joining our PRE DevCo team in Atlanta, after a great summer internship with us.

He has already played a central role supporting the team's underwriting and market analysis efforts across our industrial, retail, and medical office strategies, gaining a firsthand, holistic view of development along the way. He also spent time shadowing Bob Voyles, with a focus on assembling the right project teams and navigating public/private partnerships.

A lifelong learner at heart, Eric rounded out his finance and market work by embracing a real feel for the language of construction, all part of building toward a development career. In his words, it's been a chance to work with "incredibly capable and positive people" at Partners—a sentiment that goes both ways.

Eric is a senior Business Administration major at Morehouse College, concentrating in finance, with prior internship experience in investment banking, private equity, and consulting across the East Coast.

Congrats, Eric! We're excited to see what the rest of the year brings!

While San Antonio's office occupiers pulled back in Q2 2026, investors leaned in.

Office investment sales reached 639,570 sq. ft. across nine transactions and 12 buildings, the strongest quarter in the trailing four, up from 529,494 sq. ft. in Q1. Class A assets made up 64% of the volume traded.

North Central was also where office demand softened the most this quarter, proof that investor conviction and occupier sentiment don't always move together.

Freestanding ERs boomed, then nearly went bust. Now they're booming again, for reasons that have nothing to do with patient volume.

One arbitration clause in the No Surprises Act rewrote the underwriting math for this asset class twice.

Sean Anderson unpacks the whiplash, and why CRE should be pricing policy risk right next to location, in REBusinessOnline.

Retail leasing slowed in Houston this quarter, but plenty of tenants still found room to grow.

Leasing activity totaled 1.5 million square feet in Q2 2026, down 21.5% from the prior quarter. Notable signings included Crazy Hot Buys at Point NASA Shopping Center in Webster (48,223 square feet), Lava Island at Panther Creek Village Center in The Woodlands (38,400 square feet), and Conn's at Almeda Crossing in Houston (30,000 square feet).

Vacancy held tight at 5.7% and asking rents kept climbing toward record highs, a sign that demand for the right space in the right submarket hasn't gone anywhere.

Dallas-Fort Worth's economy keeps expanding, and its office market is starting to show it.

The metro added 24,700 jobs over the year ending May 2026, pushing total nonfarm employment to 4.35 million. Professional and business services led all sectors, up 10,900 jobs, while office-using employment grew 0.5% to 1.26 million.

That growth is showing up in the real estate numbers too: net absorption reached 2,081,006 sq. ft. in Q2 2026, and vacancy eased to 24.5%.

GSA credits broker partnerships with saving the federal government roughly $653 million on leases to date. That track record is a big part of why the agency is expanding the role of private brokers even further.

Its newly announced GLS Max contract runs five years and broadens what brokers can take on nationwide, including planning, lease acquisitions, extensions, and post award activities.

Our own Head of Federal Leasing, Charlie Johnson, spoke with CoStar News about what this expanded scope means for the industry. Link in comments.

What's it take to win over a serious IOS buyer in San Antonio? A gated perimeter, real power, and room to operate.

Partners' Stan Nowak, SIOR, Andrew Alizzi, and Colten Courtney have arranged the sale of 11618 Nacogdoches Road, a four-building industrial outdoor storage campus spanning 34,500 square feet on four acres in San Antonio's Northeast submarket. The fully secured site features access-controlled gated entry and 1,800 amps of 480-volt, three-phase power across all four buildings.

Is San Antonio retail slowing down, or just recalibrating after a red-hot stretch?

Q2 2026 brought a sharp pullback in net absorption (down to 94,972 sq. ft. from 405,772 sq. ft.) alongside a modest dip in leasing activity and rents. But vacancy is still sitting at a tight 4.1%, and investment sales stayed active, with 66 deals closing across 1.77 million sq. ft.

Our latest quarterly report unpacks the full picture, from submarket rent spreads to the biggest leases and sales of the quarter.

Not every market indicator moves in the same direction, and Houston office is proving it in real time.

Several Class A towers, including Pennzoil Place, Park Towers, and 1201 Louisiana, are on the market or under contract, one of several signs that capital is targeting quality assets in Houston's office market.

The absorption numbers explain why: Class A posted +928,397 SF in Q2, while Class B slipped to -382,225 SF. Headline numbers look healthy overall — net absorption turned positive (+590,137 SF), vacancy eased to 26.6%, and rents rose to $31.38/SF — but the gains are concentrated at the top of the market.

South San Antonio’s industrial market is getting national attention, with CoStar spotlighting JCB’s latest lease at 10120 Fischer Road in Von Ormy.

The heavy-duty truck and construction equipment manufacturer and distributor leased 198,000 sq. ft. in a deal that underscores the appeal of the submarket’s direct I-35 access and connectivity to freight routes across Texas, the U.S. and Mexico.

Partners’ John Colglazier, Stan Nowak, SIOR, Kyle Kennan, and David Oldham represented the landlord.
