~2,000 SF dedicated industrial/laboratory requirement in the Houston Energy Corridor — 12 active candidates evaluated against confirmed specifications, with the top three recommended for immediate broker action.
The client seeks dedicated industrial/laboratory space near the Energy Corridor on an immediate timeline. Every figure below traces to published listing data or cited market research — unknowns are marked as unknown, not estimated.
$10–15K/mo on 2,000 SF equals $60–90/SF/yr gross — roughly 4–7× the $9–15/SF/yr asking range for Energy Corridor small-bay industrial/flex, and ~6–9× metro industrial NNN asking ($9.73–10.57/SF, Q2 2026). The binding constraints are lab-ready infrastructure (heavy power, exhaust-capable HVAC) and immediate availability — not price.
No purpose-built lab inventory exists in Energy Corridor / West Houston — metro life-science product ($47.53/SF/yr NNN, ~19% vacancy) is TMC-anchored, ~15 mi east. Metro vacancy is ~7.3% (Q2 2026); big-box sees 4–6 months free rent + $6–12/SF TI, but small-bay/flex is the tight segment (WareCRE: small-bay tenants should “move with more urgency”). Budget headroom can fund lab TI (exhaust, make-up air, power upgrade, zoning) on cheaper shell space — speed of qualification, not price, decides this deal.
How each client requirement maps to what the 12 active candidates actually publish. “Confirmed” means a cited source states it; anything unpublished stays unconfirmed until a broker call.
Partial coverage. On-target: L05 (2,257 SF), L07 divisible to 971–7,789 SF, L10 units 1,430–2,100 SF. Most candidates are 1.8–4.6× oversized; divisibility is the lever.
All 12 confirmed. Every candidate sits in Energy Corridor / West Houston (Park Row, Barker Springs, Goar Rd, Katy Fwy).
Budget not the constraint. Only 3 of 12 publish a rate (L05 $11/SF NNN; L08 $12/SF NNN; L12 ~$65/SF/yr). 8 quote upon request; 1 withheld. Published bases sit below budget — room for lab TI.
Strong coverage. Available now: L03, L04, L05, L06, L07, L08 (plus L09, L11 listed now). L01 ~30 days; L02 warehouse block immediate, lab suites TBD; L10 & L12 unknown.
Unconfirmed everywhere. Term is “negotiable” or unknown at every listing. Nothing precludes 3–5 years; nothing confirms it — ask in the first call round.
No ROFR published anywhere. Adjacent-suite expansion exists: L01 (Ste 150, 2,665 SF), L03 (Ste 175, 1,948 SF now), L05 (Ste 12654, 5,075 SF), L06 multi-suite park.
2 of 12 confirmed. L01: 1,800A service (2×800A + 200A disconnects). L04: 480V 3-phase. No listing publishes a generator or generator-ready pad — universal question.
2 of 12 with lab components. L02: dry-lab, wet-lab, chemical storage H-2 room, negative-pressure fume-exhaust test room (LoopNet listing text). L03: 3,100 SF lab, 100% AC. No listing publishes suite-level exhaust modifiability.
4 confirmed. L04 docks + drive-ins; L06 dock-high/semi-dock; L08 16 dock doors (cross-dock); L05 grade-level. Others partial or unpublished.
1 confirmed. L06 (Park 10, 16820 Barker Springs Rd) lists 24-hour access as an amenity. All others unpublished.
3 confirmed high. L03: 141 spaces included in rent. L05: 94 spaces included. L08: 246 spaces on 3.82 acres. Others unquantified.
Realistic on published availability — 8 of 12 list now/immediate. Tighten with the broker call sequence in §06; reconfirm availability before tours.
Compiled October 5, 2026 from brokerage research and live listing data. Each figure carries its source; methodology differences (gross vs. NNN asking) explain the rent spread.
Ranked by fit score (ties broken per the DOCX §06 ranking: L02 above L01). Confirmed specifications are cited to listing sources; gaps stay honest.
L04 Park Ten Ste 200 (15740 Park Row, 3,000 SF) — confirmed 480V 3-phase power plus dock + drive-in loading; the strongest lab-retrofit shell if lab rooms aren’t required on day one. → Lexie Curry, EQT, 281-635-4548. · L05 Goar Rd Ste 12664 (2,257 SF, $11/SF NNN ≈ $2,069/mo) — on-target size with the most confirmed pricing; tour first for budget calibration. → Ryan Young, Fort Commercial, 281-584-3320. · L08 Westgate (19407 Park Row, 4,960 SF, $12/SF NNN = $4,960/mo) — 16 dock doors and 246 parking spaces confirmed, published rate. → W. Stewart Smith, Fuller Realty, 713-850-8400.

Legend & honesty note: ✓ = confirmed by a cited source · ~ = partial/likely, needs broker confirmation · ? = unknown (the source did not publish it — never inferred). Rates “quoted upon request” (8 of 12) require direct broker inquiry; L09’s rate is withheld and L10 asks to contact the broker. Term is “negotiable” or unknown at every listing — nothing precludes 3–5 years, nothing confirms it. No listing publishes a generator, ROFR, or suite-level lab exhaust. Data as published October 2026 — reconfirm availability before tours. Full source URLs are in Section 7 of the DOCX.
Five steps to close the information gaps that decide this deal. 9 of 12 candidates publish no rate; generator, ROFR, and suite-level lab specs are unpublished market-wide.
Technipark Ten (L01 + L02, the top two recommendations — one call qualifies both). Ask for: rate; lab HVAC/exhaust capacity; generator; Ste 150 / adjacent-suite expansion and ROFR.
Techniplex Ste 100 (L03). Ask for: rate; exhaust modifiability at suite level; power; Ste 175 (1,948 SF) availability and terms.
Park Ten Ste 200 (L04). Ask for: rate; lab HVAC feasibility on the confirmed 480V shell; ROFR across the multi-suite park.
L05 Goar Rd (Ryan Young, Fort Commercial — 281-584-3320) and L08 Westgate (W. Stewart Smith, Fuller Realty — 713-850-8400) for quick budget calibration. L12 also publishes a rate (~$65/SF/yr) but is undersized at 1,173 SF — a rate-calibration data point only.
(a) Generator on site, or generator-ready pad? (b) Can a tenant install lab exhaust / make-up air through the roof? (c) ROFR on adjacent suites?
