Commercial real estate careers across greater Houston

Greater Houston's suburbs hold some of the region's most active commercial markets, from corporate headquarters in Spring and Sugar Land to life sciences in Pearland and industrial growth in Conroe. Commercial professionals at KW Commercial Texas, Houston's #1 KW Commercial market center in volume and agent count, serve clients across all of them, and across greater Houston and beyond.

Here's where the commercial opportunity is, area by area, for agents building a practice where they live and work.

Katy

Katy is home to the headquarters of Academy Sports + Outdoors and Igloo Products, and to hospital campuses including Houston Methodist West and Memorial Hermann Katy. LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch adds a 34-acre mixed-use center with about 271,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and continuing Grand Parkway (SH-99) improvements keep the corridor growing. For a commercial practice, that means headquarters, medical and retail demand in one fast-growing market.

Sugar Land

Sugar Land is an established headquarters and office market. CVR Energy has been headquartered here since 2007 and is the largest tenant at Sugar Land Town Square, and many corporate headquarters sit in the 1,000-acre Sugar Land Business Park. Applied Optoelectronics, also headquartered here, announced a 210,000-square-foot manufacturing expansion in 2025, and the city is planning office, retail and housing on the 40-acre Imperial Historic District it acquired in 2025. Sugar Land Regional Airport, with U.S. Customs, rounds out the business case.

Cypress

Cypress is growing along US-290 and the Grand Parkway. Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital opened in 2025 on a 105-acre campus, and Bridgeland Central is a 925-acre urban core planned within the Bridgeland community, where Chevron acquired more than 77 acres in 2023. New medical anchors and a master-planned commercial core make Cypress an area to watch for retail, medical office and services.

The Woodlands

The Woodlands pairs a headquarters base with a strong health care economy. Chevron Phillips Chemical opened its 360,000-square-foot global headquarters on Lakeside Boulevard in 2025, and major employers include Memorial Hermann, Houston Methodist and St. Luke's. The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership reports room for millions more square feet of commercial development.

Spring

Spring is home to two Fortune 500 headquarters: ExxonMobil, which moved its headquarters to its 385-acre Spring campus in 2023, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Those anchors support office, retail and service demand around Springwoods Village and the Grand Parkway.

Fulshear and Richmond

West Fort Bend County is where rooftops are arriving ahead of retail and services. Fulshear was the nation's second-fastest-growing city in 2023, Fort Bend County passed 950,000 residents in 2024, and the Westpark Tollway extension along FM 1093 opened its first segment in 2026. Projects such as Fulshear Central, a mixed-use development with retail, office and a hotel, and Hines' roughly 3,000-acre Heritage Bend show where commercial growth is heading.

Pearland

Pearland has become a life sciences and medical hub next to the Texas Medical Center. The 1,200-acre Lower Kirby District at Beltway 8 and SH-288 is home to Lonza's cell and gene therapy facility, United Imaging announced plans in 2025 to triple its Pearland manufacturing space, and health care accounts for half of the city's top 10 employers. SH-288's toll lanes connect directly to the Texas Medical Center.

Conroe

Conroe is an industrial and logistics market along I-45. Conroe Park North, a 1,655-acre industrial park with more than 40 companies, has been nearly full, and projects such as Deison Technology Park and NorthPort Logistics add industrial capacity. The Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport, with a customs facility, and a Hyatt Regency convention center support business travel and events.
