Frequently asked
What counties does Greater Katy actually cover?+
Greater Katy spans three counties — Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller. The Igloo Products HQ campus, for example, sits on the Waller County side, while Cinco Ranch and much of the LaCenterra trade area are Fort Bend.
What are current Class A office asking rents in Katy?+
Suburban Class A in Katy is generally quoted in the mid-$30s to low-$40s per SF full-service, with Class B in the low-to-mid $20s. Overall office vacancy in the Katy submarket has been running above the Texas average — roughly the low- to mid-20s percent — so free rent and TI packages remain negotiable, especially in Class B.
Is Academy Sports still headquartered in Katy?+
Yes. Academy Sports + Outdoors' corporate headquarters and distribution center are both at 1800 N Mason Rd in Katy, and Academy remains one of the largest private employers in the submarket.
Who owns LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch now?+
As of July 2025, LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch is owned by Brixmor Property Group, which acquired the ~409,000 SF lifestyle center for approximately $223 million. Trademark Property Company handles leasing.
How is Katy positioned versus the Energy Corridor?+
Katy sits directly west of the Energy Corridor along I-10, roughly a 15-minute drive. Tenants often shortlist both when they want Katy ISD-adjacent workforce and Class A space at a discount to the immediate Energy Corridor node.
