Healthy demand for medical office space pushed vacancy down 90 basis points to 13.8% in the second quarter of 2009. • Overall, vacancy for medical office space in Houston dropped to 13.8% from 14.7% one year ago, but those gains were not enough to affect the overall average quoted rental rate keeping it relatively unchanged at $ 22.74 per SF on a full service basis from this time last year. Similarly, medical office space vacancy throughout Texas has ticked up 20 basis points over the past 12 months to 13.5%.
