HOUSTON—Floods can be devastating and put an end user out of business for a long period of time. Now that the worst is over, business owners are assessing damage, and the clean-up and repair has begun. JLL has assessed its properties and recently commented on its findings about damage.

“We manage approximately 10 office buildings and close to 40 industrial buildings in the Houston area. We had one case of some flooding in the basement of a building but otherwise we were fortunate to experience only slight impacts, such as minor leaks and temporary power outages, in just a few of our buildings,” Peyton Collins, JLL managing director, property management, tells GlobeSt.com. “Our team worked diligently to resolve any and all issues last week. All of our buildings are open, operational and available for use by our tenants.”
