The choice of commercial real estate is endless, as is the choice of location. And with so much choice, where do you begin?

If you're considering moving to US office space and you want to move somewhere hot then Texas could be the ideal choice for you. Hot, humid and vast; Texas is the perfect location for any business.

There's Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth and Austin, which are great cities for a company that has just moved into the area.

But let's go into a little more detail and cover some more of the specific advantages of leasing Texas office space. With that in mind, below are some of the key things that Texas could offer to your company.

1. Texas has a capital with a continually growing economy and population. The state capital is Austin and it has a population that is at the present time around 790,000 people, so you'll never be short of employees or customers. The city was also named the second Best Big City in "Best Places to Live" 5 years ago by Money magazine and according to the magazine Travel it ranks as the number one on the list of cities with the best people.

2. ...
... In Texas there is a lot of offices, which are of the utmost quality. Highly affordable prices, multifunctional floor space and stylish interiors make Texas one of the premium locations for office space in America. As result, it is perhaps not surprising that Texas is the location of 3 of the Fortune 500 companies - Forestar Group, Whole Foods Market, and Freescale Semiconductor.

3. Texas has a great sub-tropical climates, has great weather and it means that Texans experience warmer summers and cooler winters. This makes it perfect for a business that would prefer a bit of a warmer climate. The Texan climate is also really good for your workers because it has an average temperature and rainfall that is ideal for parents and kids. It also offers your employees the opportunity to install a swimming pool and really get their worth out of it.

4. If you are a defence or technology based company then a city in Texas could be great thanks to a steady stream of graduates from The University of Texas. This has lead to the state becoming a major player in the technology sector and being the location for a lot of large scale technology companies such as Google, AMD and Apple. With a lot of successful companies in the area, the state is therefore ideal for creating networking opportunities. For example, my friends company took a Dallas Office and it really opened up a lot of opportunities for the company.

5. The culture, art and music in Texas are really something. The Texas state capital is Austin and Austin has a slogan, which is "The Live Music Capital of the World", this one phrase seems to sum up the atmosphere in the city. The city also has a booming night life, especially on 6th street and the city's South by Southwest annual film and music festival attracts thousands of tourists each year. And you should remember that such a large amount of tourists means a large amount of potential customers.

These points tell me that even though Texas might not be the most high profile state in the US, such as California, but it could just be one of the top locations for business real estate.
