Fort Worth — Far north Fort Worth has the largest industrial real estate construction pipeline in the country, according to data from CoStar Group, with 7.7 million square feet in the pipeline across 20 ongoing projects. The concentration of development is centered on the Hillwood-owned 27,000-acre AllianceTexas complex, where Alliance is the largest submarket in the Dallas–Fort Worth region.
Overview and immediate details
The region’s pipeline leads the nation in new industrial construction activity, and the broader Dallas–Fort Worth market is showing strong demand for industrial space. DFW leads the country in industrial tenant demand with 22.3 million square feet of absorption in the past 12 months, underscoring robust leasing activity that is supporting new builds and speculative development.
Major projects in the pipeline
Two of the three largest projects in the current pipeline are owned by Hillwood. The top projects include a 1.15 million-square-foot Westport 24 facility and a 767,000-square-foot Alliance Westport 14 asset, the latter of which was purchased by Wistron Corp. this summer. Hillwood has also announced plans to break ground on an additional 1.1 million square feet across two projects in 2026, further expanding the submarket’s footprint.
Recent transactions and leases
Market activity includes a lease executed by LanCarte Commercial for Tarrant County Emergency Services. The lease covers a 31,780-square-foot industrial building located at 14485 U.S. 377 in Fort Worth. That building sits on a 3-acre site and contains 2,415 square feet of office space.
On the sales side, Davidson Bogel Real Estate completed the sale of two stabilized, low-coverage industrial assets in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. The properties are:
- 9090 Forney Road in Dallas — a 4,000-square-foot industrial building on 2.6 acres with a sub-10% site coverage ratio and access to I-30, I-635, and U.S. 80.
- 10111 Harmon Road in Fort Worth — a 7,000-square-foot warehouse on 2 acres in the North Fort Worth/Alliance submarket with direct access to Interstate 35W.
Market implications
Investors are showing strong demand for infill, low-coverage industrial properties with stable tenancy and substantial outdoor yard space. The two Davidson Bogel transactions reflect an appetite for assets that offer functional warehouse space and ample outside storage while being difficult to replicate because of limited land availability and rising construction costs in the DFW market. Properties that combine yard space, highway access and a central location are being prioritized for long-term stability and operational flexibility.
Broader context
The combination of a sizable construction pipeline in far north Fort Worth and high tenant absorption in the DFW market is maintaining momentum across both traditional warehouse development and industrial outdoor storage (IOS) segments. The AllianceTexas area, anchored by Hillwood’s holdings, continues to serve as a major focal point for large-format development in the region, attracting both speculative projects and pre-leased industrial facilities.
