Is Alliance still the most active Fort Worth industrial submarket?

Yes. Alliance leads on institutional bulk volume, but shallow-bay and last-mile pockets in the Mid-Cities and South Fort Worth are also seeing strong tenant demand and have been more attractive on a rent-growth basis.

What's the case for shallow-bay over bulk?

Shallow-bay (typically 50K–150K SF) is harder to deliver new product into, has more diversified tenant demand, and has shown stronger rent growth on a percentage basis. Bulk offers institutional liquidity and longer-term tenants; shallow-bay offers yield and growth.

Can you source off-market industrial deals?

Yes - a meaningful share of Fort Worth industrial transactions never hit the open market. Off-market sourcing is a core function of how we work with serious capital.

The Thesis

Why industrial & flex in Fort Worth.

Industrial remains the most institutionally-pursued asset class in DFW. The market posted resilient leasing in 2025, with full-year leasing volume tracking toward roughly 70 million SF (Matthews Q4 2025 DFW Industrial Report) - supported by stabilizing vacancy around 9.1% and a Q4 rebound in tenant activity after 2024's election-related slowdown.

Cushman & Wakefield's Q1 2025 DFW Industrial Marketbeat reported 9.7% overall vacancy and $8.61 PSF NNN asking rents, with 6.5M SF of YTD net absorption. The I-35W / Alliance corridor in north Fort Worth continues to anchor demand - third-party logistics, e-commerce fulfillment, building products, and advanced manufacturing.

National STNL industrial asking cap rates averaged 7.15% in Q1 2026 (Boulder Group). DFW pricing for stabilized Class A bulk typically trades inside the national average given investor preference for the market; shallow-bay and last-mile product continues to outperform on rent growth as same-day logistics tenants compete for proximity to rooftops.
