Black Mountain Energy Acquires 917,000-SF Industrial Park in Benbrook, TX
Fort Worth, Texas-based Black Mountain Energy has acquired Chisholm 20 Commerce Park in Benbrook, Texas, picking up 917,374 square feet of newly completed, Class A industrial space about 10 miles southwest of downtown Fort Worth.
The park, developed by Jackson-Shaw and completed in 2024, sits at 7650 Winbrook Drive on 69 acres inside the broader DFW metroplex. It’s the largest industrial project ever built in Benbrook. Black Mountain financed the deal with a $94.5 million loan originated by Affinius Capital and arranged by CBRE’s Tom Burns and Hunter Habash.
The four-building park is reported to be 82.6% leased to five tenants, including TeaBevCo, Mooring, Aaron’s, U.S. AutoForce and one unnamed tenant. Building specs run 32 to 36 feet of clear height, 42 to 67 dock doors per building, and 185- to 190-foot truck courts. The park has direct access to the Chisholm Trail Parkway and sits near both Fort Worth Meacham International Airport and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Per Texas disclosure rules, the purchase price has not been made public. The loan size, however, reflects the scale of what Black Mountain is putting behind new Class A industrial supply in DFW.
Affinius Capital Managing Director, Costa Kontoulis, called Dallas-Fort Worth “a very compelling industrial market” and said Chisholm 20’s scale, connectivity and Class A quality made it a natural fit for the firm’s lending strategy.
“This transaction underscores our conviction in logistics-driven assets and our ability to execute alongside best-in-class sponsors, like Black Mountain,” he added.
DFW Market Outlook
The Chisholm 20 deal lands as Dallas-Fort Worth continues to draw sustained attention from both occupiers and capital markets. In fact, the DFW construction pipeline remained the largest in the country at the start of 2026 with nearly 30 million square feet, per Yardi Research.
Additionally, DFW recorded a new lease spread of $2.16 per square foot to rank eighth nationally and sit alongside a group of Southern markets that have consistently posted some of the widest rent premiums in the country. Tampa, Fla., led that group at $3.61 per square foot, followed by Miami; Atlanta; Nashville, Tenn.; and Dallas-Fort Worth, all of which recorded substantial spreads, thereby reflecting persistent upward pressure on rents.
The market is also one of five metros absorbing the bulk of data center development nationally with 3.2 million square feet of starts last year. Northern Virginia led that group at 6.1 million square feet. Then, Phoenix, Atlanta and Columbus, Ohio, rounded out a cohort that together accounted for more than half of all data center construction in the country last year.
