Record activity

Demand for industrial product in Dallas–Fort Worth remains near record high levels, as deliveries of 9.9 million square feet and total groundbreakings of 9.2 million square feet in the third quarter evidence nation-leading construction activity, according to a report from JLL.

The North Fort Worth warehouse/distribution submarket has seen 5.9 million square feet of net absorption year-to-date, on an inventory of 96.6 million square feet, resulting in an overall availability of 14.7 percent, also according to JLL.

Not quite two weeks ago, Samsung signed a lease for all of a 670,941-square-foot building, the first phase of VanTrust Real Estate’s 41-acre Fort Worth Logistics Hub, at Risinger Road and I-35 West.
