Founded in 1841, Dallas, a major inland port located in North Texas, plays a vital role in the U.S. economy. DFW serves as an international industrial gateway. Its internationally-renowned transportation infrastructure includes the world’s third-largest airport; an industrial airport that ranks as the first of its kind anywhere on the globe; major rail links; and major highways, linking the DFW metroplex to the rest of the continent.

As one of the largest and fastest growing metropolitan regions in the U.S., the Dallas-Fort Worth area benefits from a growing population base of over 7.3 million; a highly-educated, diverse labor pool; a robust and resilient economy; and innovative industries. The DFW region also contains the third-highest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the U.S. It serves as the corporate headquarters for companies such as AT&T, American Airlines, ExxonMobil, JCPenney, PEPSICO, Southwest Airlines, Texas Instruments, Tenet Healthcare, Kimberley-Clark and GameStop.

Markets

OFFICE

The Dallas commercial real estate market comprises over 270 million square feet (msf) of office space. Dallas office space ranges from large multi-tenant buildings in central business districts to suburban office parks. The largest office occupiers include banking, energy, aerospace, technology and telecommunications firms. Over 20 Fortune 500 companies maintain their corporate headquarters in DFW, occupying large spaces across the growing metroplex. 

INDUSTRIAL

DFW’s population boom is fueling demand for Dallas industrial real estate, particularly for e-commerce suppliers as online shopping grows in popularity. The Dallas metro has world-class transportation access via air, rail, and highway, making DFW an ideal location for warehouse and distribution properties. Due to continued industrial demand, construction activity has reached historic highs. Construction is particularly active in South Dallas along I-20 where major businesses have signed large leases in recent years. 

INVESTMENT

The DFW investment real estate market is enhanced by several state and local incentive programs that include tax abatements, long-term tax exemptions and free trade zones. Institutional investors—including pension funds, private-equity funds, REITs and public companies—are attracted to Dallas investment property because of the metroplex’s large market size, high income and employment levels, numerous trophy-class properties and wide range of investment-grade assets.

HOSPITALITY

The DFW region has a robust hospitality market able to accommodate large groups and conferences.  According to the Dallas Regional Chamber, DFW is the most visited metropolitan area in Texas, and tourism remains a major economic driver for the region. Dallas continues to grow as a corporate location, drawing an increasing number of business visitors each year.  The 12,661 accommodation establishments employ over 280,000 people in the Dallas market as of 2017. Hotels range from budget to luxury, with numerous options available within 15 minutes of the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

RETAIL

The DFW retail sector is one of the most vibrant in the United States. Availability of DFW retail real estate has tightened in recent years, particularly in Far North Dallas and the Uptown/Downtown area. Dallas is a corporate destination with high-paying jobs, which will continue to benefit the luxury retail market. Need-based retail continued to expand as well to support the growing population. Most major national and international brands have developed a presence in the metroplex due to ongoing development, access to products, and availability of land in surrounding DFW suburbs.
