The company behind the 27,000-acre AllianceTexas, Fort Worth-based Hillwood Properties, is building another massive speculative industrial property in the master-planned development.

The company announced Oct. 8 plans for a 1.1-million-square-foot building called Alliance Westport 24. The building will be next door to a 1.2-million-square-foot building now occupied by Georgia-based cable and wire company Southwire.

Alliance Westport 24 will also be near FM 156 and the BNSF Railway Alliance Intermodal Facility. Hillwood plans to break ground this month and complete the building at the end of next year, according to the company. Hillwood is also working on a new road that will lead to the intermodal hub. 

Hillwood signed its largest industrial speculative space to Target Corp. in 2022, a 1.24-million-square-foot building at Alliance Center East 1. Reid Goetz, senior vice president of Hillwood overseeing industrial development, said the area has seen unprecedented demand.

“With Westport 24, Hillwood is doubling down on our industrial growth strategy within AllianceTexas and remains committed to attracting best-in-class logistics and manufacturing companies requiring facilities over 1 million square feet,” Goetz said in a statement.

Hillwood states in its announcement that the new building will include 2,700 square feet of office place, LED warehouse lighting, 3,000 amps of power and 20 full-dock packages that will allow a tenant to occupy the building after its constructed. The building will come with around 394 parking spaces and 227 trailer parking spaces, which could be expanded to 564 car parking spaces and 704 parking spaces.

Roanoke, Texas-based RGA Architects is the design firm for the building and Dallas-based Westwood is the civil engineering design firm. Hillwood Construction is the general contractor.

The announcement comes on the heels of the company’s announcement in May of a 766,994-square-foot high-end speculative industrial building, which is expected to be completed next June.

Hillwood Properties has developed and acquired 31 million square feet of industrial space as well as 3.2 million square feet of retail and office and more than 4,000 multifamily units, according to the company. It’s part of Dallas-based Hillwood, the group of real estate companies overseen by Ross Perot Jr.

Last January, LG opened its first U.S. factory for assembling EV charging stations in Fort Worth. Based in South Korea with USA headquarters in New Jersey, the company said it aimed to support the growth of America’s EV charging infrastructure while creating new local jobs.

Now that goal is closer to fruition. Today LG Business Solutions USA announced that it has begun taking orders for LG’s first Level 3 DC Charger in the U.S. The new fast charger, model LG EVD175SK-PN, can be seen on the right in the photo above.

LG said the charger will be assembled “starting this fall” at the company’s Fort Worth EV charging production center. The Level 3 DC Charger features dynamic load management of multiple chargers, a high resolution 24-inch LCD touch-screen display, and a liquid cooled CCS/NACS charging cable.

A stand-type model, the charger has a connected power bank that provides fast charging up to 175kW. The outdoor LCD touch-screen display can serve multiple functions for various owners and use cases, the company noted.

“LG continues to invest in the global electrification movement, and the announcement of our first Level 3 DC charger demonstrates our ongoing commitment to provide our U.S. commercial customers with solutions that enable them to build out their EV vehicle charging infrastructure,” LG Business Solutions SVP Michael Kosla said in a statement.

“Together, our Level 2 and Level 3 chargers are creating new opportunities for businesses, municipalities, and other public places to support the electrification of America,” Kosla added, “with independently owned and operated charging stations that create new revenue streams, additional marketing and income opportunities, and differentiation with competing businesses.”

Offering a ‘significant advantage’ over smaller EV charging firms

LG said it employees a nationwide network of sales, customer support, and technical maintenance professionals, providing the company with what it calls “a significant advantage” over smaller EV charging firms and offering buyers peace of mind when investing in their privately-owned charging infrastructure. LG’s Level 2 AC and Level 3 DC chargers also feature LG software, enablign integration with other LG infrastructure elements including digital display networks, the company said.

LG said its EV chargers are part of LG Electronics’ “broad electrification strategy,” which aims to empower customers to convert buildings to more sustainable energy usage, saving money and protecting the environment in the process.

Dallas-Fort Worth is bolstering its claim as the top metro for distribution and warehousing in the United States.

A report released Sept. 26 by CommercialSearch ranked the Metroplex No. 1 overall on a composite index of 20 large metros for this key economic activity. Additionally, DFW ranked No. 1 in three key metrics: most distribution space added in the past four years, largest inventory of distribution space and most airports.

From 2019 to 2023, the Metroplex added roughly 110 million square feet of distribution and warehouse space, more than any other metro in the report. That boosted DFW’s total distribution and warehousing space to more than 613 million square feet.

Phoenix snagged the No. 2 spot on the index and added about 58.9 million square feet of distribution and warehouse space from 2019 to 2023, a 44% jump. Savannah, Georgia rounded out the top three with a 64% increase in space from 2019 to 2023, the highest percentage growth among the metros analyzed.

Houston ranked No. 6 overall and the Austin metro was 12th in CommercialSearch’s ranking.

North Texas is also known for being an easy place to fly into and out of, thanks to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Love Field. But the metro’s air freight capabilities expand well beyond those two facilities — CommercialSearch counted 17 airports in DFW, including Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport, within Hillwood’s massive AllianceTexas industrial development.

An investment from Nippon Express Holdings Inc. will help Gatik, which specializes in autonomous middle-mile logistics, deploy its autonomous technology across the North Texas region and ultimately North America.

The details

According to a news release, as a middle-mile logistics company, Gatik specializes in medium-length trips from single digits to 150 miles long. At its AllianceTexas facility, Gatik is experimenting with autonomous trucking and is using smaller trucks for shorter and more frequent deliveries from fulfillment centers to stores in Dallas-Fort Worth. Some of the companies Gatik is working with include:

• Kroger
• Sam’s Club
• Georgia Pacific
• Pitney-Bowes

The news release states Gatik achieved the world’s first fully autonomous deliveries with Walmart in 2021. Other recent investments from Isuzu Motors and ITOCHU should help the company accelerate the transformation of middle-mile autonomy.

Quote of note

“Middle-mile autonomy is critical for solving the most pressing logistics issues businesses are facing today—ensuring faster deliveries, addressing growing labor shortages, reducing costs and meeting the rising demand for goods in this era of rapid e-commerce growth,” said Gautam Narang, CEO and co-founder of Gatik. “Our investment partnership with NX Group is a testament to the impact we’re making in North America and the confidence of global partners in our ability to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”

 ‘There’s a real technology revolution going on inside the industrial space,’ Hillwood’s Perot says

Georgia-based Southwire, a cable and wire company, is settling into its 1.2 million-square-foot distribution center in AllianceTexas as the company feeds off the boom in data center development.

Southwire Co. LLC has been operating in the building for about four months, said Rich Stinson, president and CEO. The facility is expected to eventually employ about 250 people.

Last year, Southwire leased the building at 14800 Blue Mound Road in Haslet. It’s part of the massive Alliance campus developed by Hillwood.

Stinson said his business — which he called the biggest wire and cable company in North America, with 2023 revenue of about $8 billion — decided to move into AllianceTexas because of its central location and a great relationship working with Hillwood.

“Fort Worth gets us to the Midwest, gets us to the West Coast, gets us all through Texas, so we can cover half the country from here,” Stinson said.

Stinson sees a big opportunity in data centers, which he said will make up 6% of all electricity used next year. DFW is a major data center hub in its own right, accounting for about one-tenth of the primary U.S. data center market. He also cited the transition to 5G and new, high-tech factories in the U.S. as good business opportunities.

Southwire employs 9,500 people total. Stinson said the company invested $1.6 billion over the last four years and plans to invest $4.6 billion more, not including acquisitions, over the years few years. He said another DFW location for Southwire could land in Denton, where the company has another facility and owns more land, but nothing is final.

“So a very real scenario will be that we do build stuff right next to our other plant, and we’ll have sister plants,” Stinson said. “I mean, that is probably going to happen, but I’m not going to commit to that.”

Hillwood has gotten very good at catering to the evolving needs of industrial tenants. The high ceilings of Southwire’s new building are indicative of companies wanting higher inventory systems, which are increasingly being operated by robots and drones.

Ross Perot Jr., founder and chairman of Hillwood, said proximity to the BNSF Alliance Intermodal facility is also important for companies such as Southwire. He said Hillwood is going to implement autonomous trucking from the rail yards to the new building and construct a private bridge for the vehicles so they don’t have to use public roads.

“There’s a real technology revolution going on inside the industrial space that most people, if you’re not in the business, you don’t comprehend,” he said.

Despite a slower industrial market, Hillwood is continuing to construct large buildings, and announced in May a 3.5 million-square-foot space called Alliance Westport 14. Perot said there are a lot of buildings under construction that are almost leased and another wave of development is ahead. He said he was just about to approve the next million-square-foot speculative building.

Perot said AllianceTexas, with around 30 million square feet of inventory, is half developed. Currently, more than 560 firms are based there and about 70,000 people each day work in Alliance.

“We build to demand,” Perot said. “If our clients want buildings, they’re going to get buildings and even if the [interest] rates are higher, we will get a building through the system.”

The Business Facilities 2024 Metro Rankings include more than 30 categories focused on factors important to corporate relocation and expansion decisions. Now in its 20th year, these rankings are designed to provide quick insight for site selection projects across North America and beyond. The rankings look at recent activity and performance, as well as considering future opportunities emerging in these states and provinces.

In Business Facilities’ 20th Annual Rankings Report, metro areas and cities of all sizes are recognized for attracting and retaining businesses. From Best Business Climate to Fastest Growing Cities and from Tech Talent Leaders to Food Processing, the rankings showcase the variety of location choices for site selection projects across all types of business.

Cities are the economic engines behind the growth of states and regions. As part of the Annual Rankings Report, Business Facilities recognizes the activity and accomplishments occurring at the local level with the Metro Rankings each year.

Industrial Parks

This year’s Business Facilities’ Industrial Parks ranking focused on size in terms of acreage, then honed in on locations that excel in strategic location, transportation and infrastructure, and amenities. Ranging from 100,000+ acres to close to 2,000, the top ranked parks this year showcase the breadth of options for companies of all sizes. As decision-makers seek leading logistics, flexible space, and amenities there are a growing number of properties with a variety of choices for companies.

Taking the No. 2 spot is AllianceTexas, in Fort Worth, TX. The 27,000-acre AllianceTexas site serves as a world-class intermodal logistics hub, transporting goods by rail, air, and major highways like I-35W from Mexico to Canada. The master-planned mixed-use community is currently home to 574 companies. Within AllianceTexas, the Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport is ranked as #19 in the U.S. for cargo operations, moving 2.5 billion pounds of cargo during 2023. The airport also serves as a regional air hub for Amazon, FedEx, and UPS Ground.

When it comes to rail, the AllianceTexas corridor contains two Class I rail lines through Fort Worth-based BNSF and Union Pacific, with BNSF Railway’s intermodal facility performing over one million lifts per year.

Finally, the AllianceTexas corridor in Fort Worth is home to the Mobility Innovation Zone (MIZ), which offers an ecosystem to support the advancement of logistics and mobility technologies. Companies have access to complex airspace to test and commercialize their supply chain solutions, which has made the MIZ an effective site for drone delivery testing by Wing, as well as robotic trucking by middle-mile leader Gatik, and unmanned robotic couriers by Clevon.

Wing and Zipline have partnered with Walmart to offer drone deliveries for “up to 75%” of DFW residents, along with providing services for other area businesses. Now the two innovators have received the first-ever FAA approval to operate drones beyond line of sight in the same shared airspace using new UAS traffic management technology (UTM).

Marking a first in U.S. aviation history, the Federal Aviation Administration has authorized Wing Aviation and Zipline International to fly commercial drones in the same Dallas-area airspace without visual observers. 

In typical operations, a drone pilot must be able to see the aircraft at all times, the FAA said in a blog posted on Medium. But beginning in early 2023, Wing and Zipline began testing a new system called UAS traffic management technology, or UTM (UAS is short for unmanned aircraft systems.) The testing was initially done via simulations.

UTM leverages new advancements in air traffic technology and procedures that the FAA says could one day make Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights “routine.”

The FAA authorizations will allow Wing and Zipline to deliver packages in the Dallas area while keeping their drones safely separated using the UTM system—managing the airspace themselves with “rigorous FAA safety oversight.”

“This is the first time the FAA has recognized a third-party to safely manage drone-to-drone interactions,” Praveen Raju, a program manager in the FAA’s NextGen Office, said in the blog post. “As always, safety comes first, and we required exhaustive research and testing before giving the green light.”

Dallas Innovates has been following the rise of drone deliveries in North Texas for years.

A lot of initial testing happened at Hillwood’s AllianceTexas Flight Test Center in Fort Worth in what’s known as the Mobility Innovation Zone (The MIZ), where advanced testing continues to this day.

In October 2021, Wing Aviation—Alphabet’s drone delivery sister company—launched a first-of-its-kind commercial drone service in a major U.S. metro out of Frisco Station north of Dallas. That same month, Wing began making on-demand deliveries from Walgreens drug stores in Little Elm and Frisco.

In March 2022, Israel-based Flytrex began delivering chicken wings by drone from a Chili’s restaurant in Granbury in a partnership with Dallas-based Brinker International. In flights that averaged 3 minutes 30 seconds, wings zoom over Lake Granbury, pause above their destination, and are lowered to the ground in a bright yellow bag, while the drone hovers 80 feet above.

In December 2022, Walmart began drone deliveries from 11 Dallas-area stores via a partnership with the company DroneUp. The drone hubs included Dallas, Garland, Mesquite, Murphy, Plano, Richardson, Rowlett, and The Colony.

In August 2023, Walmart said it was partnering with Wing to expand its drone delivery service in Dallas-Fort Worth by adding services to two area superstores.

In October 2023, Ireland-based Manna Drone Delivery kicked off its U.S. commercial operations from The Miz in Fort Worth, with drones that fly at 60 miles per hour at a height of around 200 feet. The first deliveries were food, beverages, and Halloween candy to residents of Hillwood’s Pecan Square development at the north end of the AllianceTexas MIZ.
