High Street Logistics Snaps Up Dallas Campus

Urban Logistics Realty has sold Urban District 35, a 440,663-square-foot industrial park in Denton, Texas, a Dallas submarket. High Street Logistics Properties purchased the four-building asset by using an acquisition loan from The Hartford Financial Services Group, CommercialEdge data shows.

The developer broke ground on the campus in January 2022, financing its construction with a loan from First United Bank and Trust Co. Pennybacker Capital was the equity partner, Ridgemont Construction served as general contractor, while Kimley Horn provided engineering services for the GRS Andrade Architects-designed project.
