Hithium Eyes 1st North America Battery Plant
The firm anchors a 3.4 million-square-foot campus near Dallas.
Hithium Tech USA Inc. has plans for a 483,874-square-foot battery module and system assembly facility in Mesquite, Texas, a Dallas-Fort Worth submarket. This will be the company’s first production facility in North America.
The Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology Co. subsidiary intends to invest about $100 million in this project.
Expected to come online in 2029, the plant will have an annual capacity of 10 GWh. The new project will accelerate the company’s development and production of energy storage system products for the U.S. market.

The facility will be part of Stream Realty Partners’ 20 East Trinity Pointe, an industrial campus totaling 284 acres. Hithium is the first company to lease space within the park and will serve as the property’s anchor tenant.
The plant will occupy the park’s Building 5. Completed last year, the facility features a 40-foot clear height, 73 dock doors and fours drive-in ramps. The property also includes 328 car parking spaces and 101 trailer parking spots.
Stream broke ground on Trinity Pointe in 2022. The two-phase campus is expected to comprise up to 3.4 million square feet at full build-out.
The industrial park is at 12955 FM 2932, off Interstate 20, providing easy access to interstates 635, 30, 35 and 45. Downtown Dallas is some 25 miles away, while Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is roughly 45 miles away.
Dallas’ pipeline leads nationally
The Metroplex had the largest development pipeline in the U.S. as of May, totaling more than 17.3 million square feet, according to the latest CommercialEdge industrial report. However, the amount witnessed a nearly 70 percent decrease year-over-year, as 53.7 million square feet were underway in May 2023.
One of the current developments is Core30 Logistics Center, a 511,000-square-foot industrial campus in Dallas. The two-building campus developed by Crow Holdings is scheduled to come online in the first quarter of next year.
