JLL marketed the property for sale. The industrial park currently has a 95 percent occupancy rate and a weighted average remaining lease term of more than nine years. Based on the listing, the tenant roster includes Walgreens, Crown Equipment, Smart Warehousing and Mainfreight. The property also has a 42,282-square-foot portion of vacant space.

Developed by Hillwood, AllianceTexas is a mixed-use master-planned community across 27,000 acres in Dallas-Fort Worth’s North Fort Worth submarket. The multi-sector hub includes industrial, office, retail, residential and data center properties along with undeveloped land.

AllianceTexas encompasses a total of 53.4 million square feet, developed since its inception in 1990 that brought more than 63,000 jobs through the end of last year to the area, according to a presentation by Mike Berry, president of Hillwood, during a Fort Worth City Council work session. The mixed-use AllianceTexas business park closed 2021 with 3.6 million square feet in new leases, as well as lease renewals totaling 2.7 million square feet.

Notable tenants include Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, UPS, Meta and Amazon. AllianceTexas continues to draw tenants new and old. In 2020, Charles Schwab relocated its headquarters to a 1.2 million-square-foot campus within Circle T Ranch. Last year, Walmart expanded its presence with the acquisition of a 1 million-square-foot facility in Alliance Westport.

Hillwood continues to expand AllianceTexas. The developer recently announced plans for The Campuses at Circle T, which will include six or seven corporate campuses, part of the 2,500-acre Circle T Ranch. The Gensler-designed properties encompassing 10 million square feet will surround a new park by landscape architect Nelson Byrd Woltz.
