Logistics real estate development in Texas is thriving due to the state’s strategic location, expansive infrastructure, and thriving population centres. With access to major ports, highways, rail networks, and international trade routes, Texas has become a critical hub for distribution and supply chain operations. Developers are capitalising on this momentum by delivering next-generation logistics facilities across markets like Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. These developments encompass a wide range of logistics facilities, from large-scale fulfilment centres to last-mile delivery hubs, and are contributing to the state’s ongoing emergence as a major player in the global logistics sector.
One of the most prominent logistics real estate developers based in Texas is Hillwood Development Company, LLC, a global firm founded by Ross Perot Jr. that specializes in the development and acquisition of distribution centers, e-commerce facilities, and logistics hubs. Headquartered in Dallas, Hillwood operates across 89 markets in five countries and has developed or acquired over 288 million square feet of industrial space to date. With an entrepreneurial spirit and deep real estate expertise, the company continues to deliver consistent value through a strategic focus on high-growth logistics markets. The company’s development pipeline remains robust, with 6.8 million square feet of projects scheduled to commence in 2025 and over 143 million square feet of future development. A recent example of its ongoing activity is the groundbreaking of a 180,000-square-foot logistics project in Bordentown, New Jersey, launched in August 2024 in partnership with WDG.
