The DFW Deal Sheet: 287K SF Spec Industrial Building Breaks Ground In Grand Prairie
A large speculative project aims to cash in on Dallas-Fort Worth’s flourishing industrial market.
Constellation Real Estate Partners started construction on the nearly 287K SF Constellation Rock Island Logistics Center in Grand Prairie. The Class-A industrial building will be built on nearly 17 acres at 4701 W. Rock Island Road.
Work on the project is slated to be completed next summer.
Designed by Meinhardt Associates, Constellation Rock Island Logistics Center will feature a rear-load building, 36-foot clear height and 80 trailer positions. The facility will accommodate users from 75K SF to nearly 287K SF.
“The fundamentals of DFW industrial market remain strong as the Metroplex continues to experience substantial population growth,” Constellation partner Scott Ellerman said in a statement. “The logistical qualities of this facility provide door-to-door access to approximately 8 million residents within an hour’s drive.”
Constellation Rock Island Logistics Center will offer immediate access to Highway 161 and connections to tenants, labor and the metro’s consumer base.
Marketing and leasing efforts for the industrial center will be exclusively handled by Cushman & Wakefield’s David Eseke and Clay Balch.
