AllianceTexas is the country's most concentrated master-planned inland logistics park
AllianceTexas is a ~27,000-acre master-planned development in north Fort Worth, built around Fort Worth Alliance Airport and the BNSF Alliance intermodal terminal. Developed by Hillwood (Perot) since the 1990s, it's the single largest inland-port logistics complex in North America, bigger than any comparable single-site development in Chicago, Inland Empire, or Atlanta. Roughly 60 million sqft of industrial occupancy, anchored by more than 500 companies including Amazon (multiple 1M+ sqft fulfillment centers), Walmart, FedEx, UPS, Lockheed Martin, BNSF (naturally), LG, Motorola Solutions, Nestlé, DSV, and XPO Logistics.
Tenants at Alliance are almost always big-box, typical leases are 500,000–1,500,000 sqft single-tenant Class A. The logistics logic is intermodal rail + airport + I-35W interstate — three freight modes in one cluster, which is why tenants serving national distribution, ecommerce fulfillment, or aerospace supply chain consolidate here. Rent is ~5–10% premium over Great Southwest given the Class A quality and Alliance-managed infrastructure.
What an Alliance scan returns
A typical scan in the Alliance core surfaces:
- Every neighbouring operator that fits (lower density than Hartsfield or Coppell because Alliance buildings are huge single-tenant 500k to 1M+ sqft boxes with more space between them)
- Same-building matches flagged: most Alliance stock is single-tenant, but some flex and mid-size parks run 3 to 8 tenants per building
- Decision-makers at VP Operations, Regional Director, Plant Manager, Director of Supply Chain level. Alliance tenants are almost always branches of national operators
- Intermodal / rail-served / big-box operators up-weighted. Alliance's DNA
- BNSF Alliance intermodal proximity flag for tenants with rail-served operations
Key submarkets inside AllianceTexas
Alliance Gateway Business Park (spine)
Class A big-box along Westport Pkwy, Alliance Gateway Fwy. 500,000–1.5M sqft single-tenant anchors: Amazon DFW6, Amazon MDW2, Walmart import DC, Nestlé, LG, Callaway. Roadside visibility + direct intermodal access.
Heritage Pkwy corridor (mid-market 200k–500k sqft)
Regional distribution and mid-size 3PL. Less single-tenant, more 200,000–600,000 sqft buildings.
Alliance Airport industrial (aviation + aerospace)
Fort Worth Alliance Airport adjacency. Lockheed Martin F-35 line adjacency, Bell Textron, aviation MRO, specialty aerospace. Smaller footprint but high strategic value.
Alliance Park 35 (I-35W corridor)
I-35W frontage buildings. Mid-market 150,000–500,000 sqft. Good for tenants wanting interstate visibility without paying Gateway-spine rent.
North Fort Worth overflow (Haslet, Roanoke, Keller, Fort Worth)
Adjacent submarkets bleeding into Alliance. Haslet and Roanoke carry Alliance overflow for mid-market 200k–500k sqft. Useful for a 1,200 ft scan of edge-of-Alliance listings.
Why Alliance tenants cluster here (not DFW Airport, not Great Southwest)
- Intermodal rail. BNSF Alliance is one of the largest inland intermodal terminals in the US. Tenants relying on rail-served freight (ecommerce inbound, big-box distribution, aerospace) need this connection. DFW Airport and Great Southwest don't substitute.
- Airport + aerospace proximity. Fort Worth Alliance Airport + the F-35 Lockheed Martin plant attract aerospace supply chain tenants who must sit near the runway.
- Master-planned Class A quality. Hillwood's development standards produce consistent Class A 36'+ clear height, heavy-power, ESFR fire-protection buildings that outperform organic submarket stock for ecommerce fulfillment.
- I-35W interstate spine: direct north-south access to Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri for long-haul freight.
Tenants don't cross between Alliance and DFW Airport or Alliance and Great Southwest because the operational logic is completely different. Intermodal rail tenants can't function at DFW Airport; air freight tenants can't function at Alliance (Fort Worth Alliance isn't a cargo hub). The neighbour strategy works within Alliance because tenants stay within 5 miles when they expand.
How Alliance compares to other DFW submarkets
| Submarket | Primary tenant type | Typical listing size | Rent vs DFW avg | Multi-tenant density |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alliance | Big-box ecom, intermodal, aerospace | 500k–1.5M sqft | +5–10% | Low |
| DFW Airport | Air freight, customs, cold-chain | 50–150k sqft | +10–15% | High |
| Great Southwest | Regional distribution | 100–400k sqft | Baseline | Medium |
| South Dallas | Bulk distribution, low-cost | 200k+ sqft | −15–20% | Medium |
| North Fort Worth (off-Alliance) | Manufacturing, regional | 50–300k sqft | −5% | Medium |
| Valwood (Farmers Branch) | Small-bay + mid-market | 20–80k sqft | +5% | High |
Alliance is the US's big-box intermodal pinnacle. Tenants here are rarely under 200,000 sqft and almost always branches of national operators.
How an Alliance scan runs
- Drop the listing address (e.g. 15201 Heritage Pkwy; or 13201 Alliance Gateway Fwy)
- Let Scayled expand outward from the property, same building first, then direct neighbors, then the wider precinct
- Let the scan run
- Review every operator that fits, the same-building matches, VP Operations / Regional Director / Plant Manager titles, verified emails
- Draft outreach in-app, contact reveals included in your plan
