Dallas Industrial
Real Estate Leads

The DFW industrial market in numbers

• ~900 million sqft of industrial floorspace across the DFW metro — comparable to the Inland Empire by absolute size
• ~50,000 industrial tenancies spread across seven primary submarkets and a dozen secondary ones
• ~8–10% vacancy rate as of Q1 2026, with the market working through a large construction pipeline (mostly Class A big-box delivering 2024–2026)
• Average lease size: 80,000–200,000 sqft in Alliance and South Dallas; 10,000–50,000 sqft in Great Southwest; the long tail of sub-10,000 sqft tenancies is the densest population numerically
• ~800 I&L brokers active in DFW across CBRE, JLL, Colliers, Cushman & Wakefield, Stream Realty, Lee & Associates, Holt Lunsford, Transwestern, Younger Partners, and boutique firms

The Class A construction cycle has absorbed most of the big-box demand in Alliance and South Dallas. The market tightens fastest at the mid-size (50,000–150,000 sqft) level — which is exactly where SCAYLED's neighbor-scan logic converts best.

The neighbor strategy for DFW industrial

The highest-converting DFW industrial lead is the operator inside the same building as your listing. The second highest is the operator on the same park or within the same submarket. Only after those do you widen out to the metro and then the region.

Why it works in DFW specifically:

1. Submarkets are sticky — Great Southwest tenants expand into Great Southwest or the DFW Airport submarket, not Alliance. Moving across DFW means rebuilding the driver base, the supplier relationships, the interstate routes, and the customer delivery pattern. Most expansions stay within 10 miles.
2. Same-building match = zero disruption — an occupier two bays over can expand into your listing without changing a single pickup, delivery, or staff commute.
3. Landlords want it too — Hillwood, Prologis, Crow Holdings, STAG, Stockbridge, Industrial Realty Group — these owners would rather grow an existing tenant than sign a new one.
4. Sublease signal is strongest inside the park — an operator quietly looking for an out of their current lease usually tells their neighbors before they tell a broker.

Broker workflow — a typical week

Monday 9 am — listing brief in. 145,000 sqft tilt-wall warehouse coming on in Great Southwest, 10-week lead time to list.

Monday 9:10 am — SCAYLED scan. 650 ft radius. Two minutes later: 43 neighboring operators, 21 verified contacts, 5 same-building matches.

Monday 10 am — calls to same-building tenants.Three of five pick up. One is a mid-size 3PL that renewed last year but has been quietly looking because their customer wants 150,000+ sqft in the building. That's your deal.

Monday afternoon — outreach to the remaining 16 verified contacts with drafted emails personalized to the listing. Six responses by Wednesday.

By Friday — three formal inquiries, two offers in hand, listing goes live the following Monday with two offers already negotiated.

What SCAYLED doesn't do (and what to pair it with)

• Title and ownership: pair with CoStar, Reonomy, or the Dallas Central Appraisal District directly. See vs CoStar → and vs Reonomy →
• Comparables and valuation: CoStar Analytics or internal brokerage comps
• Zoning and planning: city / county GIS portals
• Construction pipeline: JLL, Cushman & Wakefield, CBRE research reports

SCAYLED is the "who do I call" layer. The rest of the broker stack is unchanged.
