Dallas Commercial Real Estate Market

Dallas anchors the northern half of the DFW metroplex, one of the largest and most active CRE markets in the United States, with a diversified economy spanning financial services, technology, telecommunications, and corporate headquarters. Uptown Dallas and the Turtle Creek corridor represent the metro's premier office and mixed-use submarkets, while the Las Colinas/Irving area houses a dense cluster of Fortune 500 headquarters including ExxonMobil's former campus and the new corporate headquarters campus corridor along SH-114. The I-35E and I-45 south Dallas industrial corridors have seen enormous build-to-suit distribution development, with DFW consistently ranking among the top three industrial markets nationally by absorption. Frisco and the Legacy/Plano corridor north of Dallas continue to attract corporate relocations, with PGA of America, Charles Schwab, and Toyota having established major campuses.

Key Economic Drivers

  • Fortune 500 corporate headquarters concentration including AT&T, CBRE, Texas Instruments, and Kimberly-Clark
  • Frisco and Plano Legacy corridor attracting major relocations from PGA of America, Charles Schwab, and Toyota
  • DFW International Airport, one of the world's busiest, driving logistics, hospitality, and corporate location decisions
  • Deep Ellum and Design District creative economy revitalizing the east side of downtown Dallas

Market Insight

DFW ranked as the top U.S. metro for corporate relocations and expansions for multiple consecutive years, driven by Texas's lack of state income tax, relatively low commercial real estate costs compared to coastal markets, and a central geographic location.
