What does the Dallas commercial real estate market look like?

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.

What are USDA loan rates in Dallas?

Down payments usually run 10% existing business, 20% new business, and closing can take 60-120 days. Compare multiple Dallas-area lenders to find the best terms for your deal.
What qualifies as a rural area for USDA loans?
USDA generally requires the project to be outside cities or towns above 50,000 population and outside adjacent urbanized areas. The safest move is to confirm the project address on the USDA eligibility map before you spend money on third-party reports.
Can USDA Business & Industry loans be used for working capital?
Yes, in many cases. USDA says B&I proceeds can cover working capital, but term limits are shorter than for real estate or equipment, and the lender still has to show the deal cash flows.
What is the USDA guarantee percentage in 2026?
USDA's FY2026 notice sets the standard B&I guarantee at 85% for loans under $5 million and 80% for loans from $5 million to $25 million, with a 90% tier for qualifying isolated rural Alaska projects. Separate USDA guidance says most single-borrower requests should still think in terms of a normal $10 million limit unless an exception is approved.
How long can a USDA business loan term run?
The term depends on the use of proceeds. USDA training guidance allows up to 30 years for real estate, up to 15 years or useful life for machinery and equipment, and up to 7 years for working capital.
