Dallas Commercial Property: Where There’s Challenge, There’s Opportunity
Asked recently about the prospects for the coming year in the Dallas Fort Worth commercial real estate market, expert after expert counseled patience. But they didn’t counsel despair.
The market veterans called for patience because the national wave of commercial real estate foreclosures won’t leave the area untouched. But they have faith in the underlying fundamentals of the market—and there’s every reason to think their faith is justified. That’s because the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex has advantages few, if any, areas in the country can match:
- A business-friendly environment at the local, regional and state level
- A resourceful work force, with legions of skilled, trained workers
- A first-class transportation network, with interstate highway and rail access to major urban centers across the country and a world-class airport in Dallas/Fort Worth International
- A population that’s growing by leaps and bounds
- Office warehouse for rent in Dallas
- Office warehouse for rent in Fort Worth
- Office warehouse for sale
- Office warehouse for sale in Arlington
- Office warehouse for sale in Dallas
- Commercial office space for lease in Dallas
Add to that the fact that North Texas has managed to avoid the worst effects of the economic crisis—its unemployment and home foreclosure rates are significantly below the national average—and you’ve got a sturdy platform for future growth. Looking for commercial property in Dallas? How about a commercial property for lease in Dallas?
Of course, Dallas and Fort Worth haven’t gone unscathed through the worst financial crisis to hit the United States since the Great Depression. Companies that were looking to move, or to expand, have frequently had a sudden change of plans recently. There are plenty of commercial listings just now, and that’s why there’s plenty of opportunity in the market for commercial properties.
