At RDS Real Estate, we’re proud to say we are locally owned and operated. That’s not just a slogan for us—it’s the very foundation of who we are and how we do business. In a world where more and more commercial real estate companies are owned by big corporations or out-of-state investors, we think being local makes a big difference, both for our clients and for the communities we serve across Tarrant, Johnson, and Parker Counties.
Let’s talk about why that matters—why local ownership still counts, and how it benefits anyone looking for industrial or commercial property for rent in the Fort Worth area.
We Know Fort Worth Because We Live and Work Here
When you call RDS Real Estate, you’re not talking to someone sitting in a high-rise in another city or a call center halfway across the country. You’re talking to a team that lives, works, and invests right here in the Fort Worth area. We know the roads, the traffic patterns, the zoning quirks, and the personalities of the communities we operate in—because this is our home too.
That local insight makes a real difference when you’re searching for the right commercial or industrial space. Fort Worth isn’t just one big city—it’s a patchwork of unique neighborhoods, suburbs, and business districts. What works for a business in the Alliance area might not make sense for someone who needs a shop in Alvarado or a storefront in Mansfield. Our job is to help you find your fit, not just fill a vacancy.
When we say we understand the market, it’s because we experience it every day. We’ve watched Fort Worth grow, evolve, and expand into new areas, and we’ve built our portfolio right alongside that growth. That’s how we’ve been able to create so many convenient, affordable options for local business owners, from one-person startups to established companies needing large industrial property for lease.
Locally owned and operated Means Responsive and Flexible
If you’ve ever dealt with a national property management company, you know how impersonal things can get. Long response times, complicated processes, and decisions that have to “go up the chain.” That’s not how we operate.
Being locally owned means we make decisions right here. We don’t need to ask permission from someone in another state to make a change or solve a problem. If a tenant needs to expand their space, adjust their lease, or just needs a question answered fast—we can do that. We’re accessible, and we’re invested in our tenants’ success.
At RDS Real Estate, flexibility isn’t a buzzword—it’s part of how we’ve earned the trust of hundreds of small business owners across North Texas. We understand that no two businesses are the same, and being local gives us the ability to tailor solutions that make sense for you, not for a spreadsheet in a corporate office somewhere.
Supporting Local Business Is in Our DNA
We’re passionate about small businesses—especially those “mom and pop” operations that are the heart and soul of Fort Worth. After all, RDS Real Estate started as a small, local business too. We know what it’s like to take that leap, to sign that first lease, to put everything you’ve got into making something work.
That’s why we make it a point to offer affordable industrial properties for lease that help local entrepreneurs get started without breaking the bank. Whether you’re an auto mechanic needing a small shop, an artist looking for studio space, or a retailer ready to open your first storefront, we have properties designed for real people running real businesses—not just deep-pocketed corporations.
And because we live and work int he same comm
Investing in Fort Worth’s Futurei
Local ownership also means local investment. Every dollar that RDS Real Estate earns gets reinvested right here—in new developments, property improvements, and community growth. We don’t ship profits out of state. We build more opportunities for North Texans.
Our developments, like the Fort Worth Design District and 917 Industrial Park in Alvarado, were created specifically to meet the needs of the growing Fort Worth region. They’re designed for entrepreneurs, small manufacturers, and creative thinkers who want room to grow. These projects are about more than just real estate—they’re about helping shape the future of our community.
We’re proud to contribute to the local economy not just by providing space but by creating jobs, supporting other local vendors, and helping build the kind of business environment that keeps Fort Worth strong and independent.
Why It Should Matter to You
So why should it matter to you that RDS Real Estate is locally owned and operated? Because when you choose a local company, you’re choosing people who care about your success. You’re choosing responsiveness, flexibility, and a partner who understands the local market from the inside out.
You’re also keeping your money in the local economy—supporting a Fort Worth business that, in turn, supports other Fort Worth businesses. It’s a cycle of growth and collaboration that benefits everyone involved.
When you rent commercial property for lease from RDS, you’re not just signing a lease. You’re joining a network of local entrepreneurs and business owners who believe in doing things the right way—locally, fairly, and with a personal touch.
RDS Real Estate: We are Locally Owned and Operated, and proud of it.
