At RDS Real Estate, we’ve always had a soft spot for the dreamers, the doers, and the everyday entrepreneurs who keep the Fort Worth economy rolling. That’s why we’re proud to say — we love mom-and-pop businesses. From small repair shops and detailing services to growing automotive startups, we know that small businesses are the backbone of our communities. And we’re here to make sure you have a place to thrive with our wide assortment of industrial space and commercial property for rent.

The Heart of Local Business

Big corporations may dominate headlines, but it’s the small, family-run operations that give our local economy its heart. When you stop by your favorite neighborhood mechanic or visit a trusted family-owned tire shop, you’re supporting real people — your neighbors — who are putting in long hours and genuine effort to build something lasting.

At RDS Real Estate, we understand what it takes to build from the ground up. We started small too, and that’s why we’ve built our business around providing affordable, practical industrial space solutions for small business owners. Our goal is simple: to make it easier for entrepreneurs to open their doors and focus on what they do best — serving their customers.

Spaces Designed for Small Businesses

Not every business needs a giant warehouse for rent or sprawling retail center. Some need just a few hundred square feet to get started — maybe a small office, a single bay for repairs, or a compact workshop where they can get their hands dirty. That’s where we shine.

RDS Real Estate has developed and manages hundreds of small commercial properties throughout Tarrant, Johnson, and Parker Counties — all designed with small business owners in mind. We offer units as small as 320 square feet, ideal for startups or solo operations, and others with flexible layouts that can grow as your business does. Need a roll-up door, small office space, or a place to park work vehicles? We’ve got options for that too.

And the best part? Our spaces are inexpensive by today’s standards — something we’re proud to offer in a world where costs seem to rise every day. We believe affordable rent gives small businesses the breathing room they need to succeed.

A Home for Automotive Businesses

If you’re in the automotive industry, we might just be your perfect match. We’ve leased space to every kind of auto business you can imagine — mechanics, body shops, detailers, custom installers, small car lots, mobile repair services, and even classic car restoration specialists. We know the unique needs of automotive tenants, and our industrial properties for lease are designed to meet them.

Many of our industrial units come with wide bay doors, high ceilings, and ample parking, perfect for automotive work. Some spaces are zoned for light industrial use, so you can turn wrenches, paint, or detail cars without the headaches that come from being in a space not built for your type of business.

We understand that a good location matters too. You’ll find RDS properties near major highways, allowing easy access for customers and suppliers alike. Whether you need to be close to downtown Fort Worth, in the bustling Alliance area, or south in Alvarado or Mansfield, we have something close by.

Affordable, Flexible, and Local

What sets RDS apart is our flexibility and local focus. Because we’re based right here in Fort Worth, we know the area inside and out — and we know what local businesses need to succeed. We’re not some national chain run by out-of-state investors. We live and work in the same communities our tenants serve.

That means we take a hands-on approach to property management. Our leases are straightforward, our team is responsive, and we treat our tenants like partners, not just names on a rent roll. We want you to grow — because when you do, our communities benefit.

We’ve also made it easy for tenants to scale up as their business expands. Start with a single bay today, and when you’re ready, we can help you move into a larger unit in the same area or even across town. It’s this kind of flexibility that makes RDS Real Estate such a great fit for small and growing businesses.

The Fort Worth Advantage

We’ve invested heavily in the Fort Worth area because we believe in its potential. North Texas continues to be one of the most dynamic and business-friendly regions in the country, attracting entrepreneurs from every industry. But while the big players move in with their sprawling campuses, we’ve stayed focused on making sure the “little guys” — the mom-and-pop businesses that started it all — still have room to operate.

Our properties can be found in some of the most accessible and fast-growing business parks in the region, including Box Office Warehouse Suites in the Alliance area, 917 Industrial Park in Alvarado, and FM 157 Business Park in Venus. Each location offers something unique, but they all share one thing in common: they’re designed for small businesses that want affordable, functional space without compromising on location or quality.

Your Partner in Growth

At RDS Real Estate, we believe in partnership. When you lease from us, you’re not just renting a space — you’re joining a network of local business owners who are building something real, something lasting. We take pride in being part of that journey.

So, whether you’re a small automotive repair shop looking for your first location, a family-owned detailing business needing more room, or any other mom-and-pop operation searching for affordable space to call home — RDS Real Estate is here for you.

After all, we don’t just lease property. We help dreams find an address.
