Here are the Biggest Industrial Sales in Dallas-Fort Worth in 2023
Dallas is churning out warehouses like never before.
In fact, the Metroplex surpassed one billion square feet of industrial space, according to Colliers. Chicago is the only other market to reach that milestone.
The largest industrial sale of 2023 was in West Dallas, where financial services company R2C SA picked up four buildings that are part of Turnpike Industrial Distribution Center.
Here are the biggest industrial sales of 2023, according to data compiled by Newmark.
R2C SA’s West Dallas acquisition
The August transaction totaled 1.4 million square feet. While the price was not disclosed, the buildings were valued at more than $67 million in 2023, according to the Dallas Central Appraisal District. They are located at: 2271 and 2322 French Settlement Road, 3950 Bastille Road and 4040 Pipestone Road. The center is in West Dallas, just off of Interstate 30, which connects Dallas to Fort Worth.
Gleich Properties picks up DalParc building
Building 1 of DalParc Logistics Center got a new owner in May: San Diego-based Gleich Properties. The 920,000-square-foot building sits on 47 acres in southern Dallas County, near Lancaster. The property is adjacent to an Amazon warehouse and a L’Oreal warehouse. Building 1 was constructed in 2016 and is located at 3350 Altamoore Drive. The price was not disclosed, but the property was valued at over $56 million in 2023, according to DCAD.
Knight-Swift nabs Forney Logistics Center
The eastern Dallas suburb of Forney is becoming an industrial hub. It’s already home to facilities for Amazon, Goodyear and Walmart. In January, the 904,000-square-foot Forney Logistics Center was delivered. In June, it sold to Knight-Swift, the fifth-largest publicly traded trucking company. The property, which is located at 11333 County Road 212, was fully leased when it was sold, and the sale was brokered by Newmark. The price was not disclosed.
Cabot Properties buys Garland portfolio
The GSW portfolio, which included two buildings, traded hands in June. The price was not disclosed. One building, at 975 West Oakdale Road in Garland, spans 221,000 square feet and sits on almost 13 acres. It was built in 2022, and in 2023, it was valued at $15.5 million, according to DCAD. The building at 1113 West Oakdale Road spans 576,000 square feet and was built in 2020. In 2023, the building was valued at a little under $37 million, according to DCAD.
Link Logistics scoops I-30 Distribution Center
The I-30 Distribution Center sold in October to Link Logistics, the largest U.S.-only owner and operator of last-mile industrial real estate. The two-building property spans 750,000 square feet at 3901 and 4001 Adler Road in Dallas. Its tenants include Geodis and FedEx. The sale price was not disclosed, but the property was valued at $44 million in 2023, according to DCAD. The deal was brokered by Newmark.
TA Realty offloads Garland portfolio
Chicago-based Link Logistics was the buyer, and an entity tied to Boston-based TA Realty was the seller, according to property records. This two-building portfolio sold in July. One building, at 1601 South Shiloh Road, spans nearly 132,000 square feet and was built in 2019. In 2023, it was valued at over $8 million, according to DCAD. The other building, at 1801 South Shiloh Road, spans 117,000 square feet and was also built in 2019. DCAD valued it at over $9 million.
Taurus Investments buys Carrollton and Irving properties
Taurus Investment Holdings added six properties – totalling almost 600,000 square feet – to its industrial holdings. One of the buildings, at 2425 Camp Ave in Carrollton, was built in 1979 and spans 120,000 square feet. DCAD valued it at under $5 million last year. Another building, at 1400 Hutton Drive, spans 42,000 square feet and was valued at over $2 million in 2023.

MDH Partners snaps up Fort Worth logistics building
Atlanta-based MDH paid almost $68 million for Building I, at 9450 Burleson Cardinal Road, in the Fort Worth Logistics Hub. The 670,000-square-foot building sits on 39 acres, and the price was about $100 per square foot. VanTrust Real Estate developed the complex, which was delivered in 2022. It is fully leased by Samsung SDS, which provides logistics services to the Samsung Group.
KKR’s $560M industrial divestment includes three DFW assets
In September, global investment firm KKR sold off its 5 million-square-foot industrial portfolio, including three DFW properties: Edmonds 121 in Lewisville; Valwood Trade Center in Carrollton; and Richardson 3110-3120.

Arguments about the best doughnut shops can get heated. We have our own personal top 10 favorites. And we have issues with DoorDash’s list below. So, let’s dive right into this sweet, round confection with a hole in the middle.
For National Donut Day, which is Friday, June 5, for all those who celebrate, DoorDash has a roundup of the top 100-rated small and medium-sized donut shops on DoorDash. The list includes local businesses across 86 cities and 25 states.
To be considered for the Donut Day Dozens list, the bakery must be small or medium-sized, have fewer than 10 stores, and have at least 1,000 reviews. The shops with the highest average consumer ratings from April 2025 to April 2026 were chosen.
Of the 21 donut shops chosen across Texas, 13 are located in North Texas.
North Texas bakeries named best doughnuts
- Morning Donuts – Dallas, TX
- Baker’s Dozen Donuts – Cross Roads, TX
- Busy B’s Bakery – North Richland Hills, TX
- Donut House Plano – Plano, TX
- Donut King #3 – Fort Worth, TX
- Eagle Donuts – Crowley, TX
- Earnest Donuts – Lewisville, TX
- Four Seasons Donuts – Irving, TX
- Jin’s Donuts – Farmers Branch, TX
- Master Donut – The Colony, TX
- Stacy Donuts – McKinney, TX
- TWISTY DONUTS MANSFIELD – Mansfield, TX
A few misses
There are some obvious big misses here. Like La Rue in Trinity Groves, which apparently was left off because it has fewer than 1,000 reviews. We awarded this chef-driven shop Best Doughnuts in 2025 for pushing out top-tier confections every morning and a seasonal menu that will both win you over and break your heart. They’re also using only beef tallow in the fryers now.
And no Jarams? The shop on Preston Road has a 4.7 average rating on DoorDash, and it appears 4.8 was the cutoff. The family-owned Jarams is one of the best shops in Dallas.
As is Detour Donuts in Frisco. This is run by an ambitious young baker who draws long lines for themed doughnuts and a rotating menu.
Beyond North Texas …
The rest of the awarded donut shops were mostly located in Houston, with a sprinkle in San Antonio. Shops were listed in alphabetical order, and not with any sort of numbered ranking system.
- Best Donuts – Humble, TX
- Southern Maid Donuts – Humble, TX
- DAWN DONUTS – League City, TX
- Max Donuts – Houston, TX
- Nom Donuts – Houston, TX
- Snowflake donuts – Houston, TX
- ST Donuts – San Antonio, TX
- Mom’s Donut Shop – Gainesville, TX
- The Donut Palace – Lufkin, TX

Federal, local agencies tout results of North Texas anti-crime operation before World Cup
With a little more than two weeks until the first FIFA World Cup match in Dallas, local and federal law enforcement agencies announced Wednesday the conclusion of a major operation targeting organized crime in North Texas.
Representatives from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, ATF Dallas, FBI Dallas, Dallas police, Frisco police and other agencies said Operation Red Card focused on violent crime, drug trafficking and human trafficking networks ahead of the international tournament.
Officials said the operation lasted about 10 weeks and involved efforts to seize drugs and firearms, arrest offenders and disrupt criminal activity.
“It is evident that this operation has been an extraordinary success leading up to the FIFA World Cup,” said Ryan Raybould, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas.
Raybould said the operation resulted in about 250 indictments.
Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux praised the coordination between local and federal agencies.
“Right here, this is what right looks like. Us, working together to keep everyone safe in Dallas,” Comeaux said. “I love working with my federal partners and U.S. Attorney’s Office for us to continue to keep everyone safe in Dallas.”
Comeaux said fugitive operations tied to the U.S. Marshals Task Force have led to more than 1,300 arrests involving felony warrants.
“We’re over 1300 arrests of individuals that don’t belong on the streets because of felony warrants,” he said.
The chief also discussed the department’s drone program and preparations underway before the first World Cup match.
“We’re trying to get everything set up before the first game. It’s a lot of moving hands when it comes to that,” Comeaux said. “Right now, we have eight drone docking stations up. And we are using them now when it comes to first responders.”
“And listen, when those drones are up, you can see clearly different criminal activities that are taking place,” he added.
Federal enforcement operations have faced scrutiny nationwide in recent months. Raybould addressed questions about balancing heightened security with maintaining a welcoming atmosphere for visitors.
“They are vigorously enforcing the law but they’re also great men and women that are representatives of the institution that they represent, and they do ton of outreach events, they do reentry events,” Raybould said. “So that’s their job. I expect that to continue.”
Jake Holmes, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Texas, also addressed immigration enforcement and drug trafficking investigations.
“Tackling illegal immigration and tackling drug trafficking are really one in the same fight,” Holmes said. “Multiple drug houses, based on intelligence we received, revealed that networks of people in the United States are leveraging their connection back in their home countries.”
Joseph Rothrock, FBI special agent in charge, said officials used security planning from previous Super Bowls as a reference point for the World Cup, though he noted the scale of the tournament is much larger.
“Here in Dallas, that’ll be more matches than any other host city in the United States,” Rothrock said. “As far as comparing this World Cup to previous World Cups, it really doesn’t compare. It’s the first time that we’ve seen the World Cup hosted in three different countries.”
Raybould said Project Safe Neighborhoods, a federal initiative focused on reducing violent crime through partnerships with local agencies, will continue beyond the World Cup. He said the program has been in place for 20 years and uses local crime data to identify areas needing additional enforcement resources.
Video: Here’s 5 bold predictions for the Patriots in the 2026 Season
The New England Patriots enter the 2026 NFL season with big expectations after losing to the Seattle Seahawks in last season’s Super Bowl.
George Pickens hasn’t been in the news for a week now, so something had to break and it came in the form of a Cowboy legend giving him advice on how to handle his contract situation.
There is also speculation that this year will be his last with the Dallas Cowboys and the last year in the silver and blue for a former Texas Longhorn linebacker. CeeDee Lamb and coach Brian Schottenheimer are also in the news, or what passes for it in late May in the NFL.
Here are some Cowboys headlines.
George Pickens, Emmitt Smith
The NFL’s all-time rushing leader and Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith went on to the NFL Network’s The Insiders show and shared his opinions about George Pickens’ situation. Pickens’ contract status has been a major storyline this offseason and he is now set to play on a one-year franchise tag.
Indications are he wasn’t a long-term contract (as anyone would), but Jerry Jones has not opened negotiations on this. Smith’s advice to Pickens is something Cowboy fans hope Pickens follows.
Smith said: “I would say to George Pickens right now, you just ran into the business side of sports, period. There’s nothing else but pure business. Try not to take it personally. I know you will, because I would take it personally too, but shuffle that energy to your performance because I think your performance itself is going to speak a lot louder than anything else.”
Meanwhile, the blog Inside the Star predicts Pickens, as well as linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, will not be with the team in 2027.
Of Pickens, Mark Heaney writes, “We’ve seen the front office be unwilling to even negotiate a long-term deal, likely due to the issue of paying two wide receivers at the top of the market. In theory, the Cowboys could franchise tag him again next offseason, but consecutive tags mean a 120% increase from the previous year’s salary; that’s unsustainable for the organization. Instead, I think we see him dealt for some compensation ahead of the 2027 NFL Draft.“
DeMarvion Overshown
Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, a Texas Longhorns product, has tantalized Cowboys fans when he’s been healthy, but that hasn’t been much. He missed all of his rookie year in 2023 with a blown-out knee, which came after several strong preseason games.
He blew out his knee again late in the 2024 season, which caused him to miss the first half of the 2025 season.
Mark Heaney of the blog Inside the Star predicts that this coming season, one way or another, will be Overshown’s last in Dallas.
He writes: “The other guy, DeMarvion Overshown, is a genuine fan favorite, and it is easy to understand why. Former Texas Longhorn, electric, high-energy player when healthy, true team leader. That all resonates with the Dallas faithful in a significant way, but it doesn’t change the facts around his situation, especially when it comes to health.
”Overshown has had major struggles with staying on the field, and if he comes asking for a big bag in 2027 after more issues this year, Dallas will say no.
”On the flip side, his elite potential could result in a huge year that, similarly to Pickens, prices Dallas out from extending him to a long-term deal. The addition of Jaishawn Barham in the draft adds another layer to it, as he should be able to replace Overshown next year.”
CeeDee Lamb
Last week new New York Giants coach John Harbaugh, took a shot at the Dallas Cowboys at New York’s town hall event, saying, “All I care about is tomorrow’s practice, because if tomorrow’s practice is the way it’s supposed to be, that will be one more step in the direction of being a good enough football team to kick the Cowboys’ ass.”
Evidently mocking Harbaugh fell to receiver CeeDee Lamb, who went on Instagram to post a rather understated, “lol that’s cute.”
This being May, that was enough to grab some headlines and get his name back in the news.
Dallas Cowboys coach
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer will enter his second year as head coach, marking his fifth year with the club. He is now looking to sell his McKinney home for $3.8 million in order to move closer to the Cowboys’ headquarters in Frisco (McKinney is about a half-hour drive from Frisco).
“It really is just time being closer to work, and every minute counts, when you’re at that level, for him,” listing agent Carrie Himel told Neil Franklin of the Dallas Morning News.
For those interested, the house is listed at 5,700 square feet.
Dallas Cowboys tickets 2026
Seat Geek is the official partner of the Dallas Cowboys, so this is where to get official tickets. The Cowboys are also offering packages for the Week 3 game in Rio de Janeiro against the Ravens, ranging from $1,200 to $5,750. That doesn’t include airfare, and the cheap rate doesn’t include a hotel.
Other places to buy tickets, which will be more expensive but with a much larger selection than the official tickets, include StubHub, Ticketmaster and Vivid Seats. Those sites also offer tickets for away games.
