Fort Worth Industrial Warehouse Lease Rates in 2025
Fort Worth has emerged as one of the nation's premier industrial markets, driven by exceptional logistics infrastructure, population growth, and business-friendly policies. Understanding current lease rates is essential for making informed real estate decisions.
How Lease Rates Compare by Submarket
Asking rents in Fort Worth industrial follow a consistent pattern even as the actual numbers move quarter to quarter:
| Submarket | Rent Tier | Product Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Alliance / North Fort Worth | Premium | Newest Class A bulk distribution, BNSF intermodal and Alliance Airport access |
| South Fort Worth / I-35W Corridor | Mid-market | Broad mix of Class A and older Class B product, manufacturing heritage |
| East Fort Worth / I-20 Corridor | Mid-market | Newer last-mile product priced above the older stock around it |
| West Fort Worth / I-30 Corridor | Value | Lowest asking rents in the market, more build-to-suit land |
Within each submarket, Class A distribution commands a premium over Class B warehouse, and new construction prices above both. Flex and light industrial with heavy office finish quote higher per-foot rents than pure warehouse.
