With a market this large and robust, it’s no surprise that an overwhelming number of nominations were submitted. In the end, 105 projects, transactions, and dealmakers were selected for recognition. Here they are.
Dallas has been named the No. 1 commercial real estate market for 2025 across the U.S. and Canada. Researchers from ULI and PwC praised the region’s “enviable” post-pandemic recovery and cited its development and investment potential.
None of this comes as a surprise to those who keep the market percolating. And it was evident in the overwhelming number of nominations D CEO received this year for its annual Commercial Real Estate Awards program.
New Industrial Project
Dick’s Sporting Goods developed by Hillwood
Hillwood is bringing another Fortune 500 company to Fort Worth; the developer kicked off construction last September on an 800,000-square-foot national distribution center for DICK’s Sporting Goods. A centerpiece of its Risinger/35 Logistics Park, the facility will include state-of-the-art tech and sustainability features, including environmentally friendly construction materials, energy management systems, and recycling for corrugate and plastics. It will also include a “football end zone” break area for employees and sports-themed conference rooms, as well as a bricked entryway as an homage to the Fort Worth Stockyards. Hillwood had long held land at the location, waiting for a customer like DICK’s to help spark growth in the area. The project is slated for a 2026 open and is expected to bring 300 new full-time jobs to the area. Brokers from JLL and Hillwood put the deal together.
