FORT WORTH, TX – (June 22, 2026) — Hillwood, developer of the 27,000-acre master-planned, mixed-use AllianceTexas development, today announced plans to develop Alliance Westport 16, a 1,214,969-square-foot Class A speculative industrial building in the Alliance Logistics District. Construction has commenced and completion is expected in July of 2027.
Alliance Westport 16 further advances Hillwood’s continued investment in AllianceTexas and the north Fort Worth corridor. With this project, Hillwood’s total industrial pipeline across AllianceTexas includes 8.2 million square feet under construction or in design, comprising 6.8 million square feet currently under construction and 1.4 million square feet in design.
Located within the Alliance Logistics District, Alliance Westport 16 will offer users direct access to one of the nation’s premier multimodal logistics hubs. The district is anchored by BNSF’s Alliance Intermodal Facility and designed to support efficient freight movement across air, rail and highway networks.
Alliance Westport 16 is being designed to enhance operational flexibility and cargo efficiency through direct intermodal connectivity. Planned capabilities include autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle operations, streamlined movement between intermodal and warehouse facilities via an enhanced heavy-haul transport corridor. A private bridge connecting the site to BNSF’s Alliance Intermodal Facility is currently under construction and expected to be completed in early 2027.
“Alliance Westport 16 continues Hillwood’s AllianceTexas strategy to continually have available, ready-to-occupy Class A speculative industrial options of all sizes,” said Samuel Rhea, vice president of Hillwood. “We’re seeing extraordinary demand for million-square-foot-plus facilities that are fully integrated with improved roadway and intermodal infrastructure, and this project delivers that capability at scale. With its location in the Alliance Logistics District connecting directly to BNSF’s Alliance Intermodal Facility via a private bridge, Alliance Westport 16 is positioned to improve speed, cost and efficiency across the supply chain.”
The project will support next-generation logistics and advanced manufacturing users, with direct access to Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport and BNSF’s Alliance Intermodal Facility. Alliance Westport 16 will also connect users to a regional cargo network that includes the FedEx Ground Hub, two UPS Ground Sort Hubs, the FedEx Express Southwest Regional Air Hub and the Amazon Air Regional Hub.
Hillwood has a strong record of delivering customer-driven solutions that allow speculative buildings to expand and adapt to meet tenant requirements while maintaining aggressive schedules. Recent examples include projects for Southwire and Wistron, as well as a specialized buildout for SGS Studios.
Located on Mobility Way in Fort Worth, Alliance Westport 16 will feature a 40-foot clear height, 620-foot building depth, 60-foot loading bays and 276 trailer parking spaces, expandable to 504 total on-site spaces. The facility will include 3,000 amps of power, with the potential for a tri-load configuration and 190-foot truck courts.
Alliance Westport 16 will also benefit from Denton County’s low tax rate and several economic incentives, including the Triple Freeport Inventory Tax Exemption and Foreign Trade Zone status within Alliance FTZ #196. The project also has access to a Centralized Examination Station and U.S. Customs and Border Protection services.
Companies located within AllianceTexas will also benefit from access to Hillwood’s workforce development and education team, which helps connect employers with regional partners, training programs and hiring resources across North Texas. Through relationships with Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County and North Central Texas, local higher education institutions, area independent school districts and the Alliance Employer Hub at Tarrant County College’s Northwest Center of Excellence, AllianceTexas companies can engage directly with workforce partners to support recruitment, hiring events, customized training opportunities and long-term talent pipeline development.
The project is designed by GSR Andrade Architects. Civil engineering services were provided by Westwood, Hillwood Construction Services will serve as the general contractor, and financing was done by Fifth Third Bank.
