The Best Industrial & Warehouse Office Space in the Dallas Area
A tour of eight Dallas-area neighborhoods worth considering for industrial and warehouse office space, from the Stemmons Corridor to Plano.
Is your startup or small business ready to move out of the garage and into some real space? If so, where do you look? Which areas are best for your business, your customers, your employees, and you? Here's a tour of eight Dallas-area neighborhoods worth considering for industrial and warehouse office space.
The Stemmons Corridor offers the widest variety of older, highly accessible warehouse space. Addison and Richardson lean toward flex office space over pure warehouse. Garland is the most economical option. Plano and Las Colinas/Irving offer the newest construction, reflecting their status as major corporate relocation hubs. Choosing the right neighborhood depends on your specific mix of space type, budget, and access needs.
The Stemmons Corridor
Just northwest of downtown along I-35E (Stemmons Freeway), this heavy industrial and commercial corridor is genuinely one of the most congested freeways in the country — but also one of the widest, with 16 high-speed and access lanes. If you're expecting heavy order and delivery volume, this remains a strong location.
What you'll see: A wide variety of space options, mostly older properties, mostly very accessible, and a range of dock heights and grade levels.
Addison
Addison is also a genuinely great place to live and play — close to 200 restaurants call it home — with over 12 million square feet of office space and a vibrant, friendly energy well suited to a startup.
What you'll see: Plenty of nearby apartments and homes for employees, more flex office options than serious warehouse space, half-office/half-showroom configurations, and a mix of old and new properties.
Carrollton/Farmers Branch
About 20 miles north of downtown and central to much of DFW, Carrollton is a vibrant corporate and residential community with over 9,000 businesses. Like Addison, Farmers Branch offers a genuine mix of food, entertainment, and services — but with meaningfully more commercial space options.
What you'll see: A genuine variety of industrial and warehouse space, newer construction than areas closer to downtown, more dock height options, and more spaces offering 3-6 private offices.
Richardson
Home to UT Dallas and roughly 5,000 businesses, Richardson is an affluent suburb north of Dallas anchoring a genuine concentration of major telecommunications employers (AT&T, DIRECTV, Verizon, Samsung, Texas Instruments) alongside significant insurance-sector presence (Blue Cross Blue Shield, GEICO, State Farm).
What you'll see: Plenty of flex office space, large warehouse options, and some new construction, mostly large-format.
Garland
A few miles northeast of Dallas, Garland has long stood out as one of the more economical options for corporate space in DFW, with a historical downtown and easy access to Lake Ray Hubbard for outdoor recreation.
What you'll see: More economical space options overall, a mix of older small industrial spaces and big-box product, and fewer flex office options than neighboring cities.
Las Colinas/Irving
Home to numerous Fortune 500 companies, Las Colinas (in Irving) was one of the first master-planned developments in the U.S. and once the largest mixed-use development in the Southwest. Major freeways (SH 183, LBJ/I-635, SH 114, the President George Bush Turnpike) run directly through it, and part of DFW International Airport sits inside city limits, making it genuinely strong for moving goods and people alike.
What you'll see: Newer construction, a genuine mix of industrial and warehouse space types, a real presence of flex space, and a mix of dock heights and grade levels.
Plano
With Toyota's North American headquarters and Liberty Mutual among its major corporate residents, Plano has become one of the country's go-to corporate headquarters cities — meaning world-class business parks, strong infrastructure, and a genuinely healthy inventory of office, flex, and industrial space, all just north of Dallas with major freeway access.
What you'll see: More new construction options, slightly higher pricing than Las Colinas/Irving, a good mix of warehouse and flex office space, and significant entertainment, restaurant, hotel, and residential development nearby.
Lewisville
With a genuine mix of corporate headquarters, plenty of warehouse inventory, and around 100,000 residents, Lewisville is a thriving lakeside community — its location has made it one of the top markets in the nation for boat sales.
What you'll see: Plenty of dock-height warehouses, especially along I-35E/Stemmons, a genuine share of newer properties, a mix of flex office space, and lower-end industrial metal buildings in Old Town.
