InterFace Panel: Manufacturing Represents Bright Spot in Overbuilt DFW Industrial Market

by Taylor Williams November 18, 2025

By Taylor Williams Although the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) industrial market is, objectively speaking, currently overbuilt, the recovery and return to healthy dynamics is already taking shape. As that unfolds, manufacturing facilities are having a moment. According to CBRE’s third-quarter data, between 2021 and 2023 — the height of the post-COVID e-commerce craze that coincided with the last days of historically low interest rates — developers in DFW added nearly 130 million square feet of new industrial product. The supply boom mostly involved warehouse and distribution facilities, and absorption of new deliveries was coming along until this spring, when Liberation Day injected a staggering dose of economic uncertainty into the market. In recent weeks, leasing activity has begun to pick back up. But investors looking to deploy capital into industrial assets see more upside on deals for manufacturing facilities at the moment, whether that means buying existing plants with heavy built-in power sources or targeting distribution buildings that can support manufacturing through light conversions.

Capital Returns as 2025 Signals a Market Reset

by Sarah Daniels November 18, 2025

By Patrick McGlohn, senior managing director, Berkadia After two years of caution and recalibration, capital is flowing back into commercial real estate. The bid-ask gap between buyers and sellers is narrowing, underwriting assumptions are stabilizing and both equity and debt investors are once again finding common ground. At Berkadia, we’re seeing equity move from the sidelines to the playing field, selectively, but decisively. Equity’s Comeback: Selective, but Strong Private equity and institutional investors are increasingly re-entering the market, with activity strongest in the “Smile States,” stretching from Northern Virginia to the western states and extending into major cities like Chicago. Much of the capital is chasing value-add and opportunistic plays rather than core, stabilized assets. Over the past couple of years, many equity investors would only touch preferred equity because of valuation uncertainty, but now we’re seeing common equity return in a meaningful way. The change reflects both greater pricing clarity and a collective sense that the bottom of the market cycle has passed. Navigating the Wall of Maturities The looming wall of debt maturities remains a defining storyline for 2025 and beyond. Nearly $950 billion in commercial mortgages matured in 2025 — roughly 20 percent of all outstanding commercial …
