MESQUITE, TEXAS — The City of Mesquite, located east of Dallas, has approved a change in zoning for the development of Urban District 30, an 80-acre industrial park that will be located near Interstate 30 and Republic Parkway. The project, which will be built on spec by Urban Logistics Realty, will ultimately encompass more than 979,000 square feet of industrial space across five buildings. The developer also expects that the project, which carries a $71 million price tag, will generate more than 500 new jobs in Mesquite. Discussions for economic incentives between the developer and the city’s economic development department are still ongoing, but both sides hope to be able to break ground before the end of the year.
