Fort Worth's $275M Mixed-Use Project Reshapes Industrial, Office Markets

Fort Worth’s commercial real estate market is showing signs of momentum as the second quarter of 2026 draws to a close. A pair of July transactions-including the sale of a sprawling office campus and a significant lease on the South Freeway-underscore growing tenant appetite, while the city prepares to break ground on the $275 million Crescent Fort Worth mixed-use development.

Point 820 Campus Changes Hands

Lonpoint Realty Partners has sold the Point 820 campus, a 589,022-square-foot office complex, to S2 I in July 2026[1]. The deal, one of the larger office-asset transactions in Fort Worth this year, provides a clear signal that institutional investors see long-term value in the city’s office market despite broader national headwinds.

Meanwhile, M2G Ventures has leased 20,000 square feet at 210 South Freeway to The Greatness Factory 17, a coworking and tech-acceleration firm[2]. The lease brings additional flexible workspace to a corridor that has increasingly drawn creative and technology-oriented tenants.

Industrial Vacancy Cracks 10 Percent for First Time in 18 Months

Fort Worth’s industrial vacancy rate fell to between 8.7 percent and 8.8 percent in the second quarter of 2026, marking the first time it has dipped below 10 percent in a year and a half[3]. The tightening supply points to sustained demand from logistics and distribution tenants, who continue to gravitate toward the city’s ample land and highway access.

Across the office sector, average asking rents for Class A space rose to $29.92 per square foot in the second quarter, up from $29.51 per square foot in the first quarter[4]. While the increase is modest, it reflects landlords’ confidence that quality, well-located office space will continue to command a premium.

Crescent Fort Worth Project Signals Westward Shift

The city is moving forward this year with the $275 million Crescent Fort Worth mixed-use project, which will include 168,000 square feet of office space, 175 apartments, and a 200-room hotel[5]. The development is one of the largest private investments in Fort Worth’s urban core in recent years and is expected to reshape the western edge of the central business district.

Combined, these signals point to a market that is absorbing existing inventory while developers and investors bet on continued growth. For tenants, the window for locking in favorable terms on Class A office space may narrow as vacancy declines and new supply from projects like Crescent Fort Worth comes online over the next 18 to 24 months.
