Grand Prairie addition: Avera 345,000-SF distribution center

GRAND PRAIRIE – Work is set to begin on a 345,150-sf distribution center at the northwest corner of SH 161 and January Lane.

Houston-based developer Avera Cos. will develop the project, called Park 161, on nearly 19 acres within 12 miles of DFW International Airport, with access to I-20 and I-30.

Park 161 reflects Avera’s continued expansion within Dallas-Fort Worth. Avera owns more than 800,000 sf of space in North Texas.

Avera isn’t the only developer looking to build more distribution space in North Texas. In 2014, DFW developers had upwards of 20 million sf of distribution and industrial space under construction to appease tenants.
