What factors should businesses consider when choosing an industrial location in North Texas?

What is industrial tenant representation?
Industrial tenant representation is a real estate service for businesses seeking or occupying facilities such as warehouses, manufacturing sites, or distribution centers. A representative typically helps a tenant assess its space and operational needs, identify suitable locations, and navigate lease discussions. The service focuses on the tenant’s requirements rather than the property owner’s interests.
What is an industrial submarket?
An industrial submarket is a smaller geographic area within a broader region where industrial properties are assessed as part of a related local market. Businesses may compare submarkets based on factors such as transport connections, workforce access, and closeness to suppliers or customers. A submarket perspective can help distinguish location conditions from the features of an individual property.
Metroport Commercial Group released a Plano, Texas industrial real estate market guide examining the city’s role within the North Texas logistics system and outlining how businesses should evaluate warehouse, manufacturing, and distribution facility decisions across the region.
McKinney, Texas, United States, March 12, 2026 -- Brent Pennington, CCIM, advisor and senior vice president of Metroport Commercial Group, released a new industrial real estate market guide examining Plano, Texas as a location for businesses evaluating warehouse, manufacturing, and distribution facilities in North Texas.
The guide explains how Plano fits within the broader Dallas-Fort Worth industrial ecosystem and provides strategic insight into the factors companies should evaluate when considering industrial space in the area.

Plano is widely recognized for its corporate office base and technology employers, but the city also supports light industrial operations and specialized warehouse facilities serving businesses across Collin County and the northern Dallas suburbs.
Businesses evaluating industrial real estate often begin their search by reviewing available warehouse listings. However, successful facility decisions typically depend on understanding how a location functions within the broader logistics system, including transportation access, labor availability, and proximity to suppliers and customers.
Pennington said companies evaluating industrial locations benefit from understanding how individual North Texas submarkets operate before identifying specific properties.
“Businesses often begin their search by looking for available warehouse space in a particular city,” said Brent Pennington. “The more important question is whether the location supports the operational model of the business. Industrial real estate decisions should align with logistics, workforce access, and long-term growth.”
Plano’s location within Collin County places it near several major transportation corridors and within reach of the larger Dallas-Fort Worth industrial network. The area also connects to surrounding industrial submarkets that support distribution, light manufacturing, and regional logistics operations.
The guide outlines how companies can evaluate whether Plano aligns with their operational requirements and how the city functions within the broader North Texas industrial infrastructure.
Industrial facility decisions often involve long-term lease commitments, operational infrastructure investments, and logistics considerations that affect how businesses operate for years.
Pennington said the purpose of the market guide is to help companies evaluate industrial real estate strategically rather than simply selecting space based on availability.
“When companies understand how different industrial submarkets function, they can make location decisions that support operations rather than creating constraints later,” Pennington said.
The publication is part of a series of market intelligence resources developed by Metroport Commercial Group to help business owners evaluate industrial real estate decisions across North Texas.
