Construction of Wylie Business Center began in January 2023 and is expected to be completed December 2023. The class A 274,416-square-foot spec building will be a state-of-the-art rear-load facility featuring a 36’ clear height, 7” reinforced concrete slab, 55 dock-high doors, 185’ truck courts, 77 trailer stalls, and 154 auto parks.
Colby Everett, Director at Lovett Industrial commented, “We are excited to partner with the City of Wylie to develop Wylie Business Center and further promote business activity in the area. This project is positioned to boost logistics capabilities in Wylie and the surrounding Northeast Dallas municipalities. We look forward to delivering a first-class building, which will appeal to high-quality tenants and generate new jobs for a growing employment base.”
Strategically located along State Highway 78, Wylie Business Center is situated within the rapidly expanding northeast side of Dallas and the greater Collin, Rockwall, and Dallas Counties. Wylie Business Center stands to benefit from the submarket’s significant rent growth due to strong fundamentals. The project will include a fully improved road, Anson Parkway, multiple access points, and onsite amenities such as commercial uses to benefit both future tenants and residents.
“We’re grateful for Lovett Industrial and their team of seasoned professionals. Lovett’s stellar track record and local expertise, paired with our national presence has enabled a highly collaborative relationship for our second project together.” – Dominic DeRose | Managing Director, Cresset Partners Real Estate
