GUNTER — BNSF Railway has broken ground on the Logistics Center North Dallas, a massive 944-acre industrial development in Gunter. This multi-commodity hub is designed to streamline the supply chain for the rapidly expanding North Dallas region by providing direct rail access to industrial tenants.
For the construction and development community, the project offers a significant advantage:
- Speed to market: BNSF provides “ready-to-build” sites with pre-approved zoning and infrastructure, which can reduce a developer’s timeline by nine to 12 months.
- Scope: The center will support a variety of industries, including warehouse distribution, manufacturing, and heavy industrial use.
- Infrastructure: The project involves extensive new rail siding and heavy-duty internal roadway construction to support high-volume freight movement.
