Empire Holdings

What Empire Holdings does

Empire Holdings is a privately-held commercial real estate development company headquartered at 4925 Kaltenbrun Road, Fort Worth, Texas. The company develops, owns, and leases single-tenant, build-to-suit industrial properties with a primary focus on the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. Empire Holdings has cumulatively developed 85+ properties totaling more than 1,100,000 square feet across 230+ acres in markets including Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Atlanta, Miami, Memphis, and Tulsa, though current development has re-concentrated on the southeast Fort Worth industrial growth corridor near Loop 820.

The company's product portfolio centers on three offerings: Sun Valley Industrial Park (a mature business park developed over the past decade with state-of-the-art flex spaces and single-tenant properties); Campus Industrial Park (a 12.14-acre master-planned industrial campus launched in 2024 with approximately 150,538 SF of available space under construction at 2200-2300 SE Loop 820); and an end-to-end build-to-suit service covering site selection, user-focused design, and construction management. Technical features include Cat 6 wiring, fiber-optic infrastructure, LED lighting, oversized dock doors, wide turn radii, EV-charger-ready parking, native biodiverse landscaping, solar-powered lighting, and properties that are 50%+ more efficient in water and electricity use versus 10-year-old baselines.

Empire Holdings monetizes primarily through long-term commercial leases (subscription/recurring rental revenue) with credit tenants and development/lease arrangements under build-to-suit engagements (professional-services fees). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company serves enterprise tenants (Honeywell/ADI Global Distribution, Rolls-Royce, Kiewit, TW Metals, Mazzella Companies, Astro Pak, Centralized Wastewater Texas, Marand Precision Engineering, Fonroche Lighting America, FLIR, Dish) and mid-market industrial users (1836 Engineering, SurvWest, A&G Piping, STAline, Synergy, Cali-Raised LED) across aerospace, manufacturing, construction, telecommunications, water treatment, HVAC, security distribution, and other industrial verticals. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with multi-broker channel relationships (NAI Robert Lynn, CBRE, Williams Trew, Citadel Partners, Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services) and civic partnerships (Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership).
