Direct peers

• CenterPoint Properties: CenterPoint specializes in intermodal-anchored industrial parks adjacent to major Class I rail facilities, similar to AllianceTexas's BNSF intermodal campus. Its focus on rail-served logistics developments with significant acreage makes it one of the closest direct peers in business model and customer base.
• Howard Hughes Holdings: Howard Hughes Holdings develops and operates large master-planned communities including The Woodlands and Summerlin, with mixed-use industrial, office, retail, and residential components. It is one of the closest direct peers to AllianceTexas in master-planned mixed-use development model at scale.
• Panattoni Development Company: Panattoni is one of the largest privately-held industrial real estate developers in the U.S., with major logistics campuses in DFW and other Sun Belt markets. It directly competes with AllianceTexas/Hillwood for large enterprise logistics tenants and build-to-suit developments in the same DFW submarket.
• Hillwood (parent): Hillwood is AllianceTexas's developer and operator, but also runs other master-planned logistics and mixed-use developments (e.g., AllianceFlorida, AllianceCalifornia). As the operating platform, Hillwood provides the closest comparable in business model, asset class, and tenant strategy even though AllianceTexas is its flagship asset.

Regional players

• Sealy & Company: Sealy & Company is a Texas-focused industrial developer and investor with deep DFW and Sun Belt logistics holdings. Comparable to AllianceTexas for industrial build-to-suit and bulk logistics leasing, though without the airport and FTZ infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Prologis: Prologis is the world's largest industrial REIT with over 1B sq ft of logistics real estate globally, including major DFW holdings. It is comparable to AllianceTexas as the dominant institutional owner/operator of large-format logistics real estate serving Amazon, FedEx, and UPS, but operates as a diversified multi-market REIT rather than a single master-planned development.
• EastGroup Properties: EastGroup is a Sun Belt-focused industrial REIT with deep DFW exposure, developing and owning multi-tenant logistics facilities similar to AllianceTexas's industrial parks. It is comparable as a regional industrial operator in the same growth corridor though without the airport and FTZ infrastructure.
• DCT Industrial Trust (now part of Prologis): DCT Industrial was a major DFW-anchored industrial REIT that Prologis acquired in 2018. Pre-acquisition, it served many of the same large logistics tenants as AllianceTexas in the same metroplex and remains a relevant comparable for Sun Belt bulk logistics economics.
• First Industrial Realty Trust: First Industrial is a diversified industrial REIT with significant DFW and Sun Belt holdings serving distribution and logistics customers. Comparable to AllianceTexas as an institutional landlord of bulk logistics space serving Fortune 500 supply chain operators.
• Terreno Realty Corporation: Terreno Realty is an industrial REIT focused on infill logistics properties in six major U.S. coastal markets including DFW. It targets many of the same large enterprise logistics tenants that anchor AllianceTexas, though it operates as a portfolio of individual buildings rather than a master-planned campus.
