URBAN LOGISTICS REALTY ACQUIRES HISTORIC HARRIS RANCH IN DENTON FOR MAJOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

DALLAS (July 28, 2026) – Urban Logistics Realty, a Texas-based real estate developer, has closed on the acquisition of 53 acres of Harris Ranch in Denton, Texas. Groundbreaking is scheduled for early August with an anticipated delivery in the third quarter of 2027. Harris Ranch will be a premier master-planned business campus eventually spanning 80 acres with immediate adjacency to Interstate 35.

The acquisition of Harris Ranch will kickstart Phase I of the development, which covers 53 acres and features five best-in-class industrial buildings totaling approximately 656,007 square feet. Purposely designed to serve today's distribution, advanced manufacturing and last-mile users, Harris Ranch will combine modern logistics functionality with intentional architecture, meaningful amenities, and a strong connection to the land's history.

"We believe the best developments respect the story of the land before writing the next chapter," said Urban Logistics Realty Chief Development Officer Drew Feagin. "Harris Ranch has been part of Denton's identity for generations. Our vision is to preserve that legacy while creating a business park that reflects where the community is headed, delivering exceptional space for businesses, creating lasting jobs, and becoming a place where people are proud to work."

Strategically located adjacent to Interstate 35, just south of Loop 288, and near the convergence of I-35E and I-35W, Harris Ranch Urban District offers exceptional regional connectivity across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and the Interstate 35 trade corridor. Combined with planned infrastructure improvements and one of North Texas' strongest labor markets, the development is positioned to become a premier destination for next-generation industrial users.

Harris Ranch has long been a familiar part of the Denton landscape and holds a special place in the community's story. As the property enters its next chapter, Urban Logistics Realty is committed to creating a development that respects its identity and reflects Denton's character through thoughtful design, quality architecture, meaningful open spaces, and lasting placemaking.

Harris Ranch Urban District is being planned with the belief that industrial development can contribute more than buildings alone. By creating an environment that is intentionally designed for the people who work there and thoughtfully integrated into its surroundings, the project aims to establish a business campus that feels connected to the community and worthy of the Harris Ranch name. Additional project details, including the site plan, tenant opportunities, and leasing information, are available at harrisranchdenton.com.

Urban Logistics Realty and a real estate fund advised by Crow Holdings Capital have formed a Joint Venture to develop Harris Ranch, with construction financing provided by First United Bank. Additional project partners include Holt Lunsford as the leasing agent, GSR Andrade Architects as the architect, Kimley Horn as the engineer, and Bratjen Construction as the general contractor.
