“We’re proud that Samsung is our first customer at our state-of-the-art Fort Worth Logistics Hub,” said Josh Meredith, director of development at VanTrust, in a statement. “Besides its central location, access to Interstate 35W and global connectivity through Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the Fort Worth Logistics Hub is a part of the most diverse economy in Texas with access to one of the largest workforce pools in the U.S. Samsung has secured several locations in the Fort Worth area, and Fort Worth Logistics Hub presented an excellent opportunity to grow in the region.”
VanTrust’s 75-acre Fort Worth Logistics Hub consists of 1.3 million square feet in two buildings. The development is strategically located on the west side of the I-35W and Risinger Road interchange.
VanTrust acquires and develops real estate assets for the Van Tuyl family portfolio. Its product types include office, industrial, multifamily, retail, and hospitality.
