The construction scene across Dallas-Fort Worth is showing impressive numbers and some key shifts as we look ahead. In the first half of 2026, Dallas topped the nation for multifamily completions, delivering 12,100 new units across 53 properties—even though the yearly volume dipped about 39% from before. At the same time, there were still 53,200 apartments under construction by late Q2, but new starts slowed to 8,300 units—down roughly 43%. That means there’s a steady pipeline of deliveries, but fewer new projects launching.
On the industrial side, Dallas-Fort Worth continued to lead, completing 14.9 million square feet across 58 properties in H1 2026, which made up around 11% of all U.S. completions. The activity isn’t letting up either: 33.7 million square feet remain under construction, and new starts reached 14.1 million square feet—slightly ahead of last year’s pace here in Dallas.
For anyone planning projects in 2027—whether you’re an investor, builder, or part of Dallas’s growing communities—it’s crucial to keep an eye on both multifamily and industrial pipelines. With 53,200 apartments and 33.7 million square feet in progress, these developments will be competing for crews and inspections.
