Texas Super Sites Mercer Crossing Mercer Crossing is at the demographic center of the D/FW Metroplex, located only 15-minutes from D/FW Airport, Love Field and downtown Dallas. The site is surrounded by Interstate 35, Interstate 635 and the new George W. Bush Tollway. Currently, over $1 billion is being spent on transportation infrastructure in the immediate vicinity to further improve access to the site. Mercer Crossing is also adjacent to the developing light rail system spreading throughout the Metroplex. All of these transportation options provide Mercer Crossing unparalled access. While Mercer Crossing is zoned for a variety of uses, including high-rise office, hotel, retail and high-density residential, it’s the excellent potential this site generates for an outstanding large campus-style project that earns it super site status. In a market that features many massive campus projects, Mercer Crossing stands out as the best site for another to be built in the D/FW Metro. The development plan includes pedestrian paths, green space and water features throughout the property. The site is located at the crossroads of the area’s utility arterials. All of the necessary utility connections (at nearly unlimited capacities) will be available shortly. The site is located at the hub of multiple fiber optic providers. Every telecommunication need will be provided. While this site does offer all the bells and whistles a premiere campus site should, you cannot dismiss even slightly the excellent location. Farmers Branch is just 10 minutes from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport’s north gate. Large sites like Mercer Crossing don’t exist that close to the airport in D/FW. In fact, how many 850-acre sites exist in any major market in the South that close to the airport?

Longview’s super site is within a one-hour drive on Interstate 20 from the GM plant. “We’re seeing a lot more activity in this area because of our proximity to the GM plant,” Stroud said. “These suppliers are finding our labor quality and availability to be more than sufficient. They are also discovering that Longview has long maintained a pro-business climate, one with the ability to work with companies on the fast track.” As mentioned, the 800-acre site, which is known as the “Smith Property,” is located adjacent to I-20. Access for truck traffic is excellent with this location. While rail is not at the site, a major rail line is adjacent to the property. The installation of a spur is possible. Already a significant amount of environmental studies and permitting has been completed on the site. For more information on the Smith Property, contact John Stroud at 903-753-7878.
