Link Logistics buys 4 last-mile facilities in Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta
Link Logistics acquired 697,276 sq ft across 4 last-mile facilities in Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta, strengthening final-mile distribution density in two of the fastest-growing U.S. logistics markets. This expands Link's footprint to 500M sq ft across ~3,000 properties nationally.
Industrial real estate investment in last-mile hubs signals continued logistics infrastructure buildout, countering capacity tightness -- a modest tailwind against ongoing margin compression for sellers relying on regional fulfillment.
More last-mile warehouse capacity in DFW and Atlanta means carriers and 3PLs operating in those corridors gain more fulfillment options, which could stabilize or compress regional shipping rates over 12-24 months. Sellers shipping high volumes into Texas or Georgia markets should monitor carrier rate negotiations in 2026 Q4.

Full Coverage
Final-mile warehouse operator Link Logistics announced the acquisition of four terminals in the metropolitan areas of Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas, and Atlanta. The purchase of the Gateway Infill Growth Portfolio from Oxford Properties Group adds 697,276 square feet in two markets where it already has a large presence.
“Our acquisition strategy is focused on expanding Link Logistics’ portfolio in infill-focused locations that are supported by strong long-term demand drivers,” said Andrew Goodman, senior managing director of investments at Link Logistics.
“This portfolio reflects our continued conviction in Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta and adds well-located distribution assets in markets where we have achieved meaningful scale.” Locations in Irving and Grand Prairie, Texas, represent nearly 400,000 square feet of the acquired portfolio. A location in Suwanee, Georgia, has 249,000 square feet of space.
The deal also included a smaller site in Farmers Branch, Texas. Link Logistics now operates over 34 million square feet of space in the Dallas-Fort Worth market and more than 38 million square feet in the Atlanta area. In total, the company operates roughly 3,000 properties with 500 million square feet across North America.
“Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta continue to see strong logistics demand as population growth and business investment support durable industrial fundamentals,” said Laura Hyde, managing director of Investments at Link Logistics. JLL (NYSE: JLL) represented Oxford in the transaction. Why it matters?
Link Logistics’ acquisition of properties in Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta enhances final-mile efficiency and expands access to scaled distribution assets for supply chain operators. This investment reflects durable industrial real estate fundamentals driven by continuous population and business growth in key regional logistics corridors.
