1100 South Interstate 45, Wilmer, TX 75132

The 26.46 acres at the SWC of the 1-45 / Mars Road interchange is 5 miles south of Interstate 20, and 14 miles south of the Dallas CBD. North and south exits from 1-45 feed directly to Mars Road. The property is less than 2 miles from the International Inland Port of Dallas (IIPOD), and only 3.7 miles from the Lancaster Airport. Dallas County records show no evidence of previous structures on the property.

This high-visibility site is ideally suited for commercial development. City administrators believe there is great potential for a variety of service providers to meet the needs of the dozens of surrounding employment centers. They are confident demand exists for one or two QSRs and a branded restaurant offering table service. The working population within 3 miles is over 4,000, including over 500 on 12-hour night shifts.

Four new major distribution centers are less than a mile away to the north and west. Whirlpool, P&G, Porta-cool, and USA Wheel & Tire are automated yet employ over 700 full-time workers. Many of these have 12-hour shifts, rotating 3 and 4 days per week. The P&G facility is out of parking and now shuttles employees to and from neighboring lots. A very large Walmart frozen foods distribution center, west on Beltline, was completed a year ago. Other similar facilities are under construction in the immediate area.

Daily traffic hubs nearby include three large car auction operations. There are a dozen large (600,000 SF+) distribution centers within 3 miles (10 minutes), north of the property. More are under construction to the west. A comprehensive list, including full-time employee counts, is available on request.

The site topography shows drainage is excellent. The SEC of the property, near the service road, measures 469' ASL. The NWC is 462,' the lowest point, making it an ideal location for regional detention. The City Engineer has determined that a sewer capacity study* would be required to assure service using the existing line at Mars and Miller's Ferry. A new 12" sewer line is planned beginning at the east end of Lavender Road and connecting with a private trunk line now in design development.
