Strategic land transfer continues Hunt family’s multi-decade vision for economic growth across North Texas
Dallas, TX – July 29, 2025 – Today, Hunt Realty Investments announced the sale of 120 acres in Terrell, Texas, a growing community east of Dallas, for the development of an international distribution center. The transaction marks a pivotal moment in Hunt’s long-term vision for the region and represents one of the most significant industrial land sales in the area’s recent history.
Advancing construction is underway and will bring transformative infrastructure improvements, attract ancillary development, and generate sustained economic momentum for Terrell and the broader Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Building on 50 years of community investment across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, the land, part of a larger 2,500-acre holding, has been thoughtfully stewarded across generations with a deliberate, future-focused outlook. Known for its long-lead strategic approach to land use and regional planning, Hunt Realty Investments sees this transaction as a catalytic moment for unlocking the broader development potential of the Terrell area.
“Our family has long believed in the power of economic growth to strengthen communities, and we’ve recognized the potential of this land in Terrell for decades,” said Chris Kleinert, CEO of Hunt Realty Investments. “This milestone transaction represents a historic chapter for both our legacy landholdings and the Terrell community. It’s a powerful step forward in advancing regional economic development, made possible through our partnership with the City of Terrell. We’re proud to support the creation of a critical logistics hub that will drive long-term opportunity and growth for the area.”
This development in the city of Terrell validates the region’s logistical and geographic advantages, with access to a large network of major highways and multiple airports. The new facility is expected to expand local job opportunities and embolden the economic health of the area.
“We look forward to bringing this project into our corporate community”, said Mayor of Terrell, Rick Carmona. “We anticipate this will be a fruitful investment for both Hunt Realty, business partners, and the City of Terrell. The construction of this new facility is projected to bring numerous employment opportunities for our residents. With our priorities of economic growth and job creation, this project will assist the City of Terrell in our goal of building a live-work-play community.”
