A Nashville-based developer has broken ground on a $57.7 million warehouse and office project inside Fort Worth’s Walsh development, marking the company’s first foray into Texas and the opening phase of what’s planned to be a sprawling industrial park south of Interstate 20. The nearly 1 million-square-foot building, which includes 6,000 square feet of office space, is expected to be finished in the third quarter of 2027.
Construction on the project began Oct. 15, according to a state filing cited by the Fort Worth Report, which first reported the plans. Hamilton Development acquired 60 acres within the Walsh master-planned community for the site, located off Bentley Bridge Drive and Interstate 20. The building will be the first of two structures completed in what’s being called Walsh Industrial.

The building has reportedly been leased, though Hamilton Development has not disclosed who will occupy it, according to the same Fort Worth Report account. That leaves the identity of the tenant an open question for now, even as crews work toward a third-quarter 2027 completion date.
Hamilton Development, founded in 2023 by Whitfield Hamilton and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, has its CEO describing the project in personal terms. Hamilton said he was pleased and honored to work with the Walsh family on the unique site as the fast-track project began, per the Fort Worth Report’s reporting. The company is no stranger to large spec industrial builds: it broke ground on NorthPark Logistics, a 2.1 million-square-foot industrial park in Clarksville, Tennessee, where a 200-acre site is slated to eventually hold 14 buildings, with a first phase of four buildings totaling nearly 550,000 square feet, according to REBusinessOnline.
A Long-Planned Piece of Walsh
The Walsh development team has focused on creating an industrial park south of Interstate 20 for years, the Fort Worth Report’s reporting notes. The broader Walsh community spans 7,500 acres, with 2,500 acres set aside as designated office and industrial space. At full build-out, Walsh Industrial is expected to encompass more than 20 million square feet of industrial space…
