Metroport Commercial Group announced the successful representation of a growing U.S. operation of an international industrial equipment company in the lease of 12,000 square feet of industrial space at Riverbend Business Park in East Fort Worth.

The tenant required 277/480‑volt three‑phase power with sufficient amperage to operate multiple power‑intensive machines.
“For industrial users, electrical capacity is no longer a secondary consideration. It directly determines whether a building can support production, scaling, and long‑term functionality,” said Brent Pennington, CCIM, Industrial Broker at Metroport Commercial Group. “Our role is to verify those conditions early so tenants can make decisions with clarity and avoid unnecessary risk.”
Many small‑ and mid‑bay industrial buildings in Fort Worth lack this level of electrical capacity, creating potential operational delays, six‑figure retrofit costs, and extended utility lead times. Metroport Commercial Group conducted an operational diligence process to verify electrical capabilities before touring properties, eliminating buildings where power capacity could not be confirmed.
East Fort Worth was identified as the optimal submarket for the client due to its established industrial utility infrastructure, access to Loop 820, SH‑121, and I-30, proximity to DFW International Airport, and access to a skilled industrial labor base. Within this area, Riverbend Business Park offered the required electrical capacity and functional layout needed to support the tenant’s current operations and future growth.
The lease provides the tenant with verified 277/480V power, adequate amperage, and a configuration that avoids utility‑side upgrades. This allowed the company to accelerate occupancy, maintain production continuity, and preserve capital for adding equipment rather than infrastructure retrofits.
The transaction highlights the increasing importance of infrastructure‑ready industrial assets in the DFW market. For tenants, insufficient electrical capacity can limit production and increase costs. For owners, buildings with adequate power attract higher‑quality tenants and maintain stronger long‑term value.
