The company behind the 27,000-acre AllianceTexas, Fort Worth-based Hillwood Properties, is building another massive speculative industrial property in the master-planned development.<\/p>\n

The company announced Oct. 8 plans for a 1.1-million-square-foot building called Alliance Westport 24. The building will be next door to a 1.2-million-square-foot building now occupied by Georgia-based cable and wire company Southwire.<\/p>\n

Alliance Westport 24<\/a> will also be near FM 156 and the BNSF Railway Alliance Intermodal Facility. Hillwood plans to break ground this month and complete the building at the end of next year, according to the company. Hillwood is also working on a new road that will lead to the intermodal hub. <\/p>\n

Hillwood signed its largest industrial speculative space to Target Corp. in 2022, a 1.24-million-square-foot building at Alliance Center East 1. Reid Goetz, senior vice president of Hillwood overseeing industrial development, said the area has seen unprecedented demand.<\/p>\n

\”With Westport 24, Hillwood is doubling down on our industrial growth strategy within AllianceTexas and remains committed to attracting best-in-class logistics and manufacturing companies requiring facilities over 1 million square feet,\” Goetz said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Hillwood states in its announcement that the new building will include 2,700 square feet of office place, LED warehouse lighting, 3,000 amps of power and 20 full-dock packages that will allow a tenant to occupy the building after its constructed. The building will come with around 394 parking spaces and 227 trailer parking spaces, which could be expanded to 564 car parking spaces and 704 parking spaces.<\/p>\n

Roanoke, Texas-based RGA Architects is the design firm for the building and Dallas-based Westwood is the civil engineering design firm. Hillwood Construction is the general contractor.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes on the heels of the company’s announcement in May of a 766,994-square-foot high-end speculative industrial building, which is expected to be completed next June.<\/p>\n

Hillwood Properties has developed and acquired 31 million square feet of industrial space as well as 3.2 million square feet of retail and office and more than 4,000 multifamily units, according to the company. It’s part of Dallas-based Hillwood, the group of real estate companies overseen by Ross Perot Jr.<\/p>\n

Last January, LG opened its first U.S. factory for assembling EV charging stations in Fort Worth. Based in South Korea with USA headquarters in New Jersey, the company said it aimed to support the growth of America’s EV charging infrastructure while creating new local jobs.<\/p>\n

Now that goal is closer to fruition. Today LG Business Solutions USA announced that it has begun taking orders for LG’s first Level 3 DC Charger in the U.S. The new fast charger, model LG EVD175SK-PN, can be seen on the right in the photo above.<\/p>\n

LG said the charger will be assembled “starting this fall” at the company’s Fort Worth EV charging production center. The Level 3 DC Charger features dynamic load management of multiple chargers, a high resolution 24-inch LCD touch-screen display, and a liquid cooled CCS\/NACS charging cable.<\/p>\n

A stand-type model, the charger has a connected power bank that provides fast charging up to 175kW. The outdoor LCD touch-screen display can serve multiple functions for various owners and use cases, the company noted.<\/p>\n

“LG continues to invest in the global electrification movement, and the announcement of our first Level 3 DC charger demonstrates our ongoing commitment to provide our U.S. commercial customers with solutions that enable them to build out their EV vehicle charging infrastructure,” LG Business Solutions SVP Michael Kosla said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Together, our Level 2 and Level 3 chargers are creating new opportunities for businesses, municipalities, and other public places to support the electrification of America,” Kosla added, “with independently owned and operated charging stations that create new revenue streams, additional marketing and income opportunities, and differentiation with competing businesses.”<\/p>\n

LG said it employees a nationwide network of sales, customer support, and technical maintenance professionals, providing the company with what it calls “a significant advantage” over smaller EV charging firms and offering buyers peace of mind when investing in their privately-owned charging infrastructure. LG’s Level 2 AC and Level 3 DC chargers also feature LG software, enablign integration with other LG infrastructure elements including digital display networks, the company said.<\/p>\n

LG said its EV chargers are part of LG Electronics’ “broad electrification strategy,” which aims to empower customers to convert buildings to more sustainable energy usage, saving money and protecting the environment in the process.<\/p>\n
