Industrial Tenant Representation in DFW — Leases the landlord didn't want you to sign.
Craft Commercial represents tenants — and only tenants. No landlord listings. No split loyalties. We negotiate industrial, warehouse, and flex space across North Texas so your real estate works as hard as your business does.
Your broker shouldn't also be the landlord's broker.
Most CRE firms list buildings for landlords and represent tenants. That conflict is everywhere in DFW industrial. We chose not to play that game — so we never sit on both sides of the table.
Site selection
We tour the entire qualified market, not just the buildings paying us a co-op fee. You see options other tenants never hear about.
Lease negotiation
Base rent is just the start. We fight for free rent, TI dollars, expansion rights, op-ex caps, and exit ramps — the terms that compound over a 7-year lease.
Lease audit
Already in a building? We audit operating expense pass-throughs and CAM reconciliations. Most overcharges are buried in line items tenants never review.
Renewals & relocations
The single biggest landlord leverage point: assuming you won't shop the market. We make sure you do — quietly — and use real comps to drive the renewal.
Build-to-suit
Spec product doesn't fit every operation. We structure BTS deals with developers — clear racking, ceiling heights, dock counts, power — built around your workflow.
Portfolio & multi-market
One operator. Multiple buildings. We run a single playbook across all your locations so terms are consistent — and you don't get whipsawed by local brokers.
Data center site selection and tenant representation — statewide across Texas.
Colocation, wholesale, and powered shell — DFW, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and beyond. Same tenant-only rule applies — we never represent the operator or the developer. Power reservation, redundancy, interconnection, and SLA terms, negotiated the way we negotiate every other lease term: on your side of the table.
Explore data center representation →A disciplined process — not a tour-and-pray sales pitch.
Every engagement runs through the same four phases, whether it's 8,000 SF or 800,000.
Define
Operations workshop. Volumes, growth assumptions, throughput, racking, power, labor draw. We translate the business into a real estate brief — before touring a single building.
Survey
Comprehensive market sweep — every qualified building in your radius, on- and off-market. We deliver a comparison matrix, not just a tour list.
Negotiate
Competitive RFP from a short list. We pit landlords against each other on every meaningful term, not just rent. Letters of intent traded in parallel.
Close & protect
Lease document review with your counsel. We flag every operational risk: HVAC, roof, expansion, assignment, surrender. Then we stay on your file post-closing.
They saved us $1.4M over the term and — more importantly — talked us out of two buildings we were emotionally ready to sign. That's the part you can't get from a landlord-listing broker.
