KDC Completes Distribution Center Near Dallas
Less than a year after breaking ground, Dallas-based KDC has completed construction of a 422,000-square-foot distribution center developed for Oncor Electric Delivery Co. in Midlothian, Texas.
Oncor is Texas’ largest electricity transmission and distribution company, serving more than 13 million customers. Oncor officials said the new distribution center would help support the company’s unprecedented growth.
KDC broke ground on the project in December 2023. F.A. Peinado served as general contractor and Alliance Architects Inc. was the project’s architect.
The LEED-certified, cross-dock building has 36-foot clear heights and features a significant amount of warehouse storage space, interior offices, training rooms and a break room. The distribution center would handle about 934 vehicles per day, according to the Midlothian Mirror newspaper.

KDC worked with the city of Midlothian to rezone the site near the northwest corner of Forbes and VV Jones roads from agricultural to planned development. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the rezoning in May 2023 and the City Council signed off on the development the following month, the local newspaper reported.
The Oncor building is on U.S. Highway 67, providing easy access to interstates 45 and 35. The 60.7-acre property is about 31 miles southwest of downtown Dallas. The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is nearly 37 miles northeast.
The facility is part of the 1,700-acre Railport Business Park, which was developed as part of a public-private partnership through the Midlothian Development Authority. Other companies operating within the campus include Target, Google and QuikTrip.

KDC has developed more than 150 corporate build-to-suit office, data center and industrial projects totaling approximately 40 million square feet, including many in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro.
In April, a joint venture between KDC and Pacific Elm Properties secured a $290 million construction loan for Parkside Uptown, a 500,000-square-foot office development in Dallas. Bank of America will anchor the tower that is slated for completion in 2027.
A month earlier, KDC topped out Wells Fargo’s $455 million Project Falcon, an office campus in Irving, Texas, that will have 850,000 square feet across two buildings and be Wells Fargo’s first net-positive energy office development. Delivery is expected by late 2025.
