Regional Vice President
Brasfield & Gorrie

Weeks foresees “renewed optimism with a healthy side of caution, paired with a nice full-bodied blend of opportunity and volatility” for the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area in 2022.

“Fueled by continued corporate relocations, DFW is waving its banner as the pro-business place to be. The metroplex will welcome all those looking to hustle,” he says. “Homebuilders having a heyday aside, it’s mostly an up market in DFW, though a few market sectors are down.”

With the ongoing pandemic, the commercial office and hospitality sectors are recovering slower than other sectors, Weeks says. “Although there’s no shortage of good ideas, the traditional commercial market sector is seeing fewer projects make it to the starting line. Multifamily continues to perform well with the general influx of relocations and high home prices,” he says. 

“Industrial and manufacturing work remain hot and are testing the limits of material and labor availability,” Weeks adds. “Market sectors such as health care, life sciences, data centers and education remain steady in an effort to support the region’s impressive growth.”
