The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex has been a beacon of construction growth and development in recent years. With the skyline peppered with construction cranes, it’s evident that the area is booming. As development continues to expand, it’s critical to ensure projects meet due diligence standards and protect owners through comprehensive representation. At Moran Consultants, we deliver end-to-end services that ensure project success from every angle.

Record-Breaking Construction Job Growth

According to a recent report from the Associated General Contractors, the Dallas area saw the most significant construction job growth in the United States last year. In 2023, the Dallas area added a staggering 12,300 building sector jobs, marking an 8% year-over-year increase. This surge in employment outpaced all other U.S. metro areas. On the Fort Worth side of the metroplex, an additional 2,500 construction jobs were created, further solidifying the region’s position as a leader in construction employment.

Major Construction Projects Driving Growth

Several large-scale construction projects commenced in 2023, contributing significantly to the job growth in Dallas-Fort Worth. Notably, ground was broken for the $500 million, 850,000-square-foot Wells Fargo regional office campus in Irving. Additionally, just north of downtown Dallas, work began on Goldman Sachs’ massive office complex. These projects are emblematic of the broader trend of office space and apartment construction that Dallas-Fort Worth leads in the country. These ambitious projects underscore the importance of robust construction loan monitoring and risk mitigation services to ensure timely delivery and mitigate financial risks.
