The concrete is dry and the hiring has started in south Fort Worth, where Hillwood Development has wrapped construction on a roughly 807,000-square-foot distribution center for DICK'S Sporting Goods. The next-generation hub sits inside Hillwood’s Risinger/35 Logistics Park and is slated to supply the retailer’s stores across Texas and neighboring states. DICK'S has already begun recruiting as it readies the building for full operations.
According to CoStar, Dallas-based Hillwood built the 807,696-square-foot facility at 10001 Old Burleson Road as a build-to-suit for the sporting goods giant. The project was first announced in August 2024 with expectations that it would generate hundreds of construction jobs, according to Hillwood.
Size, permits and timeline
State project filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation list a completion date of Sept. 25, 2025 and record the warehouse at about 794,992 square feet. County records from the Tarrant Appraisal District show DICKS MERCHANDISING & SUPPLY CHAIN INC as the primary owner of the parcel.
Jobs and hiring
DICK'S has projected the center will support roughly 300 full-time jobs over the next decade, according to its corporate announcement on DICK'S Sporting Goods. The company has begun recruiting locally, with career listings advertising a warehouse interview event at 10001 Old Burleson Road that kicked off Jan. 20, 2026 and highlights hourly roles and starting wages.
What this means for south Fort Worth
Developers and local observers say the delivery adds serious industrial muscle to a fast-growing logistics corridor on Fort Worth’s south side. The Dallas Morning News has noted that the site sits roughly nine miles south of downtown Fort Worth with quick access to Interstate 35W, a key selling point for big-box distribution users.
With the shell and site work complete, DICK'S and Hillwood are now focused on installing racking, automation and inventory systems to get product moving. Public hiring activity and industry reporting indicate operations are expected to ramp up in the weeks ahead, according to CoStar.
