One of North Texas’ busiest developers is upping the ante in the race to build the biggest box.
Hillwood is starting construction on what it says will be its largest speculative warehouse project in the AllianceTexas development north of Fort Worth. The 1.24 million-square-foot industrial building is on Interstate 35W at Westport Parkway, across the highway from Alliance Airport.
Called Alliance Center East 1, the huge distribution hub is set to start construction in July.

For those of us that have been living on the SouthCoast for a while, we remember Lincoln Park as a fond memory of amusement parks that once were.
Opened in 1894, Lincoln Park was called Westport Park and Midway Park before the name “Lincoln Park” was finally decided on. It closed in 1987, bringing fun to the SouthCoast for 93 years before shutting down. The park began to decline in the 1980s, as larger theme parks like Six Flags were on the rise, and Lincoln Park just couldn’t seem to keep up.
On top of that, there was a fatal incident on their Comet rollercoaster, leading people to question the safety of the park. The final ride of the Comet was in 1987 when the train jackknifed due to a failure in the braking system. After the park closed, it experienced a total of six fires as of 2012. Since its closing, Lincoln Park has been converted into housing units.
