Abstract
This study performed in-depth analysis on the factors that caused the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex to grow and become an area ripe for commercial real estate development and expansion, beginning at the conception and construction of the DFW International Airport through to present day. The focus of the study is mainly on the tangible, qualitative factors that are present, and while statistical data is included to support the claims made in the study, the main point is to research, analyze, and discuss the influences and factors that played, and continue to play, a role in the DFW commercial real estate market that cannot necessarily be quantified. Results of the study concluded that the main factors that contributed to the expansion of DFW were the construction and opening of the DFW International Airport, the major industries that expanded their operations to the metroplex, influential entrepreneurs and investors with vision who decided to invest in the area, and certain key events and advantages unique to Dallas and Fort Worth.
