What Garland is like to build in
The President George Bush Turnpike and Interstate 30 carry the industrial corridors, with a long-established manufacturing base along Forest Lane and Miller Road. Firewheel is the retail side. Redevelopment sites here come with history.
Permitting
City of Garland. Industrial and flex zoning is well established here, which usually helps, though redevelopment sites bring their own review.
What the ground does
Blackland clay. Most sites are infill, so detention and drainage tie into an existing system rather than a blank field.
