In September 2026, Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services finalized 21,600 square feet of industrial tenant expansions within Fort Worth’s Blue Smoke Industrial Park. The move reflects steady growth for local operators needing to scale their industrial facilities.
Why it matters
Expanding operations in industrial corridors requires careful planning for square-footage availability, as tenant upsizing continues to tighten the supply of contiguous, functional work space.
Blue Sky Industrial Solutions and Core Collab combined for 21,600 square feet of new leasing, contributing to 141,852 square feet of total renewals and expansions managed by the firm this year. The portfolio spans 26 buildings totaling 621,339 square feet across the park properties.
The players
Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services
A commercial real estate firm that manages and leases industrial properties throughout the region.
Blue Sky Industrial Solutions LLC
An industrial tenant that recently expanded its footprint by 3,600 square feet.
Core Collab
An industrial tenant that doubled its operational space by relocating within the park.
The details
Blue Sky Industrial Solutions LLC increased its footprint by 3,600 square feet, moving into four contiguous suites at 2613-2619 Ludelle St. Simultaneously, Core Collab doubled its total occupancy to 7,200 square feet by relocating to a larger suite at 2609 Ludelle St. Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services is now preparing to increase availability further, with 10 new make-ready suites ranging from 1,800 to 18,000 square feet scheduled to launch.
Timeline
Bradford completed 141,852 square feet of renewals and expansions throughout 2026.
Ten make-ready suites become available on October 1, 2026.
Market Landscape
This activity aligns with the 2026 industrial property renewal and expansion cycle in Tarrant County. The shift underscores a broader trend of existing tenants prioritizing contiguous growth within established industrial parks over relocation to new developments.
Operators currently scouting space should monitor the upcoming October 1 release of 10 make-ready suites to secure inventory before vacancy rates tighten further. Businesses anticipating growth in 2027 should begin audit processes now to assess whether their current landlords can accommodate expansion.
The takeaway
Rapidly growing companies often face limited options for contiguous expansion, making early communication with property managers essential. Identify your square-footage needs for 2027 today to ensure you have the necessary lead time for site adjustments or relocation planning.
What happens next
The landlord is scheduled to bring 10 additional make-ready suites on line on October 1, 2026.
