Q2 2026 Market Insight: Texas Construction & Collin County Growth
If you’re developing in North Texas right now, a few things are clear:
• Construction costs are holding in the $190–$340/SF range across DFW
• Industrial remains the most efficient at $130–$250/SF
• 55%+ of projects are now design-build to control cost and schedule
• Collin County continues to dominate—65% of retail pipeline is concentrated here
At Ashton Commercial, we’re seeing this play out in real time. Ground-up construction and interior finish-outs are moving fastest where land, infrastructure, and corporate migration are aligning—and Collin County is right at the center of it.
As costs, timelines, and delivery methods evolve, having the right construction partner early in the process matters more than ever.
If you’re planning a project or evaluating opportunities, happy to share what we’re seeing on the ground.
