A World of Transportation
A location that provides cost-effective transportation options is critical to operational efficiency and bottom-line performance. With intermodal, rail, air and interstate access, the sophisticated multi-modal transportation program at Alliance offers instant access to the following:
Alliance Intermodal Facility - One of the nation's largest intermodal hubs, BNSF Railway's Alliance Intermodal Facility integrates direct rail, truck and transload services with distribution and warehousing within close proximity of one another and to one or more blocks of developable land for distribution centers. This creates the density needed to build one train, rather than several groups of rail cars. Shippers benefit from more reliable and consistent service with a reduction in operational costs;
Rail - Two Class I rail lines, Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF Railway, border the development to the east and west. Rail-served facilities are available from both lines;
Fort Worth Alliance Airport - The world's first industrial airport features 24 / 7 / 365 operations controlled by the Federal Aviation Administration and parallel runways with Category III ILS instrument approach systems that allow all types of commercial transport and corporate aircraft to access global markets. Construction on the runway extension to 13,000 feet is underway;
Interstate Highway 35W - Extending from Canada to Mexico, the NAFTA Superhighway bisects Alliance and connects to two state highways within less than five minutes from the development;
FedEx Southwest Regional Sort Hub - The facility is the only fully-automated hub in the FedEx system and features late night drops for Alliance customers as well as the ability to feed product directly into the system;
Alliance Air Trade Center - With 99,000 SF available in Phase I, this multi-tentant facility offers cross-dock capabilities and direct taxiway access;
U.S. Customs Clearance and Centralized Examination Station - Companies can eliminate additional drayage costs and improve efficiency in the supply chain by utilizing on-site US Customs services at Alliance;
Proximity to DFW Airport - Located within 15 to 20 minutes of DFW Airport, passenger service to anywhere in the world is readily available; and
Central U.S. Location - Access more domestic destinations in reduced time from a central location; central time zone provides additional hours for conducting business across the nation.
