A New Jersey logistics firm that just did a big distribution deal in southern Dallas County is gearing up for another project.
NFI Industries landed a major tenant for its building at 9890 Bonnie View Road this summer when consumer products firm Ocean Spray leased the space for a large shipping center.
NFI bought the 626,000-square-foot warehouse south of Interstate 20 last year.
Now the Camden-based logistics firm has filed plans with the state for an expansion of its distribution hub on Bonnie View Road.
The “NFI Dallas logistics center expansion” would total 595,044 square feet of space and cost $18 million, according to information provided to the state.
Construction on the big warehouse job will start next month with completion expected in mid-2021.
Richardson-based Alliance Architects is designing the project.
NFI has operations across the country, including several locations in North Texas.
The company has been in business since the 1930s and operates more than 50 million square feet of warehouse and distribution space across the U.S. and Canada.
The company employs more than 13,000 people.

NFI’s planned project is the latest industrial development in the works for southern Dallas County.
North Texas is one of the country’s top distribution markets with more than 30 million square feet of warehouses under construction.
