Commercial real estate firm Transwestern is handling the marketing of land at a southern Dallas County industrial development.

The 900-acre Sunridge Business Park in Wilmer is at Interstate 45, adjacent to Union Pacific Railroad Co.'s intermodal freight terminal.

The owners of the 5-year-old development have hired Transwestern to market more than 400 acres in the project for industrial, retail and commercial development. Transwestern's Sharon Morrison, Brant Landry and Blake Matthews will be working on the project.

Companies with operations in the business park include Unilever, Arch Chemical and Ozburn-Hessey Logistics.

Dallas-based NAI Robert Lynn Co. is opening a Fort Worth office.

The commercial real estate service firm will set up shop in downtown Fort Worth in April. Todd Hubbard will head up the operation.

Lynn already has 10 brokers working with clients in Tarrant County and "intends to grow the company's presence in Fort Worth dramatically over the next few years."

Duke Realty Corp. has leased almost 177,000 square feet of industrial space in Coppell to Intechra LLC, an information technology and asset disposition firm.

The space is in Duke's Freeport VII building at 611 S. Royal Lane. Intechra previously had operations in Carrollton.

Duke's Randy Wood negotiated the lease with Forshey Hoobler of Jones Lang LaSalle.

Well-known Dallas commercial real estate broker Lance McIlhenny has become a top officer at Case Commercial Real Estate Partners.

Case – formerly GVA Cawley – hired McIlhenny as senior managing director of Dallas Brokerage Services.

McIlhenny had been running his own commercial real estate firm, McIlhenny Real Estate Services.

Before that, he was with Jones Lang LaSalle and Staubach Co.
