Hillwood announced today that Joby Aviation has signed a lease for 45,000 square feet at Alliance Air Trade Center in Haslet, part of Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport.
“Located within Hillwood’s 27,000-acre AllianceTexas development, the leased space marks the first significant North Texas presence by an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturer and strengthens the region’s growing role in advanced air mobility,” according to a joint press release.
“I first visited Perot Field two decades ago, and it was clear even back then that this airport would grow into a cornerstone of aviation for the region,” said Greg Bowles, Joby Aviation’s Chief Policy Officer. “Establishing a presence in Texas puts Joby in one of the most exciting markets in the country. This site gives us a base to demonstrate the value of air mobility services across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the state. Texas is showing strong leadership in advanced air mobility, thanks to partners like Hillwood, TxDOT and NCTCOG, and we look forward to working with them to bring that vision to life as we begin flights under the eIPP program.”
The location connects the company with AllianceTexas’ multimodal transportation infrastructure, skilled regional workforce and network of public- and private-sector partners focused on advancing mobility innovation. Perot Field is an industrial airport purpose-built for cargo and corporate aviation and serves as the aviation cornerstone of AllianceTexas. The airport is also a central component of the AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone, a public-private ecosystem that brings together industry innovators, policymakers and infrastructure partners to advance technologies across air and surface mobility.
