Mike Berry’s track record is synonymous with the success and development of North Texas real estate. Beginning in 1988 with the groundbreaking of the Alliance Airport, Mike helped transform the region that was once raw ranch land north of Fort Worth into AllianceTexas—the 27,000-acre, master-planned community and global logistics hub. Mike also formed and now leads the efforts at the Mobility Innovation Zone (MIZ), leveraging the unique ecosystem built at AllianceTexas to push innovation in surface and air mobility to the commercialization phase.
Mike also heads the Hillwood Urban team—specializing in corporate office and mixed-use development in an urban setting and investment and development opportunities throughout North Texas. Mike’s versatile background and success in master-planned development led to Hillwood’s partnership in developing Frisco Station, a 242-acre, high-density, mixed-use community located in Frisco, Texas, along the Dallas North Tollway.
Mike has earned numerous honors throughout his career, including his induction into the North Texas Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame and the Fort Worth Business Hall of Fame. He was also recognized by his peers and awarded the Fort Worth Golden Deeds Award, the Greater Fort Worth Real Estate Council Founders Award, and the Distinguished Citizen's Award by the Boy Scouts of America. Mike is a Fort Worth native and resides in his hometown with his wife, Marilyn.
