WESTCHESTER, Ill. –

Insurance Auto Auctions has begun constructing IAA Fort Worth North, the company’s upcoming new branch scheduled to open in November.

The new 18,000-square-fot branch will sit on 200 acres north of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, complementing IAA branches in Grand Prairie and Wilmer, IAA said.

IAA Fort Worth North will include office, run and drive and warehouse space.

"The office space will include multiple conference rooms and offices that will be available for IAA's insurance customers to use for training claims adjusters on site," IAA explained in a news release announcing the opening.

Additionally, the new branch will incorporate enhanced sustainability practices, such as using both recycled asphalt and concrete for resurfacing and collecting water for landscaping, according to IAA.

"This expansion will provide the flexibility to respond to the growing inventory needs of current and future customers as well as offer a wider vehicle selection for buyers," IAA chief executive officer and president John Kett said. "The location will also ensure critical reserve capacity for catastrophic events."

IAA Fort Worth North is located at 11863 Harmonson Road. and when it opens for business, weekly auctions will be held on Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m.
