CURRENT EVENTS
The Guild, an Austin-based boutique hotel operator, is opening more than 60 luxury hotel suites in the top level of Thanksgiving Tower. The new hotel suites are set to open at the beginning of September. Hotel guests will utilize the office building elevators to reach the Tower Club located on the 48th floor and, from there, will take a separate elevator to get to their rooms. The rooms range in size from 600 to 1K SF and are fitted with in-unit amenities such as kitchens and laundry rooms. The Guild focuses to attract business travelers who are staying in town for an extended period of time. The Guild was founded in 2016 by Brian Carrico and Chris Herndon. Earlier this year, The Guild received more than $23M in funding backed by Maveron, Convivialite Ventures, ATX Seed Ventures, and Adam Zeplain’s Mark VC.

CURRENT EVENTS
One of Downtown Fort Worth’s signature buildings is on the market. Burnett Plaza, a 40-story, 1.M SF, class A office tower and parking garage, is being offered by Jones Lange LaSalle. The building opened in 1983 and is located at 801 Cherry Street. It is the city’s tallest building at 567 feet and was designed by Sikes, Jennings, & Kelly Architects from Houston and Fort Worth’s Geren Associates. The building received the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) 2014 International Building of the Year. The BOMA award recognizes quality in buildings and rewards excellence in building management, according to the award announcement. Burnett Plaza is owned by Dallas-based TIER REIT and managed by Behringer, according to the announcement and Tarrant Appraisal District records which indicates the firm has owned the building since 2005. Key companies in the building include Freese & Nichols, Americredit, Huckabee and Basic Energy. The tenant lineup in the building has an average remaining term of 7.9 years. The building offers in-place office rents of $25/SF plus E which is 4% below market rates of $26.00 PSF plus E, according to the JLL flyer on the building. JLL is offering an additional 1.38 acre adjacent site that could be used for development of a residential tower, hotel, or additional office parking. After nearly $7M in renovations, Winfield Place is on the market in downtown Fort Worth. And now, the 101-year-old building is revamped with innovation. Winfield Place is a 33,064 SF, threestory building that sits at 210 E 8th Street in Fort Worth. It was originally constructed in 1919 as the city’s first parking garage for what was the Winfield Hotel, according to a statement. After the renovations in 2016, the space became an open, modern office environment. But its most transformative aspect lies where you least expect it — in the elevator. Per Transwestern Real Estate Services (TRS), the exclusive sales agent for Winfield Place, the showpiece of the original building was the car lift which carried vehicles to various levels of the parking garage. That space is still an operational elevator but now it serves as a glassed-in conference or boardroom for tenants. TRS describes it as a way to have a meeting space on each floor with the press of a button.

CURRENT EVENTS
The coronavirus pandemic has stymied foot traffic in the Fort Worth Stockyards in the same way downtown has seen a dramatic drop in commerce. Both districts survive on tourism, which has taken a hit. For example, hotel occupancy rates fell to about 25% during the height of the pandemic before rebounding to around 50%, according to Visit Fort Worth. But Craig Cavileer, executive vice president of Majestic Realty Co. and Stockyards Heritage Development Co., is optimistic that Mule Alley, the much anticipated redevelopment of historic horse and mule barns south of East Exchange, will thrive. It opened in June and boasts boutique shops alongside a blend of homegrown cuisine and popular chain restaurants. “I have been impressed with the resilience of the Stockyards,” Cavileer said. “But I’m sure looking forward to the day we get everything back to normal.” Mitch Whitten, vice president of marketing and strategy for Visit Fort Worth, called Mule Alley “a shot in the arm” for the city’s economy, and “a gift,” saying that while it may seem odd to open a major development during a pandemic, the timing could not have been better. “It’s true that the Stockyards have fared better than other districts so far,” Whitten said. “While citywide hotel rates reached a high of 57% in the last weekend of August, a spot check of the Stockyards hotels earlier this summer showed some were sold out. Outside of big events at Dickies Arena or the Convention Center, the Stockyards is Fort Worth’s biggest attraction.” Plano-based developer and builder, Green Brick Partners, has teamed up with Arizona-based, Taylor Morrison Homes to plan a more than 2,500-home community in north Fort Worth. Green Brick and Taylor Morrison have bought nearly 900 acres near the U.S. Highway 287 near the Sendera Ranch community. The two firms plan to break ground in early 2021 on a new residential community named Madero.

“We are thrilled to continue expanding our presence in Fort Worth and to provide homebuyers a fantastic opportunity to live in such close proximity to attractive amenities, including Eagle Mountain Lake, while maintaining easy access to major employment centers in Fort Worth,” Jed Dolson, chief operating officer of Green Brick Partners, said in a statement. “In addition to its ideal location, Madero will feature a wealth of amenities which we are certain will set us apart from the competition.”

Origin Bank has announced the relocation of its 7th Street banking center to a new building, located at 3200 West 7th Street. Less than 1K feet from its previous location, the new banking center offers business and personal banking customers easy access to the services they need, the bank said in an announcement. “We are excited to share our new 7th Street location with our loyal Fort Worth customers,” Warrie Birdwell, North Texas president of Origin Bank, said. “Since opening in Fort Worth over 10 years ago, we have developed strong relationships with the local community. This new banking center is a celebration of our ongoing commitment to serve their needs.” Origin Bank entered the Fort Worth market in August 2009 with its original 7th Street location. The new banking center houses an experienced, knowledgeable retail team and offers banking services in Spanish courtesy of bilingual banker, Rocio Moreno. The 7th Street team is led by Celeste Vereen, banking center manager, as well asBrooke Frasier, Parker Platt, and Rocio Moreno. Plans for a new luxury hotel in Fort Worth’s Cultural District are moving forward.

The city council unanimously approved the zoning change September 16th after a roughly 30-minute discussion, including the presentation from Ellard and public comments from both supporters and neighbors in opposition.

• Texas, the nation’s most populous non-disclosure state, had
multiple record-breaking office tower sales by Price/SF in 2019. Property taxes in Texas are decided by municipality and based on values determined by appraisers. On average, Texas’ property taxes are the sixth highest with an average effective rate of 1.83%. A reform bill passed earlier this year capped year-over-year property tax increases at 3.5%, but that limit is suspended if there is a state of disaster. In NNN buildings, those property tax increases are passed along to tenants who are already struggling with the burden of COVID-19.
