CURRENT EVENTS • Downtown Dallas’ largest development – the First
National Bank Tower redo – is still on schedule to reopen later this year. The $450M project is being developed by Shawn Todd, who said that the 1M SF tower will be completed by September/October. Construction crews are still working, with the recent major milestone of marble being re-applied to the building. The tower, once complete, will house the 219-room Thompson Hotel, 324 luxury apartment units, restaurants, retail, and office space.
• Plano-based Sam Moon Group announced that they are
moving forward with plans for the construction of the JW Marriott hotel at Ross and Harwood Street. Across the street from the Trammell Crow Center, the 283-room, 15-story luxury hotel is set to be built on top of the new 10-story parking garage. Construction is tentatively set to begin in July, and the hotel will take roughly two years to complete. The completion of the project will mark the first JW Marriott in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and a further investment into Dallas’ CBD.

CURRENT EVENTS • A 4.19-acre parcel of land is being marketed for sale
along Central Expressway just north of Meadow Road. The land is zoned for 20 stories and can be utilized for office, hotel, or apartment construction. Dallas architect, Omniplan, has done some preliminary designs of the various buildings that can be constructed on this desirable parcel of land. The project is situated next to the Midtown Park development which has seen tremendous apartment, hotel, and medical growth.
• In March, construction sector employment fell in almost 100 markets across the country. In a normal downturn, the construction industry is partially shielded from the beginning of an economic downturn due to their backlog of work. COVID-19, however, is different as certain activities have completely halted across the country. During March, Dallas-Fort Worth added more than 10K building jobs which was the biggest gain in the country. In year’s past, Dallas has trailed only NYC in construction market health. NYC had an almost 3,500-worker drop in construction employment.

CURRENT EVENTS
Infrastructure solutions firm, HNTB Corporation, has leased an undisclosed amount of office space in Frost Tower Fort Worth (FTFW). Stream Realty Partners’ Seth Koschak and Cullen Donohue leased the space on behalf of owner Anthracite Realty Partners. “HNTB’s expansion into Frost Tower in Fort Worth during this unusual time is a testament to the firm’s client-centric business model that has made them successful the past 100 plus years in business,” said Anthracite’s Cody Baker. The 25-story FTFW opened in 2018 in Fort Worth’s CBD. Sven Sykes, Brad Balke, Daniel Rudd and Billy Vahrenkamp of Colliers International brokered the deal on behalf of HNTB. The developer of a high-tech luxury hotel in downtown Fort Worth believes an investor wants to seize control of two valuable properties by taking advantage of the coronavirus recession. Farukh Aslam, developer of the Sinclair Hotel and the adjacent Sanger office building, accused the investor of “predatory lending” to squeeze his Sinclair Holdings out of the real estate in a court petition this week. The complex financial situation involves multiple channels of credit and investment. Essentially, JM Cox Legacy, under the name Sanger Lender, wants to purchase a $25M Simmons Bank loan that Alsam took out in 2017 to finance the purchase and renovation of the historic Sinclair building at 512 Main Street. JM Cox Legacy is a firm associated with Midlandbased oil company JM Cox Resources where TCU donor and trustee, Kelly Cox, serves as president. Sanger Lender has the right to purchase the Simmons Bank loan, however, Sanger Lender’s attorneys from Dallasbased Reese Marketos argued in a legal brief accusing Sinclair Holdings of gamesmanship. The purchase would be damaging to Sinclair Holdings, Aslam’s attorneys argued, because he believes Sanger Lender will accelerate the loan and push him into default. The action could cause him to lose control of both properties.

A couple of office/retail buildings in Fort Worth’s Historic Stockyards are receiving a face lift. KRS purchased and began renovating the two buildings in February of this year. Located at 2341 N. Main Street, the first property features 7,220 SF of divisible space and will serve as a flagship location for Austin-based western brand, Tecovas, who has leased 3,474 SF. The remaining 3,746 SF is available for lease and ideal for a restaurant, café, bar or showroom given the exceptional proximity to Tecovas, according to a Steam news release. Improvements to the property include a renovated building exterior and facade, a new patio area, which will span the full length of the building along Main Street, additional lighting along the exterior and updated landscaping. “Opening our newest store in Fort Worth not only provides us prime visibility but places the Tecovas brand within walking distance of one of the most unique and iconic destinations in North Texas,” said Paul Hedrick, Founder and CEO at Tecovas. More news from North Fort Worth’s Historic Stockyards is the development of Mule Alley and the Hotel Drover. The once unused horse and mule barns that formed Mule Alley have been gutted, refurbished, and finished out to house more than a dozen spaces for retail, dining, drinks, and offices as part of a partnership between Majestic Realty Co. and Fort Worth’s Hickman Investments. After years of planning and construction, much of the massive development project is now open or opening soon. Texas-based Lucchese Bootmaker and retail emporium MB Mercantile & Supply are already popular destinations. Local celebrity chef, Marcus Paslay, said his third restaurant, Provender Hall, is scheduled to open in Mule Alley early next month. At the southernmost end of Mule Alley is Hotel Drover which will feature 200 rooms and suites, a signature restaurant, meeting spaces, and a wedding barn starting this October.

The Fort Worth ISD Board of Education trustees approved the first sales of surplus property, identified after a yearand-a-half long strategic study of inefficient and underused district facilities. The three properties will net a total of $11,514,180 which includes The Fort Worth ISD Professional Development Center at 3150 McCart Avenue, 840 Cooks Lane, and 3 acres at 168 Northwest Corner of Wichita Street and I-20. “This is the initial phase of the sale of outdated, inefficient facilities that no longer serve the needs of our children or educators,” said Superintendent Kent P. Scribner. “Their sale can and will support a brighter future for public education in Fort Worth. Our goal is to do the right thing for both our students and our taxpayers.” The facility, located at 3510 McCart Avenue, now functions as the District’s Professional Development Center. Employees who work there and students who attend class there will be relocated to another facility. The other two properties approved for sale are vacant parcels of land. An increase in homes to the west of Fort Worth could substantially increase activity in Fort Worth’s West-Southwest submarket. “The Walsh development, near the Fort Worth-Aledo border, is adding 388 new homes this year,” said Seth Carpenter, vice president of development at Republic Property Group, the Walsh developer. “The activity in the neighborhood, which today is home to 1,100 people but eventually could be 50,000-strong, is an indication that demand for single-family housing is still high in North Texas. Real estate professionals at Walsh haven’t noticed a decrease in the number of prospective buyers visiting the west Fort Worth development in recent weeks.”
a developer and landlord, Trident is not only surviving the coronavirus pandemic but they are thriving. “It’s a real testament to the community and people of Fort Worth that have a vested interest in supporting and sustaining all of our businesses during this difficult time,” said Rishel. Trident’s next project in the works will be near TCU on Berry Street in the West-Southwest submarket.

• 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.

CURRENT EVENTS • Dallas-based Trammell Crow Co. has announced its
plans for a new office/retail tower in Uptown, 2401 McKinney. The current site for the development is two acres on McKinney Avenue between Maple and Fairmount, currently occupied by Truluck’s and Gold’s Gym. The building plans call for 670K SF of office and 15K SF of retail. Crow Co plans to start construction 1Q 2021 with a delivery in mid-2023.
• Cincinnati-based Law Firm, Frost Brown Todd, is
consolidating two smaller offices in Dallas into one location in Rosewood Court. The new 30K SF lease comes after the firm began operation in Dallas in 2015 and has been expanding since. Frost Brown Todd now has more than 12 locations across the country. The 30K SF deal is the second largest deal signed at Rosewood Court this year.
• The new Uptown 23Springs office tower project plans
to begin construction in 2021. The new project will be situated at the corner of Cedar Springs and Maple and will be replacing the three (3) building Cedar Maple office complex. The tower will take almost three years to complete once construction begins. The office building is planned to be 623K SF and will be one of the largest new towers to be added in Dallas’ booming Uptown market. The building is being designed by GFF and will be constructed by DPR Construction. In addition to the office tower, two separate 16K SF retail buildings will be constructed on site. Amenities planned for the project include an underground parking garage, an upscale restaurant and multiple casual fast food restaurants.
