CURRENT EVENTS
Dallas developer, Jackson-Shaw, has opened a new hotel in downtown Fort Worth. The 16-story, 252-room hotel is on West Fifth Street near Sundance Square. The hotel will be the first AC Hotel by Marriott in Tarrant County. It will be managed by Crescent Hotels & Resorts. “The AC Hotel Fort Worth is designed for creative, welltraveled visionaries who appreciate a thoughtfully designed space,” Jackson-Shaw’s Joe Blewitt said in a statement. The hotel features gallery-like art installations, a library, serene outdoor space, and a bar that can also function as unconventional workspaces. The new hotel also includes a fullservice bar and a first-floor coffee shop. “Located in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, the modern lifestyle brand is a hub for guests to discover the coveted local scenes and talents, allowing them to create meaningful and authentic connections with each visit,” Blewitt said. Fort Worth’s Sundance Square has made another management change, bringing property responsibilities for the downtown development back into the fold with the Bass family. Fine Line Group, owned by Ed and Sasha Bass, is handing control of the 35-block space to a new in-house company, Sundance Square Management, LLC. However, some familiar names will be leading the new entity with Henry S. Miller III as CEO and Bill Boecker, a longtime business partner of Bass, as the new company’s President. The majority of current on-site management and leasing staff are also staying with Sundance Management. A statement from Fine Line credited HSM with helping operate through “a very challenging time” over the last year. Several restaurants and retail stores have closed.

VariSpace Southlake, a space-as-a-service offering by Coppell-based Vari, is open and has signed its first major tenant, a Fortune 50 company that moved in on January 1, 2021. This lease at VariSpace fills a long gap in occupancy for the building, as the former Vista at Solana sat empty for 11 years before Vari purchased it as its second VariSpace location. In the last year, it has been revitalized and now includes more than 30K SF of world-class amenities. VariSpace did not release the name of the tenant. Microsoft also confirmed it has signed a short term lease at 1900 West Kirkwood Boulevard, the VariSpace site. The company will be utilizing the space to accommodate current growth while it continues work on the modernization project underway at the software giant’s existing Las Colinas campus. There continues to be a lack of inventory of homes for sale in the Keller-Roanoke-Northeast Fort Worth and broader Dallas-Fort Worth areas, according to Lily Moore Realty in Westlake. “Despite the low level of inventory, North Texas home sales were up 16% year over year,” Lily Moore said about the month of July. “A number of factors have contributed to the increase in home sales. Buyers can currently take advantage of low interest rates; many buyers are looking for more space or outdoor features, such as a pool; and builders have ramped up production from spring numbers. When you have this type of market, it’s about supply and demand. As inventory goes down, prices go up. This is a fantastic time to put your home on the market at a good price.”

CURRENT EVENTS
Apart from surprise at the city’s bold move to buy the landmark Pier 1 Tower in downtown Fort Worth, reaction to the concept of the 20-story building serving as city hall has been optimistic with city officials and real estate experts calling it a “win-win” for both taxpayers and commercial real estate in the business district. City Manager David Cooke and Mayor Betsy Price announced December 2, 2020 the city’s intention to buy the iconic tower at 100 Energy Way pending City Council approval on December 15, 2020 and sale closure on February 1, 2021. A purchase price has not been made public but the property is worth $71M according to the Tarrant Appraisal District. With renovations, Cooke said the cost would come in around $100M, about half what the city had projected a new city hall would cost to build. If approved, city employees would move in by 2022. A newlybuilt city headquarters would have opened in 2028 at the earliest. City officials have promised taxes will not increase as a result of the purchase. Cooke plans to use tax notes that require a vote by City Council but do not need voter approval in a bond election. “The tax notes are typically financed for seven to 10 years,” Cooke said. “But allow flexibility for refinancing if interest rates or other factors change.”

Another hotel concept is taking shape on the vacant lots north of the Kimbell Art Museum and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in the city’s Cultural District. Fort Worth’s Crescent Real Estate filed permits in December for a 200-room “Cultural District Hotel” at the corner of Camp Bowie Boulevard and Van Cliburn Way. Both sides of Van Cliburn between West 7th and Camp Bowie are grassy lots but previous developers focused hotel speculations on the western lot. Representatives for Crescent did not return a call for comment but the filing indicates the roughly 200K SF hotel will feature a conference room, ballroom, restaurant, and a rooftop event area. Costs are estimated at a little more than $53M.

CURRENT EVENTS • While sublease square footage being marketed has
slowed recently, total inventory is still at historical levels in Dallas (~8M SF). Near the end of June, sublease inventory began to rise sharply with 1.3M SF listed in August alone. Upper Tollway has been the leader in inventory listed with some activity coming from Uptown and CBD as well. According to a report by Transwestern, 40% of the sublease inventory has a term remaining of three years or greater. • Cawley Partners is planning a new development on West Mockingbird Lane, just west of Dallas Love Field Airport. Current plans call for 150K SF of office space in a building at 2221 W. Mockingbird Lane. Construction of the four-story building is set to begin in early 2021. Dallas architect, Corgan, designed the office project which has plans to include food service facilities, fitness center, and a conference center. • Harwood International has revealed plans for its new Harwood 14 office tower. The 27-story building will be Harwood’s tallest office building to-date and is set to feature a two-story lobby, open-air “pocket gardens,” and a 17K SF rooftop garden. The ground floor will also have 16K SF of restaurants. The project will be Harwood’s ninth office tower in its Harwood district and is set to break ground this winter. • Dallas-based company, Hunt Realty, has announced that they will seek city approval for an 11-acre redevelopment on Field Street. The plan calls for high-rises including office, residential, and hotel towers as well as retail space. The high-rises will surround a 1.5-acre central park that faces the downtown skyline. Hunt Realty has owned the site for more than two decades which is currently the Northend Apartments. The entire project is expected to be completed in phases over the next 15-20 years.
