Trademark Properties
Westbend South will be located adjacent to Trademark's Westbend development.
Trademark Property Company, a mixed-use investor, developer and operator, said its 278,000-square-foot WestBend mixed-use development on University Drive in Fort Worth is at 99% occupancy.
Curated leasing has brought a unique tenant mix with new-to-the-market tenants, the first physical stores for two digitally native brands and a restaurant’s first-in-America location.
With a focus on adding new-to-the-area and diverse tenants, WestBend’s recently signed leases and new tenants include:
- Sweetgreen, a fast-casual restaurant focused on salads, is slated to open its first Fort Worth location at WestBend in Q4 of this year.
- Van Leeuwen plans to open in November, offering its tasty dairy and vegan ice cream treats at its first Fort Worth location.
- The Shade Store, a premium custom window treatment company specializing in luxury textiles and interior design, is currently under construction with an opening slated for Q4.
- Shake Shack plans to open its second Fort Worth location in Q4.
- Quince, an award-winning, global culinary experience, will open its first U.S. location at WestBend. Construction is underway with Quince slated to open in late fall.
- Rowan, a modern and innovative ear-piercing company focused on the health and safety of clients, recently opened its first Texas store at WestBend.
- Karl’s Fishing & Outdoors, which opened earlier this summer, joins johnnie-O as a digitally native brand opening its first physical store at WestBend.
These additions amount to 17,102 square feet of new leases over the past 12 months.
“One of Trademark’s values is to be extraordinary stewards by elevating places, and that is the posture we’ve taken in the evolution of WestBend,” says Trademark CEO Terry Montesi in a statement. “With an interesting tenant mix and many only-in-Fort Worth locations, we enhanced WestBend and brought a renaissance to the mixed-use development to complement Fort Worth’s already successful University District, making it a top destination in the North Texas region.”
Trademark’s mixed-use, retail and institutional services portfolio includes Galleria Dallas, Alliance Town Center in Fort Worth; Market Street — The Woodlands in The Woodlands; La Palmera Mall in Corpus Christi; Zona Rosa in Kansas City; Annapolis Town Center in Annapolis, Maryland; Bridgewater Commons in New Jersey; and North Point in Alpharetta (Atlanta).
In addition to the current portfolio, Trademark previously worked on notable projects including Victory Park and Preston Oaks in Dallas, Watters Creek in Allen, and Rice Village in Houston.
“At WestBend, we have taken great care in our merchandising effort to curate a diverse tenant mix that goes beyond typical retail and restaurant tenants,” says Daniel Goldware, Trademark senior vice president of Leasing. “This is evident by having two online brands open their first physical stores at WestBend, along with several restaurants and novel brands choosing the development for their first Texas and Fort Worth locations. The center’s new lively ambiance reflects the thought and care our team applied throughout this project.”
