Tyson Workers Face Uncertainty: Operations Shift to Lineage Logistics

Fort Worth’s Business Park Expansion: Majestic and Hickman Team Up with NFI

Update Renewing Fort Worth: Exciting Developments at South Business Park In a significant stride towards economic enhancement, Majestic Realty Co. and Hickman Companies, operating under the NFI name, have entered into a long-term leasing agreement with National Distribution Centers. This partnership at the Fort Worth South Business Park, a sprawling 320-acre, master-planned development located just south of the I-20 and I-35 interchange, marks a pivotal moment for the region. The NFI deal allows the logistics giant to utilize 129,143 square feet of the recently developed Building No. 5, which boasts modern distribution capabilities complemented by impressive features such as a 40-foot clear height. This specification is particularly critical for meeting storage and logistical needs, reflecting the infrastructure's readiness to support the growing demands of businesses like NFI. Building Community Connections: Local Business Growth Since 2018, Majestic Realty and Hickman Companies have already completed an impressive 2.65 million square feet across eight properties in the park. This proactive approach underscores their commitment to fostering growth in Fort Worth. As Will Carney from Majestic states, the partnership aims to stay ahead of market demands, ensuring that they provide the size and amenities high-credit tenants seek. This commitment not only revitalizes the local economy but also sets a positive precedent for future developments in Fort Worth. With NFI among the nation's top logistics providers now calling Fort Worth home, we can expect a ripple effect that will benefit various sectors, ranging from warehousing to local service industries. Beyond Business: Renovation and New Ventures Complementing this robust business growth, Coury Hospitality has announced ambitious updates for its hotel properties in the area. Specifically, the Ricardo DFW Westlake Marriott will soon receive an $18 million renovation, poised to elevate guest experiences. Furthermore, the Southlake Hotel will transition to The Elmore Hotel, a proud addition to the Tribute Portfolio by Marriott, thus expanding its unique offerings to travelers. In addition to these hotel renovations, there’s excitement bubbling in Fort Worth’s social scene. Business partners Brian Torres and Chandon Sanders recently opened River’s Cocktail & Wine Bar in the River District. This new spot is a family-inspired venture for Torres, named after his son, reinforcing local connections through community-driven businesses.
