Dallas-based DBA Commercial Real Estate\u2019s Austin Schenkel and Emmy Kate Barr are leading leasing efforts for The Shed, the first food, beverage and entertainment component within Westside Village that will repurpose an existing building.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Shed is one of the few buildings in Westside Village with architectural character, which is why we\u2019re reusing it instead of building new,\u201d said Schafer Smartt, vice president of Larkspur Capital. \u201cPreserving it adds authenticity that new construction can\u2019t match and will help anchor the district\u2019s identity as it grows.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Shed will sit on 3.67 acres at 2800 Cullen St. and feature 19,099 square feet of indoor space, a 3,453-square-foot covered patio area and more than 165 surface parking spaces. Line Design, a firm specializing in adaptive reuse, is the design architect for The Shed. The firm collaborated on the initial vision for the building, leaving flexibility for future tenant-driven design.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Shed offers operators the opportunity to be among the first to establish a presence in Westside Village,\u201d said Schenkel, principal at DBA Commercial Real Estate. \u201cWith its expansive layout, distinctive character, and integration into the larger development, it\u2019s well positioned to attract concepts that want to grow alongside the project and the surrounding area.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Larkspur and Keystone groups have also filed plans for the first office phase of Westside Village set to include a 100,000-square-foot, six-story Class AA office building with ground floor retail, room for two restaurant concepts and a private social club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
HPI was selected to lead office leasing for the 100,000-square-foot building at the northeast corner of University Drive and Westside Drive, formerly White Settlement Road. The HPI Fort Worth leasing team is composed of Matt Montague, Jake Neal and Colt McCoy, and preleasing is now underway.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Westside Village, the developers are creating a place where the city\u2019s history and character meet forward-thinking design and modern amenities,\u201d McCoy said. \u201cIt is setting the stage for Fort Worth\u2019s next chapter of growth.<\/p>\n
