This Week's Dallas-Fort Worth Deal Sheet
A major renovation of Meadow Central Market, a North Dallas retail center anchored by Tom Thumb, was completed in late April.
The 109K SF center, located at 10455 North Central Expressway, is one of the area’s oldest grocery-anchored retail centers, according to Weitzman. The development’s Tom Thumb, which also underwent extensive renovations, is the grocery chain’s second-oldest store still in its original location, according to Christy Lara, Tom Thumb’s director of public relations.
Jennifer Chandler, Weitzman’s senior asset manager for the project, said Meadow Central Market has benefited from the growth of nearby single and multifamily properties over the years. Meadow Central is one of the densest trade areas in the Dallas market, she added.
“With this renovation, Weitzman made a major investment to ensure the center continues as a retail and community destination for years to come,” Chandler said in a statement.
Tom Thumb renovations included an expanded beer and wine section, a full-service seafood department, an expanded bakery, and remodeled produce, dairy and meat departments, according to Weitzman. The store also has a new facade, signage, landscaping, outside seating areas, green space, parking and lighting.
The architect for the remodel was Hodges & Associates. Chandler directed the renovation on behalf of the center’s ownership and Chas Fisher, director of DFW construction with Weitzman, managed construction.
