This Week's Dallas-Fort Worth Deal Sheet

Colleyville-based Urban Air Adventure Park is breaking ground on a 31K SF facility at Summer Creek Station, a 26-acre retail development in south Fort Worth at the southeast corner of Sycamore School Road and Chisholm Trail Parkway/Highway 121.

The indoor park, which will open this fall, will be an entertainment anchor for Summer Creek Station and serve as a prototype for the company's future expansion across the country. Transwestern Retail Managing Director Steve Williamson and Senior Vice Presidents Larry Jordan and Mason Bishop represented the developer, Wilson & Stonaker. Catherine Gibbons and Brad Struck of esrp represented Urban Air. An existing Walmart Neighborhood Market anchors Summer Creek Station, but there are opportunities on several outparcel pad sites for additional anchor tenants, retail and restaurants. The site is shovel-ready, with all utilities, cross-access drives and detention recently completed by the developer.

The Summer Creek Station trade area is seeing significant growth spurred by the completion of the Chisholm Trail Parkway, evidenced by Walton Homes purchasing 2,000 acres for 5,000 planned single-family homes. Other development in the area includes the 800-unit The Dylan apartment complex, a master-planned community on the 426-acre Pate tract and a new 80-acre campus of Tarleton State University.
