In the last four years over 1M square feet of new businesses have opened in Hurst, helping to create an attractive shopping environment for shoppers all across the region. Retail occupancy levels exceed national and regional averages while developers and retailers are still finding new opportunities. The City enjoys a centralized location between Dallas and Fort Worth as the recently expanded SH 121/183 brings over 230,000 cars per day through the center of the City. |

Eighteen new restaurants have opened in the last few years in this busy corridor and the recently opened Hawaiian Bros, Dixie House Café and Hattie Mae’s Texas Style BBQ will add further to the highway roster. Consumers extend their shopping stay if they can enjoy a good meal out as they shop to meet their retail needs. Numerous other new eateries are now offered in Hurst after openings this year including Tastebud’s Live, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Dutch Bros, Sbarro’s Itallian, Sushi Go, and Olivo’s Café and Tortilla Factory and others.
Simon Property Groups North East Mall continues to serve as the highlight of the Hurst retail community. Several new stores opened there this year that allows them to remain nearly 100% leased year round and Dillard’s, Macy’s, JC Penney, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Michael Kors, Pandora, James Avery Jewelry, White House Black Market, Cinemark 18 Theater, BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse and 140 other retail stores and eateries help keep this popular shopping destination vibrant.

Our prosperous City of over 61,000 residents is located in Tarrant County, an urban county of 2.1 million residents. Tarrant is the 2nd fastest growing county in the State of Texas and 5th fastest growing county nationwide.
Over the past four years, 869 homes and over 900 multi-family urban lofts were constructed in Euless. Watercolor, a proposed 63-acre mixed-use development, would add another 340 homes, 420 urban loft units, and retail space. In addition, over 367,000 square feet of flexible commercial space is under construction in the Urban Logistics development in south Euless.

“Our Bedford location is one of the highest performers in the Dallas-Fort Worth market”, is something we hear quite often.
|
|
Not surprising though, with the CITY OF BEDFORD being centrally located between Dallas and Fort Worth, and with roughly a quarter-million vehicles coursing through our community every day.
Bedford boasts some of the densest residential developments in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, at roughly 5,000 people/acre.

So naturally, national retailers like Wal-Mart, Harley-Davidson, and the Movie Tavern are thriving in Bedford. Top chain restaurants such as Texas Roadhouse, Saltgrass Steak House, Chili’s, Chipotle, Jersey Mike’s and Chick-fil-A are also popular in the Bedford marketplace. But success is not limited to national chains in Bedford, we also have a growing base of experiential businesses that include a craft brewery, a trampoline park and axe-throwing.
Bedford’s local buying power is not limited its residential community and high traffic counts: Bedford is also a major medical and healthcare hub employing thousands of skilled workers. Texas Health HEB Hospital alone sees around 100,000 patients a year and continues to expand their presence in Bedford.
In the past year, the City has taken bold steps to foster quality development and redevelopment in the community. The City purchased an 18.5-acre tract of land at the prominent FM157/Industrial Blvd and SH 183/Airport Fwy intersection. The city is currently in discussions with a master developer for this mixed-use project, while actively seeking potential tenants. Additionally, the City has partnered with Old Town Development, to bring another mixed-use concept to life, Bedford Commons. The 30-acre Commons will contain destination-driven restaurants, retail, office, entertainment, and townhomes, along with unique active space such as a farmer’s market and programmed community square. Opportunities are available in both projects.
