Under-Construction Space

"We're very pleased with the momentum, with where we are leasing wise and construction wise," Terry Montesi, CEO of the Fort Worth-based Trademark, tells GlobeSt.com. In addition to 300,000 sf of retail and restaurants, doors also will swing open in April on a 90,000-sf class A office building. CB Richard Ellis' senior vice president Dennis Barnes and vice president Worthey Wiles III are in the process of negotiating several leases, according to Montesi.

Meanwhile, Watters Creek's first residents are planning to move into apartments in August or September. The first phase calls for 230 apartments. Southern Land Co. of Franklin, TN is the developer.
