West 7th Adding Tenants, Changes Hotel Partner

The Fort Worth Business Press reports that the West 7th development is continuing to add tenants to its roster, and that Cypress has switched from Starwood to another hotel operator. The new hotel will be announced by the end of the month.

The ground floor of the hotel building will feature retail with an elevator lobby that will take guests to the third floor of the building, where the hotel’s grand lobby will be located. Also on the ground floor will be an American grill themed restaurant that will occupy 6,000 square feet of space.

Williams said some of the planned retailers for the development include an upscale Mexican food restaurant and an Irish pub as well as a steak house and a Mediterranean café.

Got enough restaurants? How about some fargin’ retail?

That’s my biggest complaint with the 7th Street developments – about 99% of the ground-level tenants are restaurants. Would love to see some retail-type places make the move, but of course I have to remember my own advice: as long as the physical form is good, the ground-floor programming will eventually work itself out.

Responsible and thoughtful comments are welcome. Be aware, though, that this site exists in part as an advocacy site for New Urbanism and its potential to remake Fort Worth into an even more livable city than it is today. Thoughtful dissent is generally welcome insofar as it fosters thoughtful replies. Inflammatory dissent, whether intentional or not, will be deleted. Commenters whose comments we routinely delete will be banned. Nothing personal, but this is a privately owned and operated web site, and we are aiming for a specific tone and audience. Work within those guidelines and all will be well.

    I agree—waaay too many restaurants. How ’bout some places I can buy clothes, furniture, housewares, food, kitchen schtuff . . . you know, my basic daily needs? Our urban areas are sorely lacking in that kind of retail.
