M2G Ventures, a North Texas-based real estate investment and development company, has inked deals with a corporate relocation, a boutique bowling concept, and one of the largest female-owned personal injury law firms in the country at PROOF, 901 W. Vickery Boulevard in Fort Worth. Built in 1926, Proof’s first life began when Adkins-Polk Whole Grocers built it to serve the growing population of Fort Worth. As the city transformed through the years, so did the purpose of the building. In 2010, the building was sold to Firestone & Robertson Distilling, signaling the true second life to the space. Within its walls, the famed TX Whiskey was imbibed by the masses, and Proof was further endeared to Fort Worth. Cut to today, the project has been redeveloped to house corporate headquarters, entertainment users, and flagship locations. The new leases bring the 40,665-square-foot mixed-use project to 72 percent released. Signed tenants include Bowlounge, a retro-style bowling alley, occupying 15,000 square feet; Witherite Law Group, personal injury firm, occupying 7,000 square feet and recently announced Trinity Real Estate Investment Services, who will occupy 6,500 square feet. M2G Ventures anticipates the remainder of the 12,000+ square feet of available space to fill up quickly as the new year approaches. “We’re thrilled to end this year with a big accomplishment through the renovation of PROOF,” said Jessica Miller Essl, co-president of M2G Ventures. “Our goal was to showcase the building’s 94 years of milestones while repurposing the design to create a modern-day mixed-use location. We’ve been able to exceed our expectations for this legacy asset and that’s a tall order.” Throughout the renovation, M2G has made intentional and curated decisions to revive the deep history of the building by using modern touches to highlight key architectural details of its unique time capsule. The interior is a beautiful combination of earth tones and textures of brick, wood, stone and metal with lofty ceilings and wide-open windows. The exterior showcases prominent modern-day Brooklyn and mid-century Chicago styles of massive bricks, large original fire doors and expansive open-air patio space. Repurposed artifacts also serve as art and fixtures both in and outside to balance the history and modernity inviting visitors to once again use this one-of-a-kind space.

STREAM Capital Partners arranged the sale of a property under a long-term lease to Gamma Aerospace, a key supply chain partner to many leading original equipment manufacturers. The 126,189-square-foot building is located in Mansfield, Texas, a suburb in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metro. The property sold to a private group at a record high price per square foot for the submarket. Jeff Lizzo and Daniel Macks of STREAM Capital Partners represented the seller and buyer in the transaction. “The industrial market in Texas is extremely strong, particularly in the Dallas-Ft. Worth market, where more and more companies are looking to locate,” Macks said. “This is a long-term positive for the market and for Dallas-Ft. Worth in general.” “This was an attractive deal for the buyer because they get a long-term absolute triple net lease with a quality credit tenant,” said Lizzo. “Likewise, the seller was able to monetize this asset at an attractive valuation to pursue other investment opportunities. It was a great deal for buyer and seller.”

Looking to expand its hub in the Southwest Region, Florida-based Structured Cable Products Inc. has leased 53,496 square feet at Turnpike Distribution Center in Dallas to end a six-month search for significantly more space in the Interstate 30 corridor. The company is in the process of moving into Turnpike 11, located at 3665 La Reunion Parkway, Dallas, where it’s leased more than 44 percent of the project. Structured Cable is picking up nearly 22,000 square feet of extra operating space with its relocation from Arlington. Brock Wilson, senior vice president and managing partner of Dallas-based Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services, and Joe Santaularia, first vice president, represented Structured Cable Products in the site search and long-term lease negotiations. John Gorman of Holt Lunsford Commercial represented the landlord, Dallas Industrial TT LLC. The 1980s-era structure, totaling 120,466 square feet, was renovated in 2019. “We looked all over. This distribution center fit perfectly with our client’s requirements,” Wilson said. “The landlord was extremely easy to work with and gave concessions to further incentivize the deal.” The site search had focused on industrial buildings with clear heights ranging from 24 feet to 32 feet, an end cap position and ample dock doors. “This project hit all three of Structured Cable’s requirements,” Wilson said, citing the ability to stack pallets four high. Structured Cable is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of low-voltage cables and accessories for the commercial and residential markets. It also has manufacturing and distribution facilities in Florida, California and The Netherlands, which services the EMEA region.
