TeaBevCo Lllp, parent of Texas Tea/HTeaO’s drive-through stores, will relocate and expand its Southwest Region distribution center to Railhead Business Station in north Fort Worth. The beverage maker has signed a long-term lease for the 25,692-square-foot balance of 500 Railhead Rd. Nick Talley, executive vice president and managing partner in the Fort Worth office of Dallas-based Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services, represents the landlord, Sun Life Assurance Co. of Canada.

TeaBevCo’s lease has pushed occupancy to 85% in the 214,650-square-feet project, which has its buildings at 500 and 600 Railhead Rd. now fully leased. Talks are underway for the remaining 33,000 square-feet at 800 Railhead Rd.

“Railhead Business Station is historically well occupied because it’s centrally located. The distribution points to all of the metroplex are phenomenal,” Talley says.

TeaBevCo’s new distribution center will benefit from Triple Freeport and Enterprise Zone abatements, perks from being situated in the bustling Interstate 35 W corridor versus its present location in southwest Fort Worth. Loop 820 is close by as are two airports.

Talks with Amarillo-based TeaBevCo went full circle in less than two months, with the company giving the nod to as-is space to speed its expansion to nearly 26,000 square-feet from 10,000 square-feet. Todd Hawpe of Transwestern represented the beverage company.

“This was a right-down-the-middle industrial deal,” Talley adds. “The company is rapidly expanding and needed a larger distribution center to supply its brick-and-mortar retail stores.”

The Southwest Region distribution center will occupy slightly more than half of a 43,872-square-feet structure. The rear-load/front-park design boasts a 24-foot clear height and ESFR sprinkler system.

TeaBevCo opened its first Texas Tea/HTeaO retail drive-through in 2009 in Amarillo and then began franchising the brand. Today, there are roughly 100 locations in Texas, Florida, Kansas and Oklahoma. The retail stores feature a custom tea bar, brewing station, a full line of YETI merchandise and healthy snack items.

Bell Partners Inc., an apartment investment and management company, has acquired Lenox Springs and Lenox Meadows, two adjacent properties in Austin, Texas, comprising a combined 619 units. The properties, acquired on behalf of the firm’s Fund VII investors, will be operated with the existing Bell Southpark community to create a three-phase, 949-unit multifamily community.

All three communities are adjacent to each other and are located less than 10 miles south of downtown Austin, providing convenient access to Austin’s major employment. In recent years, Austin has attracted several major technology employers, earning the moniker Silicon Hills. The area serves as an employee base for companies such as Apple, Dell, IBM and Google. In addition, Tesla is opening an assembly plant in the area that will create an estimated 5,000 jobs.

The property is within walking distance to Southpark Meadows shopping center, featuring more than 100 retailers, restaurants, and services. Additionally, the community is within a walking distance of a 344-acre public park which includes fishing access, sports fields, playground equipment and six miles of hiking trails.

The phased community features modern, new-development amenities: Lenox Springs and Lenox Meadows were built in 2018 and 2021, respectively, and Bell Southpark was built in 2018. The property features resort-style pools, grills and fireplace features, fitness and wellness studios, and available green space.

Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services’ new client, Skin Pharm TX LLC, has committed to a 10-year lease in a premier 13-story high rise to open its first cosmetic dermatology clinic in Texas and third in the nation.

The skincare company, with a growing celebrity following, will open a well-appointed clinic Monday on the sixth floor of 3131 Turtle Creek Blvd. Jared Laake, vice president of Dallas-based Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services, is representing Skin Pharm in its hunt to expand the brand’s presence in the U.S.

The 3,655-square-foot clinic will feature six examination rooms, all with commanding views of Turtle Creek and Dallas’ dynamic central business district.

The 145,896-square-foot class A project is located at the apex of Uptown and Turtle Creek, which along with neighboring Oak Lawn, are among the most affluent enclaves in Dallas’ center city. Trey Smith of Cushman & Wakefield of Texas Inc. represented the landlord, STRS Ohio TX Real Estate Investments Inc.

Two physician assistants with backgrounds in cosmetic dermatology have been hired as providers for the Dallas clinic, which will offer a full-treatment menu in addition to Skin Pharm’s entire line of medical-grade skincare products – best-sellers include Youth Serum, Clarifying Pads and Clay Time. Along with features in a number of notable outlets (SHAPE, Glamour and Byrdie), Skin Pharm has an impressive celebrity following, which includes country music star Kelsea Ballernini, actress Katie Stevens, American model Taylor Hill and reality TV star Lauren Lane.
