Construction on Clearfork development underway

The Edwards family established their 7,000-acre homestead in 1848 and since then their land is transforming into Clearfork, Fort Worth’s new prime entertainment area.
Phase one of Clearfork is up and going, and will include 392 residences, 375,000 square feet of retail space and 100,000 square feet of office spaces, according to Clearfork 1848’s website.
Just minutes from TCU’s campus, students and Fort Worth residents can take advantage of the living, shopping, dining, office, health and fitness, and leisure and entertainment that Clearfork offers, Angelica Cofoid, with Cassco Marketing and Events, said.
The first phase of living at Clearfork is The Kelton. The Kelton is a four-story apartment and town home project that is located directly over retail stores. There are a plethora of different living options at The Kelton ranging from town homes and urban efficiencies to loft apartments.

The Kelton will be a four story apartment community as part of the new Clearfork development.

This living space also includes a resort style pool, a grilling area, courtyards, a fitness center equipped with yoga room and juice bar, and a sky lounge terrace bar with downtown views. You can start pre-leasing Fall 2015.
As for retail, Fort Worth can look forward to the new Neiman Marcus at The Shops at Clearfork. It will be a 95,000 square foot, two-story building within the 500,000 square foot mixed-use, open-air shopping destination, said Angelica Cofoid. Construction will begin in spring of 2015 with the grand opening set for February 2017.
“The Shops at Clearfork will be an integral piece of the Clearfork vision as we continue to establish a true sense of community with places for people to live, work, shop, and dine,” said Paxton Motheral, the vice president of Cassco.
The Trailhead will be Clearfork's premiere fitness center.

The Trailhead is on the riverfront of the Trinity Trails. The Trailhead is a premier outdoor space for health and fitness enthusiasts. Free outdoor recreational classes and activities led by community partners are offered every Saturday during the fall and spring seasons, according to the marketing presentation from Cassco.
The Trailhead will also be quipped with a 13,000 square foot Cycling & Fitness center. The facility will include indoor and outdoor fitness locations and full-service bicycle sales. It will also have a trailside café that offers a healthy menu.
The rooftop bar will offer alcohol service during evening hours and on weekends. The Trailhead is currently under construction and will have its Grand Opening in Fall 2015.
This is what the Clearfork urban village is expected to look like when completed.
