The renovation of a nearly 100-year-old Fort Worth building has landed developer M2G Ventures a mixed-use asset that is almost fully leased.
)
M2G Ventures launched a major overhaul of the 41K SF building, known as the PROOF building, located at 901 West Victory Blvd. in Fort Worth. With the signing of bowling alley Bowlounge, Witherite Law Group and Trinity Real Estate Investment Services, M2G Ventures only has 12K SF left to lease.
M2G transformed the building, which dates back to 1926, with modern amenities.
“Our goal was to showcase the building’s 94 years of milestones while repurposing the design to create a modern-day mixed-use location,” M2G Ventures co-president Jessica Miller Essl said in a statement. “We’ve been able to exceed our expectations for this legacy asset and that’s a tall order.”
