IKEA isn't just making headlines in Europe. The furniture store giant will break ground next month on its fourth Texas store in Grand Prairie.
Mycon General Contractors will serve as construction manager for the 290k SF project. GreenbergFarrow is the architect. Segovia Retail Group helped select the site and broker the deal. Jackson Walker provided local land use counsel.
IKEA Grand Prairie will create more than 500 jobs during construction and 300 jobs for IKEA employees once the store opens in fall 2017. This store will house 10,000 exclusively designed items and a 450-seat restaurant with those iconic Swedish meatballs.
The store, which was first proposed last fall, and adjoining 1,100 parking spaces will be built on 30 acres along the eastern side of State Highway 161 and Mayfield Road, north of I-20. An adjacent 15 acres could be developed with retail or commercial projects.
