The Pearson Grove Residential Tower, once proposed as a 14-story urban residential location close to the Trinity River at 1630 Rogers Road, is being reworked as a six-story office complex.
Filings from Kimley-Horn & Associates for Fort Worth-based real estate investment 2SP Partners, now show a six-story office complex with a rooftop restaurant/lounge.
The site is zoned as high-intensity mixed use, and the developer is requesting waivers for the development. The Urban Design Commission will take up the request at an upcoming meeting.
Go Texan grants
Texas agriculture producers — from chips and salsa to boots, ice cream, spices, candy and chocolate makers — could qualify for a grant up to $40,000 from the Texas Department of Agriculture’s Go Texan program.
The Market Enhancement Grant Assistance provides funding for products made in Texas, preferably with Texas-sourced ingredients. The official wording in the application process is “tangible products grown, produced, manufactured, or value-added in Texas.”
“This is an extremely generous grant program because there are no matching funds,” said John Fletcher, whose company, Fletcher
Consulting PR, is a Go Texan associate member, which has assisted more than a dozen clients in its quest for Go Texan grants.
The grant recipient spends approved marketing funds and is reimbursed at 100% up to $40,000.
One recent grant recipient scored points by using Texas-sourced pecans and Imperial Sugar from South Texas in its popcorn and chocolates, he said.
A wide variety of companies are eligible, including wine manufacturers and boot manufacturers, he said.
The grant funds can be used for social media, packaging, travel to trade shows, video production, website development and radio, TV and outdoor advertising.
To qualify for the grant, a company must become a Go Texan member at the Tier 2 ($500) or higher level in the product member category. The application process requires two weeks, and the deadline to apply for the grant is May 7.
Working within these dates, applicants must file for Go Texan membership by April 20, or they will not be eligible for the grant program. Many businesses apply for the grant, so not every applicant’s approval is guaranteed. For more information on the program, visit the Go Texan website.
GameSquare results
GameSquare Holdings, a publicly traded esports company that has investments from the Dallas Cowboys’ Jerry Jones and Fort Worth’s John Goff, has reported it narrowed its losses in the fourth quarter and is forecasting revenue of $85 million to $90 million in 2026.
Management attributed some of the improvement to GameSquare’s 2025 acquisition of Click Media, a talent management company that represents creators and digital influencers.
“Our fourth-quarter results demonstrate a meaningful step change in profitability, driven by the success of our strategic investments, improved profitability across the business and the contribution from our recently acquired creator marketing platform, Click,” said Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare. “As a result, we delivered positive adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation) of $1.7 million for the fourth quarter, marking a key milestone for GameSquare.”
On Feb. 20, GameSquare entered into an asset purchase agreement with BENlabs to acquire TubeBuddy, an artificial intelligence-enabled software and workflow platform for creators and brands focused on optimizing YouTube channel performance and audience growth.
GameSquare trades on the NASDAQ exchange under the GAME symbol.

“It’s such an honor for eosera to be awarded a REX Award for innovation,” said Elyse Stoltz Dickerson, eosera founder and CEO. “The timing of receiving this award while we’re launching seven new innovative ear care products is not lost on me. Our team has worked so hard to develop products that really add value to the ear care category, which is a category that has been underserved for a long time.”
