Ramrock Real Estate LLC has acquired Ridgmar Mall, located at 1888 Green Oaks Road in Fort Worth, as first reported by the Dallas Morning News.<\/a> Ramrock, a Dallas-based private equity firm, also announced plans to redevelop the site as a six-building, 931,000-square-foot logistics hub.<\/p>\n

Ramrock is developing the project, known as Ridgmar 30 Logistics Crossing, alongside Dallas-based Lincoln Property Company and Seattle-based KBC Advisors. While some of the stores are expected to remain open in the short term, ultimately the mall will be demolished, a spokesperson with KBC Advisors Texas told the Morning News.<\/p>\n

Ramrock, Lincoln Property Co. and KBC Advisors did not immediately respond to Chron’s request for comment by the time of publication.<\/p>\n

Ridgmar Mall first opened 50 years ago as Fort Worth’s first fully-enclosed mall, anchored by a Dillard’s, Sears, JCPenney and Neiman Marcus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mall was one of the city’s primary shopping destinations in the 1980s and 1990s, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram<\/a>. Its decline accelerated in the 2010s as major retailers began closing and customer traffic dwindled.<\/p>\n

Today, most of the mall’s major anchor stores have shuttered, leaving large portions of the property vacant. The\u00a0JCPenney onsite is set to permanently close on Nov. 1.<\/p>\n

An exact timeline has yet to be released.<\/p>\n

Demolition of the 1.2 million-square-foot mall could begin within the next 12 to 18 months, developers told\u00a0CultureMap<\/a>. Construction of the logistics campus is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ramrock Real Estate LLC has acquired Ridgmar Mall, located at 1888 Green Oaks Road in Fort Worth, as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":402078,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1836,1704,85744,116,118,117],"class_list":["post-402077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-chronnews","tag-chronstaff","tag-chrontexas","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=402077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/402078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=402077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=402077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=402077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
