History

The development is owned by Dallas-based Cypress Equities, a subsidiary of Staubach Company and managed by Arizona-based Vestar.[1] Cypress Equities bought up the old Acme Brick headquarters and other sections around West 7th in 2006 and partnered with The Carlyle Group investment firm to fund the $200 million project. The development was designed by Good Fulton & Farrell of Dallas.[2] West 7th celebrated its grand opening in March 2010, and has since added more restaurants and shops. West 7th is one of several pedestrian-oriented, urban village developments in Fort Worth, a style that was more common in the city before automobiles.

Shops

The 900,000 sq ft (84,000 m2) center consists of restaurants including: Thirteen Pies,[3] Tillman's Roadhouse,[4] A F+B, Dude, Sweet Chocolate, Waters Bonnell's Coastal Cuisine, Kona Grill, Terra Mediterranean Grill, and one of the top 100 steakhouse in America, Rafain Brazilian Steakhouse.[5] Kin Kin Urban Thai,[6] opened March 9, 2015 and will be followed by Mash'd [7] in later 2015. The development also features retailers like Flirt Boutique, Lane-Knight,[8][9][10] and WRARE, along with merchants such as LA Fitness, TONI & GUY, The Boardroom Salon for Men, and Movie Tavern.
