Retail at Fate is a new construction project for a 14,955 sq ft shell building located at Avondale Phase 2, Lot 2, Block A, in Fate, TX 75087. The project is registered with TDLR under the accessibility (TABS) program, with i9 Fund 1 LLC listed as the owner of record. Blair Baker serves as the registered accessibility specialist for this development. The estimated cost for the project is $2,000,000, which equates to $134 per square foot.

Construction was scheduled to begin in November 2024, with a planned completion date of October 2025. TDLR completed the plan review process in January 2026.
