Swift & Co Building in Fort Worth, TX

A new car park canopy is being constructed in the private parking lot at 600 E. Exchange Avenue in Fort Worth. The project, registered under the name Swift & Co Building, involves the new construction of a covered parking structure with a total area of 3,430 sq ft. The estimated cost for this development is $250,000, which equates to approximately $73 per square foot.

Swift Building, LLC is the owner of record for this privately funded project. The design was handled by James Kuhlmann Architect, PLLC, while Samuel Lamar Crook served as the registered accessibility specialist. The work is classified as new construction on private land for private use, distinct from the surrounding public commercial activity in the Tarrant County area.

Project Timeline and Status

TDLR completed the plan review process in November 2025. Construction was scheduled to begin in December 2025 with a target completion date of April 2026. Despite the passage of this scheduled end date, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current physical state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the project remains in a state of pending verification.

The build window for this canopy was 134 days, which is shorter than the county median of 214 days for similar new construction filings. The estimated cost of $250,000 is below the Tarrant County median of $800,000 for new construction projects. Additionally, the cost per square foot of $73 is below the county median of $120 per square foot, indicating a relatively efficient use of funds for this specific scope of work.

Swift Building, LLC has two other TDLR-registered projects in Fort Worth: the Swift and Co Office Building and The Swift Building. Both of these previous projects are marked as closed in the public registry. The design firm, James Kuhlmann Architect, PLLC, has one other registered project in Keller, Texas, which is also closed. This current project adds to the company’s portfolio of commercial developments in the region.
