Fort Worth Central Market Coffee Bar

A minor interior remodel is underway at the Fort Worth Central Market Coffee Bar, located at 4651 West Freeway in Fort Worth, Texas. The project involves a renovation of 244 square feet of interior space, with an estimated cost of $310,000. This compact scope represents a focused update to the existing facility rather than a new construction build.

Project Details and Ownership

The owner of record is KRG Chapel Hill Shopping Center, LLC, which has previously completed two other TDLR-registered projects in Fort Worth. The design work is handled by Absolute Design Partners, a firm with a portfolio that includes several HEB locations across the state. The registered accessibility specialist for this filing is Melvyn Archer. The project is privately funded and takes place on private land for private use.

The estimated cost of $310,000 places this renovation above the median estimated cost of $250,000 for similar renovation and alteration filings in Tarrant County. The cost per square foot is $1,270, which is significantly above the county median of $79 per square foot for this type of work. However, the scheduled build window of 25 days is shorter than the county median of 92 days, indicating a rapid execution timeline for the scope of work described.

Status and Timeline

The project was registered with TDLR in October 2026. According to the filing, plan review is pending, and completion is targeted for February 2027. The construction start date listed in the filing is January 2027.

This renovation is part of a broader pattern of commercial activity in the area, where the same owner has invested over $925,000 in other registered projects. The design firm involved has registered six other projects totaling over $5 million, suggesting a sustained level of commercial development in the region. The local labor market in Tarrant County had an unemployment rate of 4.4 percent in August 2026, which was lower than the rate a year earlier.
