FORT WORTH -- Trinity Habitat for Humanity has bought a building and 4.6 acres in west Fort Worth and plans to consolidate its Fort Worth operations there early next year.
The nonprofit recently bought an 11,390-square-foot building that sits on about 2 acres at 2801 W. Loop 820 and an adjacent 2.65 acres, Executive Director Gage Yager said. The acquisition comes during a $3.4 million capital campaign that began about two years ago, he said.After renovations, the building will become Trinity's new offices.A 10,000-square-foot warehouse/barn will be added so the group can consolidate from a 5,300-square-foot office at 3345 S. Jones St. and an 8,000-square-foot warehouse about a half-block away, Yager said."We've been here a long time and we are out of space," Yager said.The new site is "a very different and better setting," he said.The building and the 2-acre site were sold by Ten Trec Ltd., which had operated a computer company there since 1997.The remaining land was sold by Service King.Gary Vasseur with Coldwell Banker Commercial Searcy Vasseur Group negotiated the transaction.Yager said the organization, which builds and rehabilitates homes in Johnson, Parker, Tarrant and Wise counties, hopes to move into the new building in late spring.It also plans to build a model Habitat for Humanity home on the site.The group has raised $1.8 million in its capital campaign, Yager said.Some of that money was used to buy a building on Mayfield Road in Arlington where Trinity Habitat operates a ReStore store.Sandra Baker, 817-390-7727Twitter: @SandraBakerFWSTHave more to add?
