350,000-SF outlet mall at Alliance planned

FORT WORTH – Fort Worth-based Woodmont Land Co. plans to develop a 350,000-sf outlet mall with about 50 stores called The Outlets at Alliance at I-35W and Cabela’s Dr. in far north Fort Worth.

Woodmont said it’s under contract with Hillwood Properties, the developer of Alliance, to buy 45 acres for the project.

The mall, to be located just north of the Cabela’s store, is anticipated to open in fall 2015, said Stephen Coslik, president of Woodmont Land. No stores have been announced but a release said the retailers will include “some of the most prominent brand names” in the outlet industry.

Woodmont Land Co. is the land acquisition arm of Woodmont Outlets, one of the property’s developers. Coslik is also chairman of The Woodmont Co., a Fort Worth-based commercial real estate firm that specializes in retail real estate and development.

EWB Development, a third-party provider of services in the outlet industry, will lead the marketing and leasing of The Outlets at Alliance.

A site plan on EWB’s website shows access to the mall from I-35W and shows eight retail buildings for the stores featuring a ‘racetrack’ design.
