Description/History
In 2022, the City began acquiring properties in the approximate 4-acre block west of Main Street and south of Broad Street, in historic downtown. To date, the city has ownership of all but one property in this block; but is working to close on the final piece over the next six months.
The City Council selected Nack Development, a developer with a unique experience in transformational projects in downtown Frisco and Old Town Lewisville, to deliver our own catalytic development to downtown Mansfield.
With the Fire Station #1 still in operation, city staff is working on the design and relocation of the station to the southeast corner of the Walnut Creek and Broad Street intersection. Because this process is about 24 months away, Nack development will acquire the northern half of the block from the city first, and then once the fire station relocation is complete, will acquire the final parcels of land.
Nack Development will deliver significant commercial square footage to downtown, in the form similar to the Dairy Block located in Denver, Colorado. Retail, restaurant and office space will dominate the development, while brownstones and some multifamily are expected in future phases. A series of pedestrian alleyways meander the development to create unique public spaces throughout the development. Structured parking is also a major component of the development and the main driver for required incentives.
The deal points of the agreement are summarized in the following chart:
