College Park, a 20-acre mixed-use development between Pecan Street and Center Street south of UTA Boulevard in Arlington, has lined up its first five retail tenants-all restaurants. Anchored by College Park Center, a 7,000-seat sports and entertainment venue, the retail component is slated to open this coming August.
The five new eateries “will attract people from the entire Arlington community and reflects our pursuit of a diverse tenant mix,” said Frank Bullock, executive vice president at SRS Real Estate Partners. He and SRS colleague Jack Burgher oversee leasing at College Park. “Currently, we are looking for a high-end convenience food market to serve the 33,500 students at UT Arlington and the downtown Arlington population,” Bullock said.
