Episode Details

Fort Worth’s iconic Ridgmar Mall, shuttering its last major tenant JCPenney, is being reborn as a massive 931,000-square-foot logistics hub — no data centers here — designed to meet soaring warehouse demand while respecting nearby Naval Air Station height restrictions. Once a bustling retail mecca since 1976, the mall now gets a fresh future thanks to Ramrock, partnering with KBC Advisors and Lincoln Property Co., after two years of local collaboration. Council member Michael Crain, who worked there as a teen, sees it as a chance to turn nostalgia into economic opportunity, positioning the site as a job and investment engine for the region. This isn’t Ramrock’s first mall-to-logistics pivot — they’re also transforming another Dallas mall — signaling a bold shift in how old retail spaces are reinvented for tomorrow’s economy.
