The Cowtown Place Garage is a 312,000 square foot, 9 level cast in place parking structure featuring precast exterior panels and approximately 26,000 square feet of ground floor “white box” retail space. Designed to accommodate 833 vehicles, the garage’s architectural elements were carefully developed to align with the guidelines established by the Fort Worth Downtown Design Review Board (DDRB).
Located at one of the busiest intersections in downtown Fort Worth, the Cowtown Place Garage presented unique logistical and construction challenges due to its dense urban setting and limited staging space. The team coordinated closely with the City of Fort Worth to manage off-site worker parking, strict lane closure schedules, tower crane installation, and complex deliveries while maintaining traffic flow on surrounding streets. More than 370 precast panels were fabricated off-site in Corsicana, Texas and transported to the project site to accommodate the constrained downtown footprint. During foundation drilling, crews also encountered remnants of the previous 30-story building that once occupied the site, requiring a redesign from straight-shaft piers to a micropile foundation system. Through proactive planning, coordination with city officials, and innovative problem-solving, the team successfully navigated these constraints and delivered the project efficiently.
