Fort Worth’s historic Edwards Ranch is once again shaping the city’s future. Cassco Development Co., the Edwards family’s development arm, announced that its new Trailhead Office project at Clearfork is about 60% leased, with an undisclosed anchor tenant occupying roughly 131,000 square feet of the 217,477‑square‑foot office complex.
Potential anchor tenant identified
City filings show renderings of a logo that closely resembles Higginbotham, the Fort Worth‑based insurance and financial services firm that employs more than 500 locals. Higginbotham has not confirmed the lease, stating only that it “was not prepared to comment at this time.” If the speculation proves correct, the company will join a growing list of businesses choosing Clearfork for its mixed‑use environment and strategic location at the southwest corner of Clearfork Main Street and Edwards Ranch Road.
Project details and timeline
Designed by Tryba Architects, the Trailhead Office will feature two interconnected buildings, ground‑floor retail, a covered entry plaza, outdoor gathering spaces, bicycle storage, and a fitness center with locker rooms. HPI, the real‑estate services firm handling leasing, expects construction to finish in the fourth quarter of 2028.
“What Cassco has created at Clearfork reflects the kind of long‑term vision and commitment that continues to move Fort Worth forward,” said Colt McCoy, partner at HPI, in a news release. “The leasing response to The Trailhead Office speaks to both the strength of that vision and the continued momentum we’re seeing across the Fort Worth market.”
Additional major projects in the region
Beyond Clearfork, Fort Worth’s industrial and manufacturing sectors are receiving significant investment. Trammell Crow Company and its joint‑venture partner PGIM have broken ground on Phase IV of the 35 Eagle industrial park in northeast Fort Worth. The new phase adds 755,793 square feet of speculative industrial space across three buildings and is slated for completion in summer 2027. The project, located on about 58 acres near Interstate 35 West and Eagle Parkway, is expected to create additional jobs and reinforce the area’s status as a logistics hub.
“Since its inception, 35 Eagle has expanded into a premier, multiphase logistics hub spanning over 5 million square feet within the Alliance submarket—one of the nation’s most dynamic industrial corridors,” said Coley Kellogg, vice president of Trammell Crow. “Our first three phases alone have created more than 2,400 jobs within the city of Fort Worth. The continued strong interest from high‑caliber tenants is a testament to the development’s strategic location, state‑of‑the‑art design, and seamless connectivity to major transportation infrastructure.”
Callaway Golf invests in advanced manufacturing
Fort Worth’s manufacturing renaissance also includes a $15 million investment by Callaway Golf Co. The company will open an advanced 3D‑printing facility adjacent to its North America Distribution Center at 15221 N. Beach St. The new plant will expand Callaway’s titanium research and development capabilities, allowing engineers to produce complex designs that traditional manufacturing cannot achieve.
“At Callaway, we believe the greatest performance breakthroughs come from challenging the status quo,” said Chip Brewer, president and CEO of Callaway Golf. “We believe 3D printing represents one of the most significant opportunities to advance golf club performance in decades, and we’re investing to lead that future.” The facility is expected to become operational in mid‑2027 and to support a portion of the company’s U.S. product needs by 2028.
Economic impact for Fort Worth
These projects collectively underscore Fort Worth’s emergence as a hub for high‑tech manufacturing, logistics, and professional services. The Trailhead Office will add premium office space and retail options, while the 35 Eagle expansion and Callaway’s 3D‑printing plant will generate skilled jobs and attract further investment to the region.
Local leaders and business groups have praised the momentum, noting that such developments align with the city’s long‑term vision for economic diversification and job creation. As the projects progress, Fort Worth residents can anticipate new employment opportunities, enhanced amenities, and continued growth of the city’s vibrant business landscape.
