By Bob Francis, Fort Worth Report February 26, 2022 Fort Worth's Trademark Property Company, a full-service real estate firm focused on investments, development and institutional services of mixed-use properties, wrapped up 2021 with a strong showing. The firm counted over 191 new leases totaling over 800,000 square feet and added prominent brands like Tommy Bahama Home, Fabletics, Sweetgreen, True Food Kitchen, johnnie-O and SPACES among others. In Fort Worth, a key signing late in the year was the first U.S. location of Quince, an award-winning restaurant with its main location in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The restaurant is expected to open later this year at WestBend, located just off Interstate 30 and University Drive, in the space formerly occupied by Bartaco. It was a welcome burst of activity in a year still reeling from the economic impacts of the pandemic. The signing also set the stage for the celebration of the firm's 30th anniversary. "What has worked for Trademark is really caring about what we build in the communities," said Terry Montesi, Trademark CEO. "A lot of developers we observe go into communities and they do their formulaic thing and they just basically say, 'Community, we are good at this, just let us do what we do and you're going to like it.' We don't believe in that. We do research. We partner with the communities. We listen to the people, and we think if we give the customer what they want, it's a lot lower risk, and the municipalities are happier and the customers are happier."
