FORT WORTH, Texas (November 11, 2019)– Velocis, a private equity real estate manager, has sold Ridglea Village, a 112,117-square-foot mixed-use center in Fort Worth’s historic Camp Bowie District.

Built in 1939, Ridglea Village is one of Fort Worth’s most iconic retail properties, recognized for its Spanish-Mediterranean tile roof and distinctive charm. Since acquiring the center in 2011, Velocis has completed a full makeover of the property, restoring it to its original luster. Renovation efforts resulted in long-term lease renewals with some of Ridglea Village’s most prominent tenants, including La Madeleine, European Skincare & Med Spa, Haltom’s Jewelers and FedEx. In addition, the property also welcomed a number of new tenants, including R Taco, Chicken Salad Chick, Campisi’s, Buttermilk Sky Pies and Regen Wellness Spa.

“We purchased Ridglea Village because we saw the unique opportunity to own an iconic, historic Fort Worth asset that we could improve physically and in terms of usability for the surrounding neighborhood,” said Jim Yoder, partner, Velocis. “Ultimately, we were able to execute our business plan for the center, adding significant value to the asset and improving the quality of the tenancy during our hold period.”

Ridglea Village is located at 6040 – 6100 Camp Bowie Boulevard in Fort Worth. The 3.32-acre center is 74% occupied with a diverse and internet resistant mix of destination tenants including Campisi’s, La Madeline, R Taco, European Skincare & Med Spa, Haltom’s Jewelers and more.

Dallas-based Velocis has been active in real estate since 2010, purchasing 31 assets located in major markets within Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and the Washington D.C. Metro Area. Velocis is led by a team of five seasoned partners who are directly responsible for the acquisition, asset management and disposition of assets. Partners in Fund II are Fred Hamm, Mike Lewis, Jim Yoder, Paul Smith and David Seifert.
