Bell Textron Inc, a Textron Inc. company and leading American aerospace manufacturer, has signed a long-term lease for the entire 109.2k sf building at 4151 Amon Carter Blvd in Fort Worth, TX. The Class A, four-story building formerly housed the American Airlines Federal Credit Union.
Bell increased its office footprint to accommodate its growing operations throughout the DFW region. The opening of the Bell Commercial Business Center (CBC) will house approximately 600 employees including all Commercial Programs, Global Sales, Customer Support and Services as well as supporting business functions, Supply Chain, Information Technology, Human Resources and Finance personnel. In August, Bell unveiled a new 140,000-square-foot Manufacturing Technology Center (MTC) in Fort Worth, Texas. Since establishing a footprint in North Texas in 1951, Bell’s facilities have been a hub for new technology in aviation.
The building is owned by Capital Commercial Investments, who renovated the campus entrance lobbies, built out model suites and common areas, and upgraded existing lighting to enhance the tenant experience. The buildings feature irregular dodecagon-shaped floorplates with four wings of office space affording an unrivaled 12 sides of glass windows. Additionally, the property has an underground pedestrian tunnel connecting all three buildings.
Situated 17 miles between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, 4151 Amon Carter benefits from access to the seven major freeways connecting all regions of the DFW metroplex, DFW International Airport and the Centreport submarket, where the property is located. One of 4151 Amon Carter’s most important attributes is its proximity to the Centreport Railway Station and the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) commuter train.
Todd Burnette and Matt Montague with JLL represented Bell Textron in the transaction. Transwestern’s Duane Henley and Nathan Durham provide leasing services on behalf of the building ownership.
The three-building, 1.39 msf office campus that previously served as the world headquarters for American Airlines was acquired earlier this year by Austin-based Capital Commercial Investments, which specializes in purchasing undervalued commercial investment properties throughout the United States. The lease by Bell is the first major lease since the sale of the campus. The 40-acre site still includes 6.33 acres of undeveloped land and leasing opportunities for 4333 and 4255 Amon Carter Blvd.
