The Tower
Fort Worth, Texas

Services Provided: Economic Development Strategies; Incentive Package Negotiations;
Cost/Benefit Analysis
Costs: $65 million
Incentives: $16.9 million

                   
  Gideon Toal, Inc. was retained by TLC Green Property Associates I, L.P. to develop an economic development strategy and negotiate the redevelopment of the tornado-ravaged Bank One Tower into 150 rental units and 150 for-sale units with over 30,000 square feet of ground floor retail. Gideon Toal prepared the financial information necessary to initiate an economic incentive request totaling $16.9 million in public incentives. The public incentives consisted of:

• 15-year Tax Increment Financing Parking Lease
• 15-year City Program 380 Tax Rebate
• 10-year County, Hospital District, College, and Water District Tax Abatements
• Environmental Reimbursement Agreement

Gideon Toal managed the negotiations between the developer and the multiple taxing jurisdictions, including the Downtown TIF District. This included an extensive cost/benefit analysis showing the impacts of the project on the community. After the start of the construction and during the pre-sales of the for-sale units, the entire project was converted to for-sale due to the overwhelming demand.
