City Place, Mixed-use skyscraper complex in Fort Worth, Texas
City Place is a mixed-use development featuring two 20-story office towers in Fort Worth's central business district connected by an elevated pedestrian skyway. The complex provides office space and parking with direct access to multiple transportation options throughout the downtown area.
The site was developed in 1974 when Tandy Corporation demolished the Leonard's Department Store to build its corporate headquarters. This transformation marked a shift in downtown Fort Worth from retail commerce to corporate business.
The complex once housed a shopping center and ice skating rink that served as gathering places for the Fort Worth community. These facilities shaped the area's social life before the site became a business hub.
City Place occupies two towers on opposite sides of Throckmorton Street in downtown Fort Worth, joined by a pedestrian skyway. The buildings are mainly office and parking space, with retail at ground level of the garage that replaced the former mall. Visitors arriving by car use the on-site garage; the skyway keeps the crossing between towers covered.
The property operated a private subway system from 1963 to 2002 that connected the main building to surrounding parking areas. This underground network was an unusual feature for Fort Worth and streamlined movement between the different sections.
