Hurst Town Center is rapidly becoming the place to live, work, dine and shop. This progressive "urban center" concept will be anchored by a 55,000 square foot conference center. Groundbreaking occurred in June 2009 and construction started in July. The Conference Center is expected to open Fall 2010. For information on rates, amenities and menu options click here.

Hotel Accommodations

The 104-room Hampton Inn & Suites with meeting space for 85 people, an indoor swimming pool, and many specialty business suites with private meeting facilities opened behind City Hall in 2004. In 2007 Global Hyatt Corporation purchased the existing AmeriSuites. The re-branded, renovated and remodeled 128-room Hyatt Place makes Hurst Town Center a prime location for business and leisure travelers. Also in late 2007 a Holiday Inn Express & Suites was built between Italianni's Restaurant and the Hampton Inn. With five restaurants and the Frost Bank and Chase Bank office buildings nearby, Hurst Town Center is more than ever a central location for all types of visitors to the mid-cites and overall DFW area. You can see these and other amenities at Visit Hurst.

More Developments

National Surgical Hospitals (NSH) and a group of local surgeons have been in business in two new buildings in Town Center that have added over $25 million in value and 100,000 square feet of facilities. In phase one, NSH built and opened the 53,000 SF Southwest Surgical Hospital with six operating rooms and 20 beds. In phase two the company built a 45,000 SF medical office building in which the physicians have located their practices. Phase three may see construction of a 4-story mixed use building with over 10,000 SF of retail/office space and 27 loft style apartments for sale. Altogether the new multi-use project covers nine acres just behind the Hyatt Place. At about the same time, Paula Jefferson, CPA moved her practice and about 20 employees into a beautiful 10,000 s.f. office adjacent to Hyatt Place.

The City and the developers believe that the employment and visitors to the hospital and medical facilities, the hotels, and the restaurants will support each other and all of the new activity and employment will support the existing businesses in Town Center.

History of Hurst Town Center

In 1999, the City Council designated an area in the northwest quadrant of Airport Freeway and Precinct Line Road as Hurst Town Center. A new zoning district was created for this purpose. The purpose of the Hurst Town Center is to permit a wide variety of office, retail, residential, and compatible support uses with the intention of creating a pedestrian-oriented urban focal point for the City. It is envisioned as a mixed-use "people place" in an urban atmosphere that will be conducive for many different activities such as shopping, dining, working, living, exploring, interacting with other citizens of the community, conducting business, hosting out-of-town visitors, and similar activities.

The District is further intended to maximize the potential for job growth, increase property values, and enhance the City's urban image as viewed from SH 183 and surrounding areas. It specifically encourages those uses that will stimulate retail and business activity, maximize the economic use of available land within the District, and encourage the redevelopment of land in certain areas in a manner that perpetuates the overall "vision" for the Hurst Town Center. It specifically discourages those uses which provide for marginal increases in job growth, promote idle land, and detract from the image enhancement intentions of the District.  With the development and plans for more, it looks like Hurst Town Center is becoming the multi-use center it was intended to be.
