Scope Of Work

Balfour Beatty has been a prominent fixture in the Fort Worth community since 1991. We strive to be as active as possible in the community and are always looking for new opportunities to diversify our portfolio. Alongside projects like the THR Harris Methodist Justin Tower and the Fort Worth Police & Firefighter Memorial, we recently had the privilege of constructing Frost Tower Fort Worth. Balfour Beatty provided preconstruction and construction management services for the new 29-story, 323,415-square-foot, Class AA office and retail tower in downtown Fort Worth. At the time of construction, Frost Tower was the seventh-tallest building in Fort Worth and the first one to exceed 200 feet since 2009.

The goal of the developer for the project, Anthracite Realty Partners LP, was to create a work environment that serves as a home away from home for the building’s tenants, with a strong emphasis on first-class quality finishes and services. The project features ground floor retail shops, an eatery with a dining deck overlooking Sundance Square and Burnett Park, a rooftop garden, a 12th floor sky lobby and conference center and 934 parking spaces. There are 29 levels in total; 4 levels below grade and 25 levels above grade. Notably, Frost Tower is the first building in Fort Worth to utilize destination dispatch for elevators. This technology uses advanced algorithms to optimize the flow of traffic within a multi-elevator building. Overall, there are 11 elevators; 5 in the garage and 6 in the tower.
