IMPERIUM: Developing the Restaurant Destination for Weatherford, Texas |

Town Square to Undergo Major Transformation

DALLAS, March 17, 2016 – This week, Imperium unveiled its plan to redevelop the southeast quadrant of

Weatherford’s town square.

Imperium is underway with leasing and targeting several regional restauranteurs.

The development will encompass four units totaling 18,000 square feet of space with two- and three-story, sunset

view, rooftop patios overlooking the Parker County Courthouse.

The courthouse is a national architectural icon and is the center of Parker County, home to over 123,000 residents.

In 2014, the US Census Bureau ranked Parker County as the 69th-fastest growing county (of 3,143 counties) in the

United States.

As Parker County has continued to rapidly expand, so has the sophistication of local consumers’ tastes and needs.

Imperium’s development will cater to regional restauranteurs whose patrons demand higher quality in a unique dining

experience.

According to Stephen Schattner, developer of the project, “Ample parking, access, and visibility; the convergence of

tens of thousands of vehicles passing by daily; and evenly balanced daytime and nighttime populations, make this

location ideal for restaurants.” (Town Square brochure: www.WeatherfordTownSquare.com)

The town square, located at the intersection of US 51 and US 80, has 33,000 cars passing by daily and is within

walkable reach of the highest concentration of area homes and businesses.

On and around the square, government, office, education and healthcare services have expanded several times in just

the past few years.

However, the city has a shortage of commerce within downtown proximity, specifically restaurants.

According to Dennis Clayton, director of economic development, “Weatherford is on an aggressive plan to bring

retail, restaurants and entertainment to Weatherford’s town square. To help ensure the success of downtown

revitalization, the economic development forum has incentives available to drive growth at this location.”

Incentives include sales tax abatements, property tax abatements, and personal property tax abatements.

Imperium should be complete with planning and leasing of the Town Square project in the coming months.

One unit encompassing 2,300 square feet will be available in 30-days’ construction time; the remaining three units

totaling 15,000 square feet will take approximately five months to construct.
