Clearfork's Next Office Campus Has the Farmers Market's Address

On a Saturday morning, 4801 Edwards Ranch Road is a cluster of tents, coffee and bicycles. Press Cafe is in Suite 105. Bike Mart is a few doors down in Suite 125. The Clearfork Farmers Market sets up from 8 a.m. to noon, and its Nov. 7 listing promised more than 25 local farmer, rancher and artisan vendors. Behind all of it, the trailhead connects to the Trinity Trails, which Clearfork describes as a system of more than 100 miles.

Every other part of Clearfork runs on a weekday clock. The Trailhead runs on a weekend one. That is about to change. The city of Fort Worth now has a design review record for two new office buildings and a parking garage, and the work location on that record is 4801 Edwards Ranch Road. For Mira Vista households who have shifted more of their week toward Clearfork, as we wrote about this summer, the corner they visit with a coffee cup and a bike rack is the next one to get a business district.

The Filing Lists 4801 Edwards Ranch Road

The project is called The Trailhead Office. The developer is Cassco Development Co., the development arm of the Edwards family, whose ranch was founded on this land in 1848. The Fort Worth Report placed it at the southwest corner of Clearfork Main Street and Edwards Ranch Road, "in the area of Press Cafe, Bike Mart and Clearfork Farmers Market." HPI, the firm handling leasing, put it more directly in its Oct. 23 announcement. Its description of the Trailhead site says it is currently home to Press Cafe, Bike Mart and the weekly farmers market.

The city's planning record, UDC-2026-238, fills in the rest:

• Project description: "Clearfork Trailhead. Two New Office Buildings, New Parking Garage with Retail Base"
• Review type: design package for conceptual review within an MU-2 form-based district
• Applicant and owner: Cassco, with Tryba Architects of Denver listed as agent
• Status: pending; the application was accepted Nov. 5, 2026
• Next step: Urban Design Commission review, listed as due Nov. 19, 2026

Nov. 19 is the due date the record gives for the commission's review step, and the project is still at the conceptual stage.

Over a Third of Cassco's Clearfork Office Space, Next to a Bike Shop

The size matters because of what is already at Clearfork. The Trailhead Office totals 217,477 square feet. According to the Fort Worth Report, it brings Cassco's Clearfork office portfolio to nearly 600,000 square feet, alongside The Offices at Clearfork, co-owned with Simon Property Group, and 5600 Clearfork Main St. Put another way, more than a third of the developer's office space at Clearfork will sit on the corner best known for a farmers market.

A large share of it is already spoken for. HPI says about 131,000 square feet has been preleased to an anchor tenant it did not name, which puts the project about 60% leased before construction. The Fort Worth Report found renderings in the city filing showing a logo that resembles Higginbotham's. Higginbotham is the Fort Worth-based insurance and financial services firm with more than 500 local employees, and it has said it is looking for a new headquarters as it grows. The company told the Report it was "not prepared to comment at this time."

Whoever the tenant turns out to be, the effect on the corner is the same. An anchor of 131,000 square feet means hundreds of people arriving every weekday at a spot whose busiest hours have been Saturday from 8 to noon.

The Office Is Being Designed Around the Trailhead

HPI's release lists ground-floor retail, a covered entry plaza, outdoor gathering spaces, a fitness center with locker rooms, bike storage and direct access to the Trinity Trails. Most of those features are aimed at people who arrive by bike or head out on the trail at lunch. The building is being pitched on the same things that already bring people to this corner on weekends.

Tryba Architects, the Denver firm on the city record, is also writing the master plan for Clearfork's Trailhead district, a 28-acre riverfront area organized around retail, health, fitness and outdoor recreation. Its project page describes porches and a mix of local and national shops, and it names the market directly:

"Expansion of the existing Farmers Market complements a curated mix of local and national retailers, specialty shops, and recreational soft goods."

The same page calls the market "beloved" and puts Press Café alongside the bike trails in its description of what makes Clearfork distinct. The firm drawing the office buildings is the same firm that wrote expansion of the existing market into the district plan. That is the clearest sign of where this corner is headed. Cassco is adding a weekday population to a place it has already designed around weekend use.

Parking is the practical question. The market already asks shoppers to use marked spaces only, and to carpool or walk in from nearby neighborhoods on the Trinity Trails when the lot is full. The new plans add a parking garage with retail on its ground floor. Office garages tend to sit mostly empty on Saturdays, the same morning the market's lot is at its fullest.

The Calendar From Here to 2028

From now to the end of 2028 is about two years. That is roughly how long the Trailhead has left in its current form. The same is happening down the road, where the H-E-B planned at Oakmont and Chisholm Trail is also on a late-2028 timeline. Southwest Fort Worth's two biggest daily-life changes for Mira Vista are now set to land in the same year.

This Season at the Trailhead

None of this changes the next few Saturdays. Here is how the corner's December calendar looks:

1. Saturday market, every week. The Nov. 7 listing gave hours of 8 a.m. to noon at 4801 Edwards Ranch Road, presented by Frost. The market's main page lists winter hours of 9 a.m. to noon, so check the weekly post before setting an early alarm.
2. The Pumpkin House. Clearfork's seasonal photo installation at the Trailhead got its own post this month.
3. Saturday, Dec. 5: the market moves. The Clearfork Holiday Market, sponsored by Frost Bank, runs 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Shops at Clearfork, 5188 Monahans Ave. The weekly farmers market relocates to The Shops at Clearfork Plaza that day. The event is free, outdoors, and family- and pet-friendly. Santa visits require signup, and live music on the lawn features Michael Mangrum from 9 a.m. to noon and the Standard Time Jazz Band from noon to 2:30 p.m.
4. Parking on Dec. 5. Because the event moves to The Shops, use the garages there. The Blue Garage, east of Neiman Marcus, has entrances at Monahans and Ozona Avenue and at Monahans and Gage Avenue. The Orange Garage, by AMC Theatres, is entered from Trailhead Bend Way at the west end of the property.

The Dec. 5 move is a one-day relocation for the holiday market. It also gives a preview of something the Trailhead plans will eventually have to settle: where the market goes when its usual corner is in use for something else.

The team at John Zimmerman tracks filings like UDC-2026-238 because projects on the corners Mira Vista uses every week shape how the neighborhood lives and how its homes are valued.
