Waterside - Open And Welcoming
Waterside is open and welcoming guests, though individual store hours may have changed
ABOUT US
In 1949, the Corporate Employees Recreation Association, or CERA, got its historic start
as an organization of recreation facilities and wholesome leisure activities for employees,
retirees, and their families. At that time, the company was known as Consolidated Vultee
Aircraft Corporation, or "Convair", and then later changed to General Dynamics, and then
to LMRA. Since that time, CERA terminated many of its attractions then sold off the land
to Trademark Property Company, in partnership with Sarofim Realty Advisors, in 2014 that
later was developed as Waterside. Today, Waterside is a 63 acre lifestyle/mixed-use
development, anchored by Whole Foods Market and REI, that capitalizes on the unique
physical attributes and location of the former LMRA (Lockheed Martin Recreation
Association). It is a vibrant shopping, leisure, and residential district that is
environmentally sustainable and strives to become Fort Worth's second living room with
free amenities such as wi-fi, lounge seating, bocce ball court, bean bag toss, wobble
boards, shade trees, public art, public restrooms, and grassy areas that inspire and
activate the community.
CONSCIOUS PLACE?
Conscious Place is the next generation of experiential development that is inspirational,
educational, sustainable and a place of wellness and vitality. It will build deep emotional
connection with customers and all stakeholders by making a difference in their community
and their life by making them feel connected, empowered and loved.
THE GROVE
Where do you go when you leave work but don't want to go home? Fort Worth's second living
room is The Grove at Waterside, a place for all Fort Worthians to relax, get inspired, and
connect. The park-like oasis in the center of the Waterside development is tucked away
from view, so you'll have to explore by taking the pathway near Whole Foods Market's café
and patio or the pathway by Piattello.
