H-Mart Plaza Retail Center in Haltom City, Texas
How We Successfully Built the H-Mart Plaza Retail Center in Haltom City, Texas
Bob Moore Construction was selected by Haltom City Forrest Products to design and build the new H-Mart Plaza, a dynamic 193,000 SF retail center featuring 10 buildings located in Haltom City, Texas. Notably anchored by H-Mart—their first Tarrant County store and the company’s first-ever ground-up construction—this project highlights our team’s expertise in managing complex, large-scale retail projects.
Key Project Details and Features
The plaza consists of 10 steel-frame buildings designed to accommodate 38 retail tenants. H-Mart, the primary anchor, brings significant foot traffic with its renowned food court and unique stores within stores concept, offering shoppers everything from groceries to apparel and jewelry.
Overcoming Challenges: A New Approach to Design-Build
Initially, H-Mart Plaza encountered significant hurdles. Construction and design processes had stalled under the original contractor and architect, putting the project nearly six months behind schedule. Recognizing the urgency, Haltom City Forrest Products approached Bob Moore Construction to take over.
Leveraging our proven Design-Build approach, we quickly partnered with a capable architectural firm to reignite the project. Because the site was already over 50% leased, we strategically retained the original site layout, ensuring uninterrupted lease agreements and allowing immediate commencement of construction—even as architectural plans were being finalized.
Project Timeline and Effective Project Management
Upon receiving the project in May 2024, our team mobilized rapidly, beginning construction by June 2024. Despite inheriting significant schedule delays, we will complete H-Mart Plaza in just over a year in July 2025.
Our strategic coordination of simultaneous design and construction phases, combined with meticulous management of multiple subcontractors, enabled us to overcome initial setbacks and deliver the project on time.
Compliance and Accessibility
Bob Moore Construction prioritized adherence to all state and local ADA regulations, ensuring that the new retail center is fully accessible to all visitors.
Unique Aspects and Recognition
H-Mart Plaza stands out for its thoughtful architectural design, prominently featuring contemporary aesthetics that enhance the shopping experience. Additionally, the development has attracted notable attention within the industry, earning recognition and pending award nominations for innovation and excellence in retail construction.
