Über diesen Titel

 For all the thought and effort that went into creating a one-of-a-kind development at Grapevine Main, only one component is the undeniable catalyst behind the entire project: passenger rail. Without the TEXRail commuter line operated by Trinity Metro, this defining piece of architecture wouldn't be nearly as functional. It might not even exist. But City leaders planned to be a stop along the route from Fort Worth the DFW International Airport for decades... and even chipped in a little extra to make it happen.

This is Part Two of our miniseries on the City's iconic new Public-Private Partnership:
