Elite Level Fire Damage Restoration in Mansfield, TX

Fire damage to your home is one of the most traumatizing, frightening tragedies a person can experience. This is especially true in apartment buildings and multifamily homes, where dozens if not hundreds of families are affected by fire and smoke damage. When a fire rips through an apartment building, the property damage can be catastrophic. But the damage caused by fires doesn't end once the flames have been extinguished. Victims are left wondering what happens next now that their belongings are destroyed. When will they have a roof over their again?

In these circumstances, prompt, purpose-driven fire damage restoration is key to reducing victims' financial and emotional strain.

Fire Damage Restoration for Apartment Buildings in Mansfield, TX

Owners and managers of apartment complexes know that the safety of their tenants is a major responsibility. Unfortunately, nobody can completely control when apartment fires occur. Fires in apartments and multifamily buildings may start small, but they spread quickly, often destroying several living spaces. These frightening fires destroy prized heirlooms, important documents, and can even be fatal. However, the work is only beginning once the fire is put out and lives are saved.

In the aftermath of a disaster, figuring out the next steps is hard. During this difficult time, it's important to be prepared. As a property manager or owner, having a fire damage restoration company on your checklist of resources is crucial.

Unlike residential fires, apartment and multifamily building fires add several more layers of complexity and stress. In these situations, you deserve a restoration partner that you can trust without question, and that company is Atlas National Renovations.

Because every property is different, each fire restoration project for apartment buildings is too. However, every fire disaster will have a similar process and will often include:

Contact ANS

Your fire restoration process begins when you call our headquarters. Our specialist will ask you a series of questions about the fire event that occurred. That way, we can arrive on-site with the proper resources and equipment.

Fire Damage Assessment
and Inspection

Our fire damage restoration team will carefully inspect the entirety of your apartment complex, from building to building and room to room. We do so to determine the extent of your apartment's fire, smoke, and soot damage. This step is crucial to developing a comprehensive restoration plan.

Board-Up Services

First responders like firefighters must break windows and cut holes in roofs to slow fire growth and save lives. Once the fire is out, our team can get to work, boarding up holes and constructing temporary fencing around the property.

Water Removal

If there is water damage associated with your apartment fire, we'll remove most of the water immediately. From there, we use air movers and dehumidifiers to help complete the drying process.

Smoke and Soot Removal

Within minutes of a fire, walls, electronics, and other surfaces are covered in soot. Smoke and ash continue to cause damage to every inch of your apartment building. That's why ANS uses specialized equipment to remediate smoke damage and remove odors. This process is often labor-intensive and can take time, especially for large fire damage restoration needs.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Using a variety of restoration and cleaning techniques, our team will help clean restorable items and sanitize units for safety.

Restoration

Getting your apartment buildings to their pre-fire conditions is our ultimate goal. Depending on the size and scope of the fire restoration job, minor repairs like painting, drywall replacement, and new carpet installation might be needed. You might also need major structural renovations like re-siding, re-roofing, new window installation, floor replacement, and more.

Tips for Preventing Apartment Fires

If you're a property manager or own multifamily residential buildings, the thought of an apartment fire is terrifying. What starts as a small fire can quickly turn into a catastrophic event, with your entire complex up in flames. However, one of the best ways of preventing these fires is to know more about them.

Share these tips with tenants to help prevent deadly apartment fires:

Turn Off Heat Sources

Turn Off Heat Sources

Data shows that a large number of apartment fires begin with cooking. Often, these fires are caused by the ignition of common items like rags, curtains, wallpapers, and bags. Encourage tenants to keep their kitchens and cooking areas clear of combustibles. Never leave a stove unattended for long, and don't leave burners on by themselves. Unintentional mishaps like leaving heat sources on are common causes of fires that can be prevented with a little forethought.

Electrical Safety

Electrical Safety

Like heat sources, electrical malfunctions are also common causes of fires in apartment complexes. It's hard to prevent all electrical malfunctions, but you can tell tenants to avoid bad habits. Tips include never using extension cords as permanent solutions and never using a cable if the third prong is missing.

Appliance Safety

Appliance Safety

Appliances are a part of everyone's lives. They're also standard equipment in most apartment units. But if tenants don't take proper precautions, these useful tools can spark deadly fires.

Tips for Preventing Apartment Fires

No matter how large or small, fires are nightmare scenarios for entrepreneurs with commercial properties. Fire damage can completely ruin storefronts and offices, leaving charred remains and burned-up files before firefighters arrive. To make matters worse, soot and smoke damage ruin your businesses' furniture, HVAC system, carpet, walls, and windows.

To eliminate health hazards and restore your business to its pre-fire condition, you need to bring in a team of professionals with years of experience in fire damage remediation. At ANR, we use commercial-grade equipment and cutting-edge tools to clean up the aftermath of your fire and rebuild your property. That way, you can get back to running your business and providing for your family.

Company Resumes Growth Trajectory Pandemic Halted Project Now Back on Track

MANSFIELD, Texas, March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Flix Brewhouse, the world's only first-run dine-in cinema brewpub, announced today it has signed a 15-year lease with Shops at Broad in Mansfield, Texas to complete and open a nine-screen luxury theater this fall. The nearly 40,000-square-foot facility was originally scheduled to open in 2020 until construction stopped with the COVID-19 shutdown and remained suspended due to subsequent distress in the movie theater and shopping center industries.

"We are beyond thrilled to at last bring our unique brand of dining and entertainment to life in Mansfield. A long, strange trip it's been indeed, but the delay has enabled us to invest in the latest cinema technology such as 100% laser projection, offer compelling entertainment choices beyond movies, and evolve our food and beverage offerings to best-in-class," said Allan Reagan, Flix founder.

Shops at Broad spokesperson Sam Kartalis said, "since current ownership took over this regional center south of Fort Worth at U.S. 287 and Broad St. three months ago, leasing activity has been through the roof. Flix Brewhouse is a world-class concept and operator and will be the linchpin for additional planned major entertainment concepts coming soon to Shops at Broad."

"This new location marks a real milestone for our company," said Flix CEO Chance Robertson. "The movies are back in force in 2023 and our team is thrilled to bring our tenth dine-in cinema brewpub nationally and fifth in Texas to the Shops at Broad. Mansfield is a wonderful community and we're excited to be a part of it. It's the perfect complement to our existing metroplex location on the north side of DFW near Frisco and Little Elm. We cannot wait to fire up the projectors, pour the first award-winning craft beer, and allow our guests to relax in luxury while enjoying a great film."

The Mansfield Flix Brewhouse is the chain's new prototype theater, its nine auditoriums equipped with parabolic screens, state-of-the-industry digital audio and video, and Flix's custom recliner seating and proprietary "Easy Glider 2" sliding, pivoting tabletops. Moviegoers will enjoy unobtrusive, in-theater service from a complete cooked-to-order menu as well as a broad selection of soft drinks and full adult beverage service, including signature cocktails and a dozen Flix Brewhouse craft beers brewed on premises. The Mansfield location will have its own brewmaster and guests will enjoy the brewpub experience with or without a movie.

Flix Brewhouse prides itself on crafting memorable moviegoing. In addition to showing the latest Hollywood blockbusters, the cinema brewery celebrates throwback favorites through one-of-a-kind experiences including fan events, family movie parties, and all-inclusive beer dinners showcasing their award-winning brews. FanFests are highly popular interactive events where guests enjoy a special themed menu, in-theater contests and movie-themed merchandise giveaways. Even the youngest of guests are catered to by the Flix Junior series, featuring coloring activities, increased lighting, and reduced volume levels for sensitive ears.

About Flix Brewhouse

Flix Brewhouse was founded in Round Rock, Texas in 2011 and is the planet's only first-run cinema brewery. Flix combines the latest Hollywood productions, award-winning, brewed on-premises craft beer and delicious food – all served "in theater," to guests in their luxury dining recliners. The genesis of the Flix concept stems directly from consumer demand for a better, more value-oriented way to watch a movie. Designed from the inside out to deliver a premium viewing and dining experience at an affordable price, Flix Brewhouse addresses the primary concern of moviegoers everywhere – the rising cost of admissions and concessions and the typically poor value realized at the conventional multiplex. The company has nine successful operating locations in six states, including an existing metroplex location serving Frisco and Little Elm, and is now selectively growing its new theater pipeline. www.FlixBrewhouse.com

'There will be nothing like it in Mansfield': How this $500 million development came together

MANSFIELD, Texas — Editor's note: The article originally appeared in the Dallas Business Journal here.

A new mixed-use project with a price tag of up to $500 million promises to bring development of a scope previously unseen in Mansfield.

Chisholm Flats has staked out a 54-acre site for the project, located at the northeast corner of Lone Star Road and Highway 287. The expansive development, called the Village at Southpointe, boasts offerings including medical office, upscale multifamily and restaurant and retail space.

The Village at Southpointe will create an anticipated 637 new jobs, according to information provided by Chisholm Flats.

The city has backed the project with incentives including a TIRZ reimbursement and Chapter 380 economic development agreement. The project will feature extensive civic plaza space, and city documents point to the upcoming site as a likely entertainment destination.

Chisholm Flats

The development is projected to generate $64.6 million in ad-valorem revenue over the next 30 years for the city. PlainsCapital Bank is providing debt for the project and Chisholm Flats isn’t using outside equity.

Upon completion, the Village at Southpointe will feature between 800 and 1,000 multifamily units, between 80,000 to 100,000 square feet of medical office space and restaurant and retail space designed to recruit destination dining. Boutique hotel and corporate office development are also on the table. The final amount that developers are projecting to spend on the project will be between $350 and $500 million.

“There will be nothing like it in Mansfield,” said Dave Berzina, partner at Chisholm Flats.

Berzina heads the company along with Robert Jonas, also a partner at Chisholm Flats. Berzina previously worked with the Fort Worth Chamber, and Jonas has worked as a developer and lawyer.

When the duo got together to start developing, the first thing they did was drive around for hours on end looking for sites. They found the property in Mansfield during one of those car rides.

A Chicago-based firm previously owned the site. That firm’s forte was residential, and the company knew the site was better suited for commercial development.

Once the Chisholm Flats started working with the city for the eventual development, it became clear that the original zoning for the site didn’t work and ran counter to what the city wanted to see on the property. Together, Chisholm Flats and the City of Mansfield worked to create an updated plan for the land.

“Thankfully, the city was willing to work with us in getting some higher value zoning on the site for some multifamily to bring some density,” said South Cole, principal at Apogee Partners and project manager for the development. “They had an appetite for some nicer commercial on site, which we knew would require the density. It was a pretty big ask from the city, but also a pretty big offer from the city.”

The zoning process was extensive, but the final zoning for the site allows for more density than what's typical. Chisholm Flats had to shoulder the carrying costs, but the city was an active partner.

“It’s definitely a very engaged city council and city management staff,” Cole said.

Chisholm Flats had to give up millions of dollars worth of potential development to include the core civic space within the project. The project will feature an extensive walkway system and architectural features such as a water mill.

“We’re trying to do a really nice job and put in some destination restaurants,” Jonas said. “In order to (get) destination restaurants, you have to have a really nice destination place for them to come to. … That’s why we’re giving up millions of dollars and spending millions of dollars (on) that civic space.”

Mansfield has seen a wave of development activity recently. Admiral Legacy Investments is planning to develop 240,000 square feet of office space in Mansfield, called The Mansfield Innovation Community, or The MIC, which will serve as the epicenter of the Mansfield Innovation Corridor. The city is investing heavily in the deal, intent on fostering significant industry growth in the community.

The city recently passed incentives for a project that could eventually host film production and create over 2,000 full time jobs.

Mansfield is known for their amazing parks and outdoor spaces and they’re about to get even better with two new parks and improvements to McClendon Park West. Make plans to bring the family this Saturday and join the circus themed fun as the city celebrates the openings.

From Mansfield Parks and Recreation: It’s a three-ring celebration in Mansfield this Saturday and you’re invited! The festivities begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 22, with the grand opening of Watson Branch Park, 1420 Watson Branch Road. This new neighborhood park is nearly 11 acres, most of which includes a paved linear trail that runs throughout Watson Branch, a neighborhood off 157 and Mouser Way. The park area includes two playgrounds, a pavilion and picnic tables.

Once that ribbon is cut, the circus heads to Gertie Barrett Park, another brand-new neighborhood park. At 11 a.m. city officials will officially dedicate this eight-acre park, located at 2121 Gertie Barrett Road. It includes two playgrounds, two pavilions, a looped walking trail, natural areas, a restroom and a splash pad. This park was the highest priority for northwest Mansfield in the 2020 Master Plan.

At noon, staff and city leaders will move the fun to McClendon Park West, 799 W. Broad Street, for the final ring in the circus celebration. While originally opened in 1985, the park has been closed since June 2022 for major renovations that replaced the unused softball field with two lighted basketball courts while also adding a new restroom and splash pad. The park also had parking expanded in both areas to accommodate the new visitors expected with the enhanced amenities.

Once officially open, all three parks will operate on standard neighborhood park hours, open daily from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. The splash pads at Gertie Barrett Park and McClendon Park West will be operating from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, starting with the park opening and through the end of the summer. There is no cost to attend the parks or the splash pads.

Residents are encouraged to attend the grand openings on Saturday, April 22, and celebrate this exciting day with city leaders and park officials. Let the circus fun begin!

PLEASE NOTE: These parks are NOT open until Saturday and are still considered construction sites. Some barriers have been removed to allow crews to make the final adjustments, but the parks are still closed. PLEASE do not visit the parks until they have been cleared to open for your own safety. We know you are excited and we are too…not much longer!

UPDATE APRIL 17, 2023: The first step toward bringing a new development to the City of Mansfield would include the submission of plans by the developer which, according to officials from the City of Mansfield, has not happened yet.

“While neither a development plan nor a partnership between the City and developer have been proposed” Smolinski said, “representatives of Wildcat Management have expressed their enthusiasm regarding the potential development of Castle Ranch.”

Smolinski indicated that any proposed development or partnership between the developer and city would have to be presented to – and approved by – the City Council in a public meeting.

DALLAS, Texas – April 13, 2023: There’s a new cat in town in Mansfield, Texas. Known for its thought-forward prowess, Wildcat Management, owned by Tanya Ragan, is expanding its pawprint into further reaches of North Texas. The project, called Castle Ranch, is expected to break ground in 2024. This $150 million mixed-use development will include multifamily, townhomes, retail, and live/work space, all activated by pocket parks, walkable streets, sidewalks, and pedestrian paths.

Castle Ranch will create an entirely new district, built from the ground up, that will connect to the extensive city trail system, an adjacent dog park, and a city park that has been in the works since the approval by city taxpayers in November 2022. The project constitutes one of the largest contiguous parcels within Mansfield and is within walking distance to downtown, entertainment, shopping, and restaurants. Geographically, Castle Ranch boasts beautiful, sweeping landscapes and green spaces, yet is only minutes away from major highways such as I-20 and Hwy 287.

Says Ragan: “I am excited about the opportunity to apply Wildcat’s years of community building and urban renewal experience in downtown Dallas toward Mansfield’s visionary efforts. Our public-private partnership will yield benefits to generations of Mansfield’s citizens.”

Working with local officials and area stakeholders, Wildcat Management aims to enhance the western side of town and bring value to Mansfield as a whole. Wildcat Management will maintain many interests in downtown Dallas, including housing its corporate headquarters. As Wildcat Management expands its development reach, more announcements will be made soon.

Wildcat Management is a woman-owned real estate investment, development, and management company. Wildcat takes on mission-driven projects and strategic public-private sector partnerships in the hopes of sparking economic turnaround and community growth. Wildcat Management continues to drive positive transformation for local communities across the country.

New Film Studio To Break Ground In North Texas in 2023

Following the announcement of Universal Studios and Peppa Pig theme parks, the city of Mansfield is bringing a piece of Hollywood to Dallas-Fort Worth by approving a 72-acre film studio development.According to ...

Following the announcement of Universal Studios and Peppa Pig theme parks, the city of Mansfield is bringing a piece of Hollywood to Dallas-Fort Worth by approving a 72-acre film studio development.

According to WFAA, the development, called Super Studios, aims to attract streaming services not only by supplying space and equipment for big-budget film and TV show productions but also by providing cast and crew members with a mini-city complete with restaurants, hotels, coffee shops and retail space.

“It’s like a mini city, which is something that is attractive when you’re not in the Hollywood area,” Angel Gracia, CEO of Concrete Visions, the company behind the project, told The Dallas Morning News. “Filmmakers want to have things nearby they can quickly use.”

García is a lifelong filmmaker and director based in Portland who spotted a niche in the film industry — high-end soundstages to meet the increasing stream services demand. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a soundstage boom that followed the COVID-19 pandemic saturated the Los Angeles production companies that can’t keep up with the demand of streaming services like Netflix that lease production facilities for multiple years.

In addition to Manfield’s film studio, which will have five studio clusters, each with its own sound stages and mill space, García is moving forward with a similar 45-acre development in Banning, California with four studio clusters. Unlike Mansfield’s studio, Banning’s won’t include surrounding hotels, restaurants and retail.

After discussing the project with several cities in North Texas, Mansfield came up with the best proposal for the development. “They were not only understanding about it, they gave us the best place to do it with the best conditions and the best location,” Gracia said.

This could mean a big opportunity for the city, which has been looking for ways to bring office space and diverse industries, given that more than 90% of Mansfield’s population works outside the city. The project has a starting cost of $70 million and is expected to create 2,000 jobs without counting construction jobs.

According to García, on average, the lowest-paid crew member on a film set would make between $1,800 and $5,000 a week. “Most of our young students, when they graduate high school, they leave the city and they can’t afford to come back,” said Jason Moore, executive director of the Mansfield Economic Development Corp. “So this provides some job opportunities that could keep them here, keep them local in Mansfield. That’s what we’re most excited about.”

The city expects to break ground on Mansfield Super Studios in 2023.
