Development
Keller continues to see strong and steady economic growth, with more than $226 million in
commercial development and nearly 400 new businesses joining the community over the past
five years. Notable large projects have included the additions of Sam’s Club, The Bowden
Wedding and Event Center, The Birch Racquet and Lawn Club, Moviehouse and Eatery,
Shannon Brewing Company and Baylor Emergency Medical Center.
It’s not just the large projects that make Keller unique among Northeast Tarrant County cities,
though; Keller also continues to attract independent business owners looking to get their start
— or expand their successful DFW-based concepts — into a community that strongly supports
local businesses. Recent examples of these have included Nikko Blu Gallery and Boutique, craft
beer outlet What’s on Tap, brunch favorite Seven Mile Café and train-themed American sit-
down The Station Icehouse Patio.
“Best Places to Buy
a Home in Texas”
We’ve also made our mark as a city that
welcomes popular regional chains making their
debut into Texas or the western portion of the
Metroplex. The Colorado-based concepts of
Rush Bowls as well as The Lost Cajun recently
-Lend EDU
joined the city’s business lineup, and Korean-
fusion hotspot, LA Burger, selected Keller as its first Tarrant County home. Staff continues to pursue
offerings that will set Keller apart from its national chain-heavy neighbors.
In 2019, Keller is anticipating the opening of Chandon Arbors, a 14,000-square-foot state-of-
the-art luxury wedding and event venue situated on 3 acres in Old Town Keller. Area residents
will also see construction in Keller Town Center on the city’s first hotel — a 110-room Hampton
Inn & Suites — and an associated full-service restaurant. And on South Main Street, Everest
Rehabilitation Hospital has announced plans to break ground on a 40,000-square-foot, 36-bed
physical rehabilitation hospital and outpatient therapy center. A complete inventory of Keller’s
business community can be explored online at www.keepitinkeller.com.
