Gary Walker, an active redeveloper in downtown Arlington, has purchased Vandergriff Town Center. The 28,211-square-foot Vandergriff Town Center at 200 N. Mesquite St. shares cross parking and access with The Historic Vandergriff at 255 N. Center St. Walker acquired that 15,085-square-foot property in the early 2000s and secured its listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
“I want to continue to improve that block in the downtown. It’s a special place to me, where I want to be personally invested,” said Walker, president of SkyWalker Property Partners and managing principal of Hangover Opportunity Fund. “I plan on holding it long-term, along with the Vandergriff Building.”
Both projects are now 100 percent leased. SkyWalker Property Partners last year relinquished its second-floor headquarters space in Vandergriff Town Center as part of the fund’s planned divestiture. The entire vacancy recently has been backfilled by Go Management, which owns and manages several Keller Williams Realty franchise offices in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Walker’s influence on downtown Arlington is visible in the number of projects with which he has been involved. As a young commercial agent, he aided city leaders Tom Cravens and Jerry Jordan in crafting strategic plans for the city’s downtown. Through the years, Walker has renovated four additional buildings and introduced other investors and tenants to opportunities in the city center to spur its revitalization. He formerly served on several municipality-related advisory boards.
