GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas – IKEA officials recently announced that steel framing has progressed enough that installation of iconic blue panels has begun on its future Grand Prairie, Texas store. Installing blue panels is a construction milestone that keeps the store on track to open fall of 2017 as the second Metroplex store for IKEA, and reflects the unique architectural design for which the company is known worldwide.
The 290,000-square-foot future IKEA Grand Prairie and its 1,100 parking spaces will be built on 30 acres along the eastern side of State Highway 161 and Mayfield Road, north of Interstate-20, approximately 14 miles west of downtown Dallas and 18 miles east of downtown Fort Worth.
IKEA also will evaluate potential onsite power generation to complement its current U.S. goal of a renewable energy presence at nearly 90 percent of its U.S. locations. Five hundred jobs are expected during construction.
