Major Development

Grapevine Main Station (TexRail)

The 42,000-square-foot rail station opened to the
public in April 2021. This included Peace Plaza
at Grapevine Main Station, which is large
enough to accommodate 3,500 guests and a 150-
foot-tall Observation Tower offering 360-degree
views of the city and beyond. A 38,000-square-
foot Plaza also includes the “Peace Circle” art
display, with larger-than-life bronze sculptures,
depicting an 1843 peace treaty negotiation
between then President of the Texas Republic,
Sam Houston and ten American Indian
Chiefs/leaders.

Trinity Metro’s TexRail commuter rail service
began in January 2019. Since then, over one-
million passengers have used the service which spans from downtown Fort Worth, through
Grapevine, to Terminal B at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Over 150,000 ticketed
passengers have utilized the Grapevine-Main Station keeping it the most popular Saturday
destination for the TexRail system.

Monthly ridership across all nine stations peaked in December 2019 with over 51,000 ticketed
passengers riding TexRail. Throughout the first quarter of 2020 ridership was dramatically
reduced due to travel restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, ridership
has steadily increased as the economy reopened and is now approaching pre-pandemic levels.

Hotel Vin
Opened in September 2020, Hotel Vin serves as
the gateway to Historic Downtown. Located
adjacent to the new TEXRail station, the hotel
invites guests to embrace and explore all it has
to offer, as well as the convenience of being
steps away from wonderful shopping, dining,
and scenery in the Main Street District of
Grapevine.

Hotel vin has 120 guest rooms and nearly 15,000
square feet of indoor and outdoor space, and an
additional 38,000 square feet of outdoor plazas.
