The Furman Family is excited to announce their purchase of Wellington Square, located at 1619 S. Kentucky in Amarillo, a news release says, noting the real estate transaction officially closed on Aug. 1.
“I’ve been going to Wellington Square since I was a kid,” said Daryl Furman in the release. “It’s such a unique complex, and we’re really excited about its future.”
Wellington Square is located at Interstate 40 and Georgia, one of the busiest intersections in the city according to the release, “with an estimated 87,000 cars passing by daily. The complex features 104,000 square feet of space and includes a hidden gem — a beautifully enclosed courtyard that offers a great outdoor venue, even on the windiest Panhandle days.”
Construction began in September 1976. With an estimated cost of $7.5 million, Wellington Square was originally built by a Dallas-based group that modeled the design after the Old Town Shopping Center. Since its opening, the complex has become a thriving hub of activity as a home to numerous Amarillo businesses over the years.
