BluSky provides restoration and reconstruction services for water and fire damage, according to its website.

The business will be located at 720 Industrial Blvd., Ste. 200, in the Heritage Business Park. It will move into a vacant 14,381-square-foot spot, according to council documents.

According to the tax records from the Tarrant Appraisal District, the location was owned by Way Mechanical in 2025.

Crash Champions

A collision repair operation will include vehicle bays for on-site repairs. According to the presentation, the average repair time is between nine days and 15 days, which would lead to some overnight car storage.

There will be a 6-foot solid wood fence installed for the vehicles that will be kept overnight.

Work on the property, located at 900 Port America Place, will include adding four trees along Minters Chapel Road and the installation of a 24-foot-wide fire lane that would include a compliant turnaround, according to city documents.

Crash Champions will use 25,101 square feet for repair space, office operations, a paint booth and storage. The location was previously occupied by Elite Material Handling, which moved, according to its website. Nearly 10,000 square feet will be available for a future tenant, according to the presentation.

According to its website, there are 42 Crash Champions locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Nationwide, Crash Champions has 650 locations in 37 states and Washington, D.C., according to the presentation.

Empire Sound and Security

Mohammad “Moe” Awad applied to open a third Dallas-Fort Worth area location for Empire Sound and Security, but was denied 5-2 by the council, with Chris Coy and Duff O’Dell voting in favor of the conditional use permit request.

The motion was denied by planning and zoning, 4-3.

Awad, when speaking to both bodies, said he was born in Grapevine and grew up in the area.

He said he operates locations in McKinney and Dallas. The business installs audio and video equipment, security systems and window tints.

Awad said all installations would be inside the location at 303 W. Northwest Highway, Ste. D, that would have a small showroom and install bay.
