Fort Worth Developers Plan 1.7M-SF Downtown Mixed-Use Project
The Fort Worth City Council recently heard a proposal for a major mixed-use development at the former site of the Fort Worth ISD administrative offices and an adjacent car lot. Developers Larkspur Capital and the Keystone Group presented plans for Westside Village, an ambitious project that would transform the area with 1.7 million square feet of new construction by 2035.
The proposed development includes 880,000 square feet of office space, 238,000 square feet of retail, a 175-room hotel, and nearly 1,800 residential units. The project is scheduled to be built in four phases over a 10-year timeline, beginning in 2025.
In response to the proposal, the city has offered a $125 million incentive package to support the development. The incentives are intended to fund essential infrastructure improvements including flood control measures, upgraded streetscapes, and other public amenities crucial to the project’s success.
The Fort Worth ISD sold its longtime administrative building in 2020 for $4.96 million and moved to a new location on Camp Bowie Boulevard. Around the same time, local auto dealership Autobahn sold its adjacent property and also relocated.
Westside Village is set to become a landmark project aimed at reshaping Fort Worth’s urban landscape and enhancing the area’s economic vitality.
