A $71 million affordable housing community is planned for the northeast corner of North Main Street and 29th Street near the Fort Worth Stockyards. The project is positioned within the city’s Northside area, adding new multifamily supply close to one of Fort Worth’s most recognizable destinations.
Fort Worth Housing Solutions and Oldham Goodwin Development intend to develop the community, to be known as The Exchange Apartments, on a 14-acre site within the Stockyards North mixed-use development. According to information cited from the Fort Worth Report, the project is designed as a 296-unit complex with a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans aimed at expanding the local stock of affordable housing on the Northside.
Plans call for a full slate of resident amenities. Once completed, The Exchange Apartments is expected to feature a pool, fitness center, clubhouse, dog park and grilling areas, along with other outdoor spaces. Officials also anticipate future trail connectivity, tying the community into a broader network of outdoor and recreational options as the area builds out.
The Exchange Apartments is one component of the larger Stockyards North mixed-use development. Beyond the residential portion, Stockyards North is planned to include a Home2 Suites hotel by Hilton as well as retail stores, restaurants and other commercial spaces, creating a walkable environment with hospitality and shopping options near the new apartments.
Several additional firms are participating in the Stockyards-area apartment development. Strategic Construction is involved on the construction side, while Sage Architectural Alliance and Kimley-Horn are contributing design and engineering services. Amegy Bank is also listed among the companies involved in the project.
As envisioned, The Exchange Apartments will add hundreds of affordable units in a location that connects established neighborhoods on Fort Worth’s Northside with a growing mixed-use destination at Stockyards North. The combination of residential, hotel, retail and restaurant uses underscores the continued evolution of the broader Stockyards area as a multiuse urban district.
