The dirt is officially turning on a $1.7 billion, 37-acre mixed-use complex called Westside Village in west Fort Worth.
Located at the northeast corner of University Drive and White Settlement Road (encompassing the now-razed Fort Worth ISD headquarters), Westside Village will be home to:
- a 308-unit luxury multifamily community
- a 100,000-square-foot Class AA office building with premier workspace
- ground-floor retail
- two restaurant concepts
- a private social club
- a below-grade jazz club
And that's just Phase 1, according to a release.
Details of the most exciting parts for the general public - the restaurants and underground jazz club - are still to come.
An indoor-outdoor entertainment venue called The Shed is in the works during Phase 1, too.
At full build-out, Westside Village will offer about 880,000 square feet of Class AA office space, 238,000 square feet of retail, 1,785 residential units, and a luxury boutique hotel, developers say.
The complex, along the West Fork of the Trinity River, will be a walkable urban village. All the buildings will be connected by a shared underground parking garage designed to support a walkable, integrated environment, the release says.
Moss Construction, a nationally recognized construction firm, has broken ground on the master-planned district, which is being developed by FW Westside RE Investors LLC, a partnership between Keystone Group, LP and Larkspur Capital LP.
“Phase I of Westside Village brings together multifamily and office construction on a shared site, requiring tight coordination and disciplined execution,” said Josh Carson, vice president at Moss Construction, in a statement. “Our team is excited to move into construction and deliver the first phase of a long-term mixed-use district for Fort Worth.”
The Phase I office building was designed by Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, with Corgan as architect. Corgan is also designing the multifamily building, which will include residential units, live-work spaces, and ground-floor retail. GGN landscape firm is leading the design of the district’s public spaces.
“Breaking ground on the first phase of Westside Village marks a major milestone in advancing this long-term vision,” said Schafer Smartt, vice president of development at Larkspur Capital in a statement. “From the outset, the district is designed to integrate office, residential, retail, hospitality and public spaces into a walkable, connected environment that delivers lasting value for Fort Worth.”
Phase 1 is targeted for completion in 2028.
