City Profile

building, which is listed on National Register of Historic Places, seek to complete associated public improvements
with the assistance of the Lancaster Tax Increment Financing District (TIF).

The Lancaster TIF District is also instrumental in the development of a new residential development in downtown.
The Deco 969 broke ground in October 2021. In addition to 27 floors of residential units, retail and restaurant
space will also be included. In the northeast quadrant of downtown, more housing is being developed at The
Huntley. This multifamily development will provide 51% of its units as affordable housing. The vacant lot to be
developed is located just a few short blocks from the Trinity River and the Tarrant Count College – Trinity River
Campus.
The Central City Flood Control Project and Panther Island continue to develop. The White Settlement Bridge, the
first of three bridges constructed to provide access to Panther Island, was completed in April 2021. The North
Main Street Bridge opened in June, followed by the Henderson Street Bridge in October 2021. These three bridges
will greatly increase connectivity between Panther Island and the rest of the city.

Development along the Trinity River is also underway west of downtown. The River District master planned mixed-
use neighborhood off White Settlement Road will see new multifamily with the Stillwater Crystal Springs
development. This development adds direct access to the Trinity River and the Trinity Trails system. On the
northern banks of the Trinity River south of Chisholm Trail Parkway, the Clearfork Mixed-Use development
continues to expand. Senior housing is planned to complement the existing multifamily projects completed in
previous phases to create a more multi-generational community. Located along the Clear Fork of the Trinity,
residents will have access to the area’s medical and retail establishments, along with recreational access to the
river.

South of downtown, the Near Southside continues add new development and repurpose historic structures at a
brisk pace. A new mixed-use development is underway in the Magnolia Urban Village at the corner of Magnolia
and Hemphill. This project includes retail, office space, and structured parking. In the nearby South Main Urban
Village, more adaptive reuse projects and new mixed-use buildings have been added along the reconstructed
South Main Street and adjacent local streets. The recently completed Broadstone Southside building added 180
pedestrian-oriented multifamily units in the neighborhood. A new park known as “The Skinny” provides additional
gathering spaces for the many new residents of this active and engaging urban neighborhood.

New suburban subdivisions continue to add thousands of news homes to the Fort Worth housing market to
accommodate population growth. New developments under construction, such as Trails of Elizabeth and Bar C
Ranch, will add over 1,000 new homes each. The recently completed subdivisions of Marine Creek Hills and Marine
Creek Ranch in the Far Northwest, and Primrose Crossing and Summer Creek Ranch Addition in the Far Southwest,
are indicative of the large amounts of growth at the edges of the city.

The City of Fort Worth continues to invest in public infrastructure to improve quality of life for residents. Notably,
a new fire station that broke ground in July 2021 at U.S. 287 and IH-35 was designed in anticipation of future
growth in the area. The City of Fort Worth also invested in new construction at the Village Creek Water
Reclamation Facility to improve the 23-year old plant. Most of the sanitary sewer flow in Tarrant County and a
portion of Johnson County is treated at the plant.
