Fort Worth

The $200 million West 7th project has delayed its grand opening amidst development changes.

The grand opening for the West 7th Development project has been pushed back to March 2010 as development changes take place. The development team of Cypress Equities has made plans to cancel the hotel development and instead replace it with more multi-family homes.

Given the slowdown of the hotel industry in Fort Worth, the developers of the West 7th project, including Kirk Williams, vice president of development for Cypress Equities, have decided to instead set their sights on multifamily housing that will produce rental income for the development.

Other changes to the West 7th project include: putting a hold on the construction of the second office building until a new tenant can be secured; and eliminating Fort Worth City Market from the project.

Positive signs of the West 7th project include: the completion of several retail spaces and the extension of the Lofts at West 7th, following the termination of the boutique hotel project. The expansion of the Lofts at West 7th, if approved, will add 100 more units to the development.

Cypress Equities is considering the expansion of the Lofts at West 7th primarily because it will be the only new construction of rental apartments along the West 7th Corridor. The Lofts at West 7th opened to its first residents on September 12. Currently, 77 of the 345 apartments have been leased.

The property is being managed by Lincoln Property Company, a Dallas-based company.

About the West 7th Project

Located along West 7th Street in Fort Worth, the West 7th Project will include 106,000 square feet of office space; 345 apartment homes; and 240,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.

Four retail tenants are expected to open in October and two tenants are sited to move into the office portion of the development in late November.

Why we Love Fort Worth Urban Living

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

If the outstanding business opportunities and the low cost of living doesn’t lure you to Fort Worth, then the brilliant urban atmosphere certainly will.

Living in urban Fort Worth offers such extraordinary cultural and recreational experiences that they are perhaps only trumped by the upscale real estate found here.

The historic preservation found throughout urban Fort Worth has earned this city the nickname of the “City of Cowboys and Culture.” A revitalized downtown area, an unsurpassed cultural arts district and, of course, its famous heritage and history, have all made urban Fort Worth an incredibly popular place to call home.

This southwest urban center has several, unique sites that make Fort Worth urban living truly special:

  • Fort Worth Stockyards – Admitted to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, this 15-block section of Fort Worth speaks of the city’s Southwest roots. Just some of the fun and exciting sites found within the Fort Worth Stockyards include the Fort Worth Herd, the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, the Stockyards Station and the Cowtown Coliseum.
  • Fort Worth Cultural District – The cultural institutions of Fort Worth are the essence of the city. From western heritage museums to cutting-edge, modern art museums, cultural activity is alive and well within the Fort Worth Cultural District. Just some of the museums found here include the Kimbell Art Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Cowgirl Museum and the Will Rogers Memorial Center.
  • Sundance Square – Within Fort Worth’s dynamic downtown area is Sundance Square, an outstanding entertainment district that features such charming details as brick-paved streets, quaint shops and galleries and upscale restaurants. The historic, turn-of-the-century buildings further add to the Western ambience found here.

There’s one thing for certain: urban Fort Worth living is anything but dull. From the outstanding real estate choices to the superb surroundings, city living is the name of the game in Fort Worth.
