Here's an article including a small rendering and siteplan. I really love the sound of this project. Phase 1 will have 156 units and 10 live/work spaces. It will also have heavy orientation towards cyclists. There will also be a retail slot. Building will be 4 floors total.
The apartment community will have a bike room where cyclists can store and work on their bicycles. In addition, Criterion will have a bike share station on its site and is in talks with other businesses to get them to allow bike share stations on their property, particularly in the direction of Sundance Square.
Phase two will be to the east of phase one and have around 200 additional units.

I also think this could tie into the trails and help the area near Martin House and Top Golf get a boost.
Race goes down to Oakhurst Scenic Drive and Riverside Park, which connects to the trails. Adding some infrastructure to make that connection easier at the foot of Race Street would facilitate bicycle traffic going toward the river. That's a pretty steep climb up from the river though, I would would also look into a road diet/bike lane/sharrows along Sylvania, all the way down to 4th St. The tricky part is getting past both Belknap and 121. I personally have done it and don't think it's too bad for a bicycle, but more timid riders would probably not attempt that, nor would they be able to climb Sylvania up from the river.

This should start construction around April next year.

Demolition permits have been filed for all the buildings in the way of this project. Some of them had some interesting paint jobs. Hopefully the new construction doesnt detract from the interesting character of the area.

I believe this is part of the Race Street project (?). Story of today's ground breaking in the FW Business Press.

Nice to see another large urban project in this city. That said, I'm also a little concerned about how this will change the feel of the area.

I have a page on Facebook called Fort Worth Bicycle Picture Tag. The idea is to take a picture of your bicycle in front of a piece of art somewhere in the city. Then other people ride out to the site and take a picture of their bike in front of the art. Whoever gets there first and posts a picture of their bike with the art is "it" and then they can post their bike in a new location in front of a new piece of art for others to find. The current picture up until today was this:
But based on this thread I feared that mural is no longer there. I rode out there today; I was right:
The mural was on the last building before the one with the green wall that still stands. So I changed the picture to one at the other end of the block. It's being used as part of the construction perimeter so it's probably not going anywhere soon.

A real loss. I hope that Six Points can continue to be a "Mural-hood" and that there will be new murals dotting the area.
Doohickie, thanks for having the sound judgement to get a picture of the mural before it was demolished.

Growing quickly.

Starting to wrap up

They need to hurry up on that street. It is really hurting the businesses.

Here's the website for this project - "The Union". Now preleasing. I'm updating the thread title.

Wow, $1.75 per sq ft per month seems pretty pricey.
I wonder how much of that cost can be attributed to the cost needed to subsidize/fund the parking structure...

These developers are nuts. Someone is going to be holding the bag when Class A multi-family rolls over, and I wouldn't want to own anything that isn't in the best locations. It wasn't long ago that $1.75 was prime W. 7th St. rents. Now it's Race Street?

I think when Firestone opened around 1999 rents were just under $1/SF and people were saying that seemed high at the time. Has been almost 20 years, so seems reasonable for new construction Downtown to be around $2/SF today.

This could be one of the last mixed-used projects in and around Fort Worth for awhile. Hope not.

The entire block behind this has been cleared, along Belknap. Anyone know whats going here?
Posted 15 October 2019 - 04:11 PM
Union River East Phase II will be in the cleared lot to the south (pictured in post above) according to the River East leasing packet.
