Wow, that would be a big addition. Ive been hoping for something to build taller on the north side of 7th. This is the site of the proposed hotel before the pandemic. When that fell through, I figured we wouldnt see something as tall. Hope this happens!

You are right, here's the thread on that. The drawing indicates 120 feet, which I believe is the highest MU-2 can go.

Very nice.  This will create a nice look sitting directly across from the West 7th office building.

I'm really excited about this project.  Hopefully it will come to fruition.  I'm wondering if this will be the largest structure on W. 7th.  I don't think anything else is above 8 floors.

I thought once things permits were issued the bulldozers were pretty quick to show up.

 

I've been surprised to see no activity at this site over the past few months

I'm not surprised.  This is not the only project to lay dormant after it gets the official go-ahead.  Even that simple Q-T project off Henderson at Lancaster has been delayed for months and only recently did graders clear the site.

My Sunday-morning idea: Do a land swap between the blue arrows I drew on this screenshot.

Then, the rental-car business can have a straight-shot parking lot that runs all the way through the block north to south, and the new development can have its dog park on a contiguous plot a bit closer to the residences.

It looks like that little parking lot is under the same ownership as the building fronting 7th. If they sold both the lot and the building the proposal by Goldenrod could be a a few feet wider. This building is occupied now by Magee Architects.

Oh, duh, okay -- I mixed up the Enterprise rental car business building and the Magee Architects building. My land swap idea makes less sense to me if it's not serving the needs of the rental car business, but I still think it would be an elegant way to consolidate the new Van Zandt development into contiguous lots.

Is the building to the right of the clearing in the second picture not included in the Van Zandt project? With the exception of the corner, it is also unoccupied and in poor condition.

Because I'm pretty sure McGee Architects still occupies that space.

Looking at Google Maps street view, I think youre right! I walk by this building every day and have long thought it was closed and boarded up. Guess I never stopped to look closely. With the windows covered basically all the time, it definitely doesnt seem inviting from W 7th. Thanks for the correction!

Yeah that is the location with McGee and also Snap Kitchen.  Those 2 places were the only storefronts that looked nice on that stretch.  Really looking forward to this and I hope it happens and doesn't get down graded or value engineered.

I'm not seeing any new permits or TDLR entries on this.  Maybe they are still working on the permit set?

The building is now leasing and the packet includes new renderings. See more here.
 

 

At the intersection of culture and connectivity is The Van Zandt. Nestled in the Cultural District along West 7th, this ground-breaking mixed-use development will share its home with a thriving entertainment district, home to restaurants, pubs, and some of the world’s top museums. 

Touting uninterrupted views of downtown in the most highly desired location in the city, The Van Zandt is an urban masterpiece specifically designed to appeal to the Class A office user, blending sophistication with the perfect touch of western edge, in a modern, urban, walkable environment.
The Van Zandt will break ground in March of 2022 as the first speculative office development in Fort Worth since 2017. The high-profile project will sit at the northwest corner of Foch Street and West 7th Street and will include approximately 99,400 square feet of Class AA office space, 147 multi-family units, and 11,600 square feet of high-end retail and dining space.

The renderings has me confused. The project surrounds Veritex bank on two sides ? But I see nothing close to the parking lot, being cleared to make way for the multi family building ?

The bank likely negotiated parking space in the new parking garage. Based on the site prep, the office building and parking garage will be started before the residential units.

According to the Star Telegram article they are expecting to break ground in April and deliver by 2023.

 

That does seem like a quick turnaround time for a project of this size.

I've looked for grading or building permits on this.  They have the razing permit for 2816 W 7th that I posted a while back but I'll keep my eyes out for any others.  I imagine they are still finalizing the drawings.

Based on Crestine October 10 post you see the Muti-Family building running behind the length of the new office building and the Bank. But based on Austin55 November 28 post. The area "cleared" does not make more room for the Multi-Family building ? I guess is the multi-family building will come at a later date ?

I'm just guessing they're waiting to demo the parking lot at a later date.  Unless I'm misunderstanding the renderings, this is essentially one building with a parking/retail podium that spans the entire project.

After looking at this design more, I think the way it fronts 7th Street at the street level could be improved.  Am a little concerned that won't feel quite right, especially how it hides behind columns.  How it meets the sidewalk is really important to how it feels from the pedestrian level.   Also not in love with the garage screening.  Could probably be tweaked to look less like a massive car box hovering.

I noticed that yesterday and thought the same myself.  I think they were waiting for 7th street to be completed so they can commence with construction.  The curbs and driveways are always nice to have to cut out of the timeline... and possibly the budget.

For some reason I thought they started months ago but now that you mentioned it I think M&F just posted that rendering on LinkedIn.
