#151369 Public Market on Henderson

Posted by Nitixope on 18 March 2024 - 10:08 AM

I watched the meeting but it did not have any audio for me, so I did not hear any discussion or decisions. I also did not hear what the plan for the Public Market was, and none of the visuals I saw were clear on that either.

Article about Joe T's being on the market to sell.

I have also heard through the grapevine that he is also purchasing/purchased several lots behind Joe T's along Commerce Street from 21st to 23rd that he plans to redevelop

 

Maybe they'll finally take credit cards.

"Who will be able to afford to live on Fort Worth’s future Panther Island? What we know."
By Harrison Mantas
 

 

 

I'm nervous about stories like this.  No one has been able to live there for so very very many years while the project has just been an expensive stalled idea.  Do I really want pressure on developers to make it less financially attractive to develop?  I also think lots of stories like this are missing the important other side of costs of land and construction -- I honestly don't know how those work out for an area like this, but for sure they must be a part of the conversation.  Would giving some land away for free be enough to meet an affordable goal?  I expect probably not.  I think the best we can hope for is some efficiency-sized units that are a little more affordable simply because they are smaller -- but if it has a bathroom and a kitchen, it is not like the costs are going to scale just by square footage.

 

I can't believe that an increase in inventory will have a long term negative impact on overall housing costs, so in that way every development helps.  The article mentions something akin to gentrification for the surrounding areas.  I don't think neighborhoods are ever static: at any moment they are going up or they are going down in value.  Development inside the loop very often includes some displacement -- I'm not sure that we should be pushing developers to the city limits.

 

 

And it is starting to feel like Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Not too tall, Not too expensive, Not overshadowing downtown, Not displacing anyone.  

 

I ultimately think what the TRV / Northside needs start thinking strategically about is how to clean up and phase out some of these industrial sites and plug some of these gas wells.

#151296 Northside Developments (Non-Stockyards / Non-TRV Projects)

Posted by Nitixope on 13 March 2024 - 06:58 PM

I looked up at my screen and thought I was in the suburbs for a second.  So absolutely no attempt at tailoring the design to be somewhat fitting of the Stockyards area or an urban area for that matter?  It looks like just the same cookie cutter Hampton Inn you'd find off of the interstate.

Here's the Zoning Change filing for 1332 N. Main: (filed 2/5/24)

 

Record ZC-24-012: 
Zoning Change
Record Status: Applied
 
Applicant:
studio97w.com

 

Acres: 1.071

Proposed Use: Mixed Use

 

Project Description:
Gyant Marine Properties Zoning Change
Multiple Lot Zoning Change
Zoning change for the north 25.12 feet of LOT 6 and LOTS 7-11, BLOCK 51, NORTH FORT WORTH ADDITION to be changed from 'J' to 'MU-2'. LOT 17 and the north 40.00 feet of LOT 18, BLOCK 51 and LOT 12, BLOCK 52, NORTH FORT WORTH ADDITION to be changed from 'B' to 'MU-2'.

 

 

Paraphrasing S-T article:

 

They want to create individual shops (24,000 square feet) for local business owners.  They see having a restaurant on one side and perhaps a Mexican-themed ice cream and snack business.
Upstairs will be converted into12,000 square feet of (16) residential apartments.

#151273 Northside Developments (Non-Stockyards / Non-TRV Projects)

Posted by Nitixope on 12 March 2024 - 08:51 PM

I dont have any backing evidence handy, but this isnt the first time Ive seen development news given a slight negative headline by the Star Telegram. Perhaps sign of the times, intentionally trying to get engagement on social media from the NIMBY crowd. Why not focus on the employment opportunities, tax revenue, and what it means for the neighborhood.

Its not the best location, but its a lower cost option for people to visit the Stockyards.


I thought the article addressed both sides of the conversation from the community members but was unable to reach the developer for comment.

It looks like the Hampton is also Oldham Goodwin. Same architecture team as the Springhill too. 6 story/149 rooms.
