Evans Rosedale Area Revitalization
#1
Posted 21 September 2005 - 11:53 AM
I believe that the establishment of Fort Worth’s “Little New Orleans” would be a tremendous asset to Fort Worth. As I see it now, the Evans and Rosedale Enterprise Zone is languishing and this could certainly become a catalyst for creating something dynamic for a depressed sector of the city.

This looks like an excellent addition to the revitalization efforts in the historic Near Southside:

As the article states Christo Rey is a nationwide project that originated, serves students of all denominations, and stresses college readiness over the standardized testing that drives most public schools. Work-study internships are an integral part of the program and the school is looking for local businesses to partner with.

Small lot but good frontage here esp with the revitalized streets, gutters and sidewalks will make it inviting:

that link is broken for me, too - but it's just the %C2%A0 at the end that causes the problem. if the link doesn't work for you, in the browser remove that from the url and try that.
edit: i guess i could just add the link with that removed:

For $25-30M budget I would have expected multiple levels. If you take away the colorful panels, the structure seems a bit underwhelming thus far. (By the way, what's up with those renderings....seems a bit odd that there's a dance party at a museum?)
As a comparison, the new Dallas Holocaust Museum fundraising exceeded $78M and they (Omniplan) designed a significant (copper-topped) museum.

Two zoning changes: For the Evans & Rosedale Urban Village, a 7.5-acre project that will include apartments, office/retail space, green space, a playground and "efforts to attract a grocer."
The 251-unit luxury apartment complex will be two miles away between Logan and McCurdy streets, still in 76104.

Star-Telegram has more details on the National Juneteenth Museum plans. It will open in summer 2024 with an adjoining food hall and business incubator. The food hall is likened to Crockett Row and will specialize in culturally Black cuisine. The business incubator will promote entrepreneurship, ranging from law to plumbing.

Another food hall that I like is the Minneapolis Midtown Exchange Global Market on Lake Street in the renovated Sears Bldg....tons of variety of cuisine from all over the world. It has a similar feel to Reading Terminal Market in Philly.

Update on Evans Rosedale: https://fortworthgov...10-F80317DC712F
Evans & Rosedale: On October 19, 2021, the City Council approved an allocation of up to $4,245,533.42 from the American Rescue Plan Act Funds, a 15-year Chapter 380 Economic Development Program Agreement for up to $9,000,000 and an additional $7,000,000 committed by TIF 4 for the Evans and Rosedale Redevelopment and Affordable Housing Project. The ARPA funding will pay the fair market value of thirty-six properties being acquired and contributed to the Project, consisting of thirty Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation properties, five Fort Worth Local Development Corporation properties and one City property. The properties were part of the December 2018 Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) in which the City of Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation (HFC), and the Fort Worth Local Development Corporation (LDC) sought a Master Developer arrangement in and near the historic Evans & Rosedale Urban Village. Hoque Global Properties is proposing a two-phased redevelopment that will result in a total of at least $70 million worth of investment; approximately 292 multifamily units, 20 townhomes, and 28 live work units, with at least 20% of the total number of units being affordable; a cultural square; parks, and other public spaces. In April 2022, the City entered into multiple definitive agreements with Hoque Global Development for the project. Currently, the developers are in the pre-development stage with Development Services and seek to close on the properties by December 14, 2022. The developer expects to break ground on Phase I in March or April of 2023.

Thanks Austin. I'm assuming the renderings shared last year are still the plans. They are on their site: https://hoqueglobal....nd-rosedale.php.

I'm glad to see this little church is getting some love. It is also plain to see from the photographs that it was not built in 1962. It was actually constructed in 1929. It also has two individual designations and is located in a National Register Historic District.

I wondered about that TAD 1962 when I was (quickly) posting this earlier but didn't have time to dig into it further or even read the main page. Thanks for clarifying this.
Was 1104 Evans the parsonage? It looks like they had some extra bricks leftover and built a more grand entrance to the porch.

1104 Evans was the parsonage. You also may be correct about the bricks. They are definitely not original on the parsonage.

How about a Deck Park right over I35 connecting Near Southside & Southside. It would speed up the revitalization of the Southside 10 folds.
I think the highway is too high over here. https://goo.gl/maps/HRpMMoXi8YXy2NUw7

I agree. And I would much rather see the millions of dollars this would cost put toward a real public transit system. We've put enough money into freeways in the last 25 years.

So it will be one complex with Missouri Avenue going up through the middle? Or do they want to close off Missouri and take the parcel?

"The city is looking to lure a premiere grocer to the project. The closest grocery store to the Evans/Rosedale area is a Walmart nearly 3 miles away. "
Article links to a piece on HEB. I don't see HEB putting another Central Market six miles away from an existing one.
I think it's more likely that a Kroger or Tom Thumb build one of their high-end brands.
Google Earth view shows several vacant lots fronting Rosedale, so the space is there.
