FORT WORTH—As part of the revitalization of the Stop Six neighborhood, Renaissance Square will provide mixed-income and senior housing options. To that effort, construction is underway for the first phase of the Columbia at Renaissance Square development in the southeast part of the city.
“This groundbreaking is an exciting next step in the overall revitalization efforts in our Stop Six neighborhood. Starting first in Renaissance Square, these apartments coming in will not only provide an excellent housing option, but also pair nicely with our city-wide efforts to focus on health, education and engagement,” said Fort Worth mayor Betsy Price. “I am confident that by growing the relationships with our already strong partners in the area we will continue to increase the vibrancy in this community for years to come.”
Columbia Renaissance Square will consist of three phases of mixed-income housing. The project closed in August 2016 and is expected to be completed by late 2017. Columbia Residential has already started construction on Phase I, which will include 140 units of mixed-income housing comprised of high-quality, sustainable design and construction. Phase II will contain 120 units of senior housing and is expected to begin construction in early in 2017.
“BBVA Compass is proud to support a project that will put affordable housing within reach for the people of Fort Worth,” said BBVA Compass Fort Worth CEO Brian Happel. “We want to be an engine of opportunity in this city, and our work at Columbia Renaissance Square puts a big exclamation point on that statement for us.”
The vision for Columbia Renaissance Square includes a master planned community with a number of community assets that will be available for residents.
“With construction of Phase I underway, Fort Worth is one step closer to providing an affordable housing option that will not only offer top-quality apartments but amenities such as a farmer's market, health clinic and a YMCA, that allow residents to live conveniently and comfortably,” Brian Webster, executive vice president of KWA Construction, tells GlobeSt.com.
The development partner is Columbia Renaissance Square I LP and KWA Construction is the general contractor. Other key partners involved in the project are Columbia Residential, the city of Fort Worth, BBVA Compass Bank, RBC Capital Markets and Renaissance Heights United.
“Columbia at Renaissance Square is the result of hard work between all of our partners for the benefit of the future residents that will occupy this remarkable development,” said Noel Khalil, chairman and CEO of Columbia Residential. “Our goal is to transform the existing site and provide high-quality and sustainable affordable housing for the people of Fort Worth to be proud of and enjoy for years to come.”
