$1.7B Westside Village Advances Through First-Phase Construction
The 37-acre district combines housing, offices, retail and hospitality. Its initial construction phase is one part of a multiyear development program.
Westside Village is taking shape west of downtown Fort Worth, where a long-term $1.7 billion mixed-use plan is moving through its first construction phase. Keystone Group and Larkspur Capital are developing the district at 100 N. University Drive, with housing and commercial uses intended to form a walkable neighborhood.
The latest October construction update identifies a $46.3 million building permit for 308 multifamily units. That permit is a defined component of the reported $410 million first-phase investment, while the $1.7 billion figure describes the wider development vision. The three values should not be treated as separate awards to be added together.

A first phase with shared infrastructure
The development team describes two initial mixed-use buildings linked by a common parking structure. Office space and ground-floor retail sit alongside a residential building with apartments, live-work accommodation and additional retail. That arrangement means the early phase must deliver shared access and infrastructure as well as individual buildings.
The district’s broader plan includes approximately 880,000 square feet of office space, 238,000 square feet of retail, 1,785 residences and a hotel reported at 150 rooms. These are full-development planning figures, not the amount of space now complete or necessarily under construction at the same time.
Public spaces are part of the development plan
The developer’s project description emphasizes pedestrian passages, plazas, courtyards and connections to the Upper West Fork trail system. It also anticipates adaptive reuse of selected industrial buildings, alongside new construction.
Fort Worth’s community-facilities documentation separately identifies water, sewer, paving, drainage, streetlighting and traffic-signal works for Phase I. The district’s reported incentives and infrastructure support should therefore be understood in relation to specific agreements and delivery obligations, rather than as an unconditional payment for the entire master plan.
Completion dates need to be read by phase
October reporting gives an end-of-2030 target for Phase I and 2035 for the overall development. Earlier 2026 coverage described a 2028 first-phase completion. Those dates have not been reconciled by a newly verified developer schedule, so the later dates remain reported targets rather than firm commitments.
The project is already in construction; the October coverage should not be framed as its first groundbreaking. Progress on the initial buildings, shared parking and public infrastructure will provide more useful evidence of delivery than applying the full district budget to a single permit.
