Fort Worth Embraces Future with Green-Lit Rezoning for Accessible, Community-Focused Housing on University Drive

A major rezoning project to change the housing scene along North University Drive has received approval from the City Council. The Spring Hill Apartments and Spring Glen Apartments in Council District 9 will create a new vision that combines shared community areas, improved accessibility, and affordable accommodation. The decision, as explained by the City of Fort Worth, maintains a multifamily focus while creating chances for commercial space that is arranged to improve the urban street front’s walkability.

The plan’s major component is that Fort Worth Affordability Inc. will continue to own both land parcels, guaranteeing the availability of affordable housing options. Built in the nostalgic year of 1962, the existing 430 apartments will be replaced by buildings that encourage people to interact in open spaces that go beyond the city’s minimum requirements for open space. According to reports, the phased development will begin in 2026 with the building of 350 residential apartments and office space, with the construction of an additional 325 units scheduled to begin in 2029.

The project’s enormous scope is described in the city’s release, which also reveals a number of on-site amenities that will improve the quality of life for residents. A 10,000-square-foot indoor amenity area with co-working spaces, a fitness facility, and a club room for business and play will be available to future residents. Additionally, residents may look forward to the addition of a dog park, a swimming pool, and areas for outdoor activities, which will add recreational and social elements to everyday life.
