The Historic Southside and Evans & Rosedale Urban Village is a vibrant district located less than five minutes from Downtown Fort Worth, and 10 minutes away from most attractions in Fort Worth. A former hub of Black commerce, the Historic Southside has housed many of the Fort Worth's (and even the nation's) first black entrepreneurs and is an extremely important part of the city's history.
The City of Fort Worth has invested over $30 million into the area's infrastructure, redevelopment, and planning efforts since the late 1990s.
Now, with the recent termination of the previous developer, the City of Fort Worth is ready to move forward with a new master developer to make the community's vision a reality – developing several parcels of city-owned land to reactivate the commercial corridor on Evans Avenue, while also honoring and celebrating the historic legacy of the surrounding neighborhood.
The City of Fort Worth has launched an RFEI to find a new master developer for the Evans & Rosedale urban village in the Historic Southside, a former hub of Black commerce that has been home to many renowned Black entrepreneurs and prominent Fort Worthians both past and present.
This is an opportunity for an experienced mixed-use developer to work on a multi-block, six-acre greenfield site located five minutes from Downtown Fort Worth – the urban core of one of the fastest-growing large cities in the U.S. The site is also located next to I-35 South, has already been zoned, and is ready for development.

NOTE: To keep this process fair and equitable amount multiple competitors, the City of Fort Worth is unable to provide information to one development team that is not also available to others. City staff – including the Development Services Department – will not be hosting pre-development conferences (PDCs) nor will they be available to answer questions until after the RFEI process has been completed. Thanks for your understanding.
