On Tuesday, Fort Worth city councilmembers approved the sale of 36 lots of land for the Evans and Rosedale development project. Royal Capital — the project’s master developer — has committed $61 million for the project + intends to hire locals within the Historic Southside. The lots were sold for $1 each.
