West 7th expansion + 2022 Winter Restaurant Week

January 10, 2022

Hello Thursday.

January 20 2022

 

West 7th aims to turn heads

By next summer, the West 7th District will become an entertainment playground where people can work, live, and play — thanks to The Van Zandt project.

 

The area is already a hotspot for happy hours, late-night bites, and walkable nightlife, making it a standout Fort Worth neighborhood. This latest project will only add to the area’s appeal.

The project will break ground in the first quarter of 2022 | Rendering via Holland Basham

Last week, the Omaha-based developer Goldenrod Companies announced plans to break ground on the $83 million Van Zandt project by April. The mixed-use development will sit on the northeast corner of Foch Street and West 7th streets — at 2816 West 7th St. 

 

Here’s what we know

 

The project will include a nine-story, 100,000-sqft office space — which will be the first speculative office development built in Fort Worth since 2017. It will also feature a 10-story, 150 multi-family unit apartment complex + parking garage and retail space.

Here’s what else we can expect

  • 10,500 sqft of retail and dining space
  • Indoor and outdoor meeting areas
  • Lounge areas
  • Fitness center
  • Swimming pool

The pool will be complete just in time for summer |  Rendering via Holland Basham 

The project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2023. And that’s not all Goldenrod is working on — just down the street at 1001 University Dr. (between Morton and Bledsoe streets) the developer is working on a separate project that will include a hotel, apartment units, and office and retail space. That project will begin in 2024.

📸 @Magnolia Network

There’s a lot of stardom in Fort Worth (here’s an overview in case you missed it) + local entrepreneur and owner of Hotel Dryce Jonathan Morris is getting in on the action. 


With the official launch of the Magnolia Network — you know, the one created by Chip and Joanna Gaines — it’s only fitting to highlight Jonathan’s show, Self Employed, where he talks to small business owners, including local favorites like MELT Ice Creams and the Fort Worth Film Commission about how they turned their dreams into a reality. You can watch his show now on the Magnolia App and Discovery+.
