Westside Village Fort Worth

Starting a $1.7 billion office-anchored district in a market running 24.8 percent office vacancy takes a particular reading of the cycle.

Westside Village occupies 37 acres at University Drive and Westside Drive, on the edge of Fort Worth’s Cultural District west of downtown. Moss and Associates mobilized in early February 2026 and the official groundbreaking followed on 5 March. Full buildout runs roughly 15 years: 880,000 square feet of office, 238,000 square feet of retail, 1,785 residential units, and a luxury hotel.

Project Scope

The developer is FW Westside RE Investors LLC, a partnership between Keystone Group and Larkspur Capital. Michael Hsu Office of Architecture designed the Phase I office building and developed the district master plan. Corgan is architect of record and designed the multifamily building. GGN handles landscape architecture for the district’s public spaces.

Phase I pairs a 100,000 square foot Class AA office building carrying ground-floor retail with a 308-unit luxury residential building, the two connected by a shared underground parking garage. Delivery is targeted for 2028. The office program includes two restaurant concepts, a private social club, and a below-grade jazz club. A later phase may convert a former meat locker on the site into an entertainment venue called The Shed, with 19,100 square feet of covered space and a 23,400 square foot covered patio.

Why It Matters

Cushman and Wakefield had Dallas-Fort Worth office vacancy at 24.8 percent with 2.4 million square feet of annual net absorption against 233.7 million square feet of inventory when this broke ground. Against that backdrop, the Phase I office building is small on purpose. A hundred thousand square feet of Class AA next to 308 apartments and a jazz club is a placemaking play, not a speculative office bet, and the residential component is what carries the phase.

For Moss, a Fort Lauderdale contractor, this is a substantial Texas market entry. The 15-year horizon means the GC relationship, the shared-garage sequencing, and the phasing logic set now will govern a decade of follow-on work. Districts of this size usually change contractors somewhere in the middle. Whether this one does is worth tracking.
