Walk? You hear that term very developing. A Fort Worth developer has joined a Seattle firm to build a complex with a focus only on a project created for residents that are less dependent on cars.
Bryan FLATS, a 94 -unit apartment complex in the city near Southside in 455 Bryan Ave. opened in mid -December. There is no parking, but there is a lot of bicycles and other transit forms smaller than cars.
Developers, a partnership between the Eagle Rock Ventures LLC -based in Seattle and the Presidio and Fort Worth interests, believe there is a market for reasonable prices in a very walking -related place. The main southern area of the close southside fits the bill.
Do not expect the wide space of a high city house or a luxury apartment. Urban efficiency units in Bryan Flats will not hit four digits in the square foot department. Most units are about 300 square meters and include a bed, a chair and a mini-frigor and microwave. But what residents trade in space they make up rentals about $ 1,000 a month, including services, and rents that can range from three months to one year.
“We believe there is a market for this type of product here,” said Scott Shapiro, Eagle Rock Ventures manager and managing director. Shapiro said his firm has developed several very efficient apartment buildings in Seattle, Nashville and Oregon.
Andrew Blake, managing partner in the Presidio Interest, believes that close to Southside is the perfect place for smaller leased places and cheaper rents calling on people who just start in their careers.
While the apartments are small, the equipment is abundant. The building includes a common room in each floor with large refrigerators and a stove, two outdoor yard spaces and a bicycle storage room near the entrance. The architects for the project were Bennett Partners, and the Contractor General was Fort Construction.
Blake and Shapiro see the location as a key to the success of development. Located in the main part of the southern village of Fort Worth’s near Southside District, Bryan Flats is inside walking or cycling at the distance of the most dense employment centers of the city in the hospital district and downtown.
From the highest floors in the building, it is easy to see the multiple number of restaurants, bars and cafes dripping the area.
“For someone who just graduated from college or has their first job here, it can be ideal,” Shapiro said.
There are many new neighbors coming near. The noble hotel, built around Historical Station no. 5, will open soon. The fire station dates back to 1911 and was home to many Fort Worth noble firefighters, resulting in the name for the hotel. The hotel is part of the Tapestry collection of Hilton.
