The Cooper, a $65 million five-story 390-unit residential community, is slated for completion in August 2020.

FORT WORTH—The city's economic development strategic plan calls for providing a more balanced mix of uses in its urban neighborhoods, diversifying the tax base, and taking advantage of existing infrastructure, roads and utilities. One high-density urban in-fill residential community is closely aligned with those objectives.

Dallas-based multifamily development firm, Lang Partners, has broken ground on its largest project to-date–The Cooper–a $65 million five-story 390-unit residential community. Located at 1001 West Rosedale St. and slated for completion in August 2020, it will be the largest project of its kind in the Near Southside district, located just south of downtown.

“Fort Worth is uniquely qualified for this type of development because it is a growing city with a desire to increase density in the urban core and provide a broader range of lifestyle options in a dense employment area,” Dirik Oudt, co-founder and director of development at Lang Partners tells GlobeSt.com. “The city leadership has noted that mixed-use neighborhoods drive economic activity. The Cooper contributes to that effort by adding another choice of residential living that is within a block of jobs, services, entertainment, and multiple food and beverage venues.”
