Fort Worth is the 13th largest city in the nation. Tarrant County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States and is projected to double in population in the next 25 years. This growth represents a unique opportunity to develop and build housing to accommodate a mixed income of citizens who fulfill all the jobs needed to create a successful business community.
Please Join ULI Dallas-Fort Worth for a dynamic discussion about affordable housing, who it serves, how the deals are put together, what it looks like and how it creates successful communities and fosters economic development. The venue will be at Cielo Place Apartments - an impressive affordable housing historical renovation within the revitalized River East area, one of Fort Worth's sixteen Urban Villages.
