Word has reached us today (thanks, Chuck!) of a major new development being planned for Race Street, the redeveloping street in the Six Points urban village just east of downtown. Dubbed Urban Race Street, the development will be a four-acre mixed-use development incorporating eight existing buildings and new multi-floor construction, all with a “beyond code” environmentally friendly bent.
The development will incorporate such green building processes as cool green roofs, outdoor living spaces, native landscaping, low VOC interior finishes, high seer HVAC, permeable hard surfaces, recycling and reuse of materials, shared parking, down lighting, and energy efficient lighting and appliances. The development will feature 120,000 square feet of retail, Class A office space, and loft residences.
I’ve gotten ahold of a few renderings:
This looks like a big step forward for the Six Points village, and I’m very curious to see some more details. I’ll be looking into this and reporting more in the future. The development has something of a teaser web site at urbanracestreetfortworth.com.
