Southwest Bank will be building a new two-story infill building at 2200 West 7th, on the site of the old commercial vehicle rental place near the river. The building will have retail space available to lease as well. The building was designed by Robert W. Kelly, who you might know as the architect who did the Ashton Hotel restoration. The building will be built right up to the sidewalk and all parking will be at the rear of the site.
Here’s a rendering:
Responsible and thoughtful comments are welcome. Be aware, though, that this site exists in part as an advocacy site for New Urbanism and its potential to remake Fort Worth into an even more livable city than it is today. Thoughtful dissent is generally welcome insofar as it fosters thoughtful replies. Inflammatory dissent, whether intentional or not, will be deleted. Commenters whose comments we routinely delete will be banned. Nothing personal, but this is a privately owned and operated web site, and we are aiming for a specific tone and audience. Work within those guidelines and all will be well.
