A $1.1 billion north Fort Worth development between Interstate 35W and U.S. 287 promises to be the area\u2019s urban destination.<\/p>\n

The North City project sits on 300 acres of land and has unique exposure to drivers travelling on the busy roads that surround the property: North Tarrant Parkway, Interstate 35W and U.S. 287.<\/p>\n

Developer Steve McKeever of Fort Worth said though the process has been elongated multiple times, he doesn\u2019t mind because he wants the end result to last a lifetime. With this being his first big project as a developer, he\u2019s been picky with which retailers he approves as tenants.<\/p>\n

\"Developer<\/p>\n

Developer Steve McKeever has been working patiently to develop North City, a 300-acres are of land at the intersection of I-35W and U.S. 287, into an urban village in a suburban market with entertainment venues, dining options and living space. \u201cWe’re trying to add value and improve the way people live in this part of town,\u201d said McKeever.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunity with this was to create something special and lasting,\u201d McKeever said. \u201cAnd so I didn\u2019t want to be the transactional developer that is looking for a three-to-five-year exit, which is normally the case. I want to keep a lot of this stuff long term. I mean decades, not years. And so it\u2019s been a real patient approach to the development.\u201d<\/p>\n

The timeline for all that is to come isn\u2019t set in stone, but a number of North City restaurants and shops have already opened their doors.<\/p>\n

Andretti Indoor Karting<\/a> opened in 2024, Carvana opened a 12-story vending machine<\/a> in 2023, and a number of restaurants have opened along North Tarrant Parkway in the past few years, including Paris Baguette, Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, Urban Egg and Velvet Taco.<\/p>\n

City Pickle USA, owned by the McKeever family, opened Monday.<\/p>\n

City Pickle USA has 16 pickleball courts, including the only indoor championship-rated courts in Fort Worth, McKeever said. Murals by artist Dan Terry add a flair of embellishment throughout the sports complex.<\/p>\n

On the horizon, McKeever has plans for a music venue, a high-end grocer, a park and three apartment complexes. The $45 million Resia North City apartment complex<\/a> is under construction. The community will feature two mid-rise buildings totalling 464 units.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really trying to build something that\u2019s got more value in 20 years than five years,\u201d McKeever said. \u201cMy goal is to keep a lot of this real estate long term, like for decades in my family.\u201d<\/p>\n
