Goldenrod Companies’ updated proposal to develop the Community Arts Center at 1300 Gendy Street has been shared by Historic Fort Worth, Inc. The plan is one of two finalists, along with a proposal from Garfield Public/Private LLC, to redevelop the site in accordance to an RFP the city of Fort Worth issued last year.
Goldenrod’s plan preserves the W.E. Scott Theatre, using it as a centerpiece for the site, while the remainder of the existing art center would be demolished.
New construction would consist of:
-New art studio and gallery space
-A new black box theater
-A 13-story, 177-room hotel, which would include meeting space and a restaurant.
-Two 13-story residential towers with 250 units (including living spaces for artists)?
-Art incubation space on the ground floor of the residential buildings.?
-New outdoor spaces, including a stage, arts plaza and community plaza.
Omaha-based Goldenrod Companies is developing other mixed-use projects in the Cultural District area, including the Van Zandt project on W. 7th and 1001 University, both of which are set to break ground soon.
