It’s been a big year for news of major developments — from the Texas A&M University Research Campus to the Fort Worth Convention Center — coming to Cowtown. In 2022, Fort Worth’s business + economic development landscape will only continue to grow.

In case you skimmed over some of this groundbreaking news, here’s a quick re-cap.

Texas A&M System Research and Innovation Center, downtown Fort Worth

The university’s $250 million project to build a new campus in downtown Fort Worth that includes a law school, increased area industry collaboration, and courses in medical technologies, advanced manufacturing, and more, set to break ground in mid to late 2022.
Community impact: The downtown campus further ties together the city of Fort Worth with a Tier 1 research institution and would lead to a diverse student talent pool for jobs.

Fort Worth Convention Center, 1201 Houston St.

The city’s $52 million revamp for phase one of the convention center, which will demolish the north + sound annex and straighten Commerce Street, expected to begin in the spring of 2023. Phase two will focus on demolishing the saucer-shaped arena.
Community impact: Downtown additions like a 1,000-room hotel could spring up on the new blocks, and a revamped convention center would boost Fort Worth’s tourist economy.

Other developments coming to Fort Worth:

A $10 million marina project to bring an amphitheater, a lodge, a basketball court and more to Lake Arlington by spring 2023.

A Fort Worth Cultural District project for a major mixed-use development including 175 luxury residential units + a 200-room luxury boutique hotel.

Eight residential units, office spaces, and a restaurant + bar in Fort Worth's Medical District made out of metal huts. (Psst… This list isn’t meant to be comprehensive.
