On Tuesday, Fort Worth city councilmembers approved the sale of 36 lots of land for the Evans and Rosedale development project. Royal Capital — the project's master developer — has committed $61 million for the project + intends to hire locals within the Historic Southside. The lots were sold for $1 each.

Groundbreaking for the project likely won't occur until the end of next year. Once it begins, Royal Capital will have 24 months to complete the project, as agreed upon with the city of Fort Worth.
