Walsh is named after the family that owns the land near where Interstate 30 merges with Interstate 20. It is the largest development underway in the U.S. within 12 minutes of a major city center, according to the developers.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, developers removed the barricades to an overpass called Walsh Ranch Parkway that leads into the development. The development will eventually encompass 11 square miles on both sides of the interstate, but the initial development will occur on the north side. Another smaller neighborhood called Morningstar is already underway.<\/p>\n
Walsh is the latest project from Dallas-based Republic Property Group, which counts two of the top best-selling master planned communities in the nation among its current projects. The neighborhood at Walsh will showcase a curated selection of architectural styles and floor plans \u2013 including modern takes on the Texas Vernacular, Tudor, and Craftsman style homes \u2013 specifically designed to honor the heritage of Fort Worth\u2019s great neighborhoods and the surrounding natural landscape, officials said.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t want to travel west to see the development, Republic Property has opened a location in Sundance Square where visitors can take a virtual tour of the plans for Walsh.<\/p>\n
If you do venture west, model homes at Walsh will be open and available to the public. On Thursday, Republic announced HGC Residential Development as an additional homebuilder for the neighborhood\u2019s initial phase.<\/p>\n
\u201cHGC Residential Development\u2019s artful designs, specifically crafted with a custom flare and style for Walsh, are a great addition to the timeless architecture that will make Walsh the next great neighborhood of Fort Worth,\u201d said Jake Wagner, co-CEO of Republic Property Group. \u201cWe were impressed with the care and attention to detail that HGC puts into each home. Adding HGC to our initial lineup of the best local, Texas-based, and national homebuilders will grow the appeal of Walsh to variety of homeowner tastes and preferences for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
HGC, founded in Fort Worth in 2000, is working with RPG, which developed a 130-page pattern book for the neighborhood, on new designs for future homes at Walsh.<\/p>\n
All of HGC\u2019s homes in the initial phase at Walsh will either face a neighborhood park or back up to lush green spaces. Homes from HGC at Walsh will be priced from $450,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are fortunate to be a part of this special place. RPG and the team at Walsh have done a fantastic job creating a one-of-a-kind development,\u201d said John Giordano, head of sales and business development at HGC.<\/p>\n
HGC joins David Weekley Homes, Drees Homes, Highland Homes, Toll Brothers and Village Homes in building the new Fort Worth community\u2019s first homes. The initial 587 home sites at Walsh range from 3,850-square-feet to just shy of an acre.<\/p>\n
