When construction of the Makerspace is completed at the $6 billion Walsh community located west of Fort Worth, it’ll mark the first time a residential community will be built around this type of community workshop concept.<\/h2>\n

In fact, the Makerspace complex \u2014 which allows children and adults to create things using a wood shop, 3D printers, computer design software, and more \u2014 is expected to be a main draw for homebuyers, said Mark Hatch<\/a>, a consultant on the project.<\/p>\n

“I’m pretty convinced there will be people who will move,” said Hatch, who authored the book The Maker Movement Manifesto<\/i>. “They’ll sell their homes and move and maybe some folks will come out of state to participate in the first-ever project of its kind.”<\/p>\n

The first homes in Walsh, named after the historic ranch the development is built on, will be available for sale this spring<\/a>. That’s also when the Makerspace is slated to be open. The initial phase of Walsh will total 1,700 acres with a projected build-out cost of $1.6 billion.<\/p>\n

The move is another Walsh is taking to become cutting-edge technology-wise. The community will also have ultra-fast fiber internet<\/a> with speeds up to 10 gigabytes.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately, we’d like to see large corporations located in Walsh and have their families and employees live in Walsh,” said Tony Ruggeri<\/a>, co-CEO of Republic Property Group<\/a> (RPG is developing Walsh).<\/p>\n

The Makerspace will be paid for by HOA fees, and Hatch said that in other places where Makerspaces are retrofitted into the community, people donate materials.<\/p>\n

Walsh representatives said that developers “are investing millions of dollars into community amenities that will be available from day one, including the Makerspace at Walsh,” but declined to give a specific dollar figure on the Makerspace.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Dallas Business Journal, by Evan Hoopfer | Tuesday, January 31, 2017 | Original article here<\/a><\/strong><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
