KWA Construction Completes Phase I of Renaissance Heights Apartments

Revitalizing southeast Fort Worth has started with a mix of affordable one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.

KWA Construction, a leading general contractor specializing in multifamily developments in Texas, has completed construction on Phase I of Renaissance Heights Apartments in Fort Worth’s Columbia Renaissance Square Development.

The nearly $17 million, three-story mixed-income apartment community introduces a residential element to a project that seeks to bridge the poverty gap by putting education centers, healthcare facilities and green spaces in close proximity to low-income residents. Owner Columbia Residential hired JHP Architecture to design the 193,000-square foot project.

“We share Columbia Residential’s commitment to quality construction, sustainable materials and energy efficiency,” said KWA Construction President Brian Webster. “This development not only provides residents with safe and excellent living conditions, but it also helps reduce financial stress with the use of energy efficient features to lower utility costs.”

Phase I of Renaissance Heights consists of 140 one-, two- and three-bedroom mixed-income units — 85 percent of which are affordable housing, providing low-income families, the elderly and the disabled access to comfortable living. Units feature ENERGY STAR® appliances, open floor plans and luxury, hardwood-style flooring. Additional amenities include a clubhouse with a community room, computer lab and fitness center.

“The apartments have already caught the eye of Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson and Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price due to their potential to transform the area. Carson even made a point to include them in his 2017 “Listening Tour” through Fort Worth,” added Webster.

Phases II and III will be comprised of affordable independent senior living apartments and mixed-income apartments.
