The Fort Worth City Council will decide at its March 31 meeting whether to waive all development fees for Texas A&M's downtown campus. City staffers say the waivers will speed up the project and help catalyze development in the southeastern corner of downtown. The exact amount of the fee waiver is unknown, however the estimated fees for the construction of the first of two research and innovation buildings are around $1.3 million, said Roger Venables, the city's aviation director who also coordinates the city's efforts on the Texas A&M campus. The move comes roughly a year-and-a-half after the council waived $800,000 in fees for the new law school building, and the first of two research and innovation buildings. This new waiver will apply to all future phases of the development, including the second research and innovation building, the gateway building and the performance and visual arts building planned. When completed, the new Texas A&M campus will be Fort Worth's first Tier One research university campus. The $200 million law school building, which broke ground in 2023, is expected to wrap up construction this summer, according to project timelines. The first research and innovation building is expected to break ground in June, with the other buildings still in the design phases. The City Council will vote on the fee waive at its 11 a.m. meeting on March 31 at city hall.

A rising tide of development is raising downtown Fort Worth's boat. That was one of several points touched on by Downtown Fort Worth Inc. president Andy Taft speaking at the nonprofit's annual meeting Thursday. The Stockyards is knocking it out of the park, the Near Southside is growing with hospital and hotel development, and new construction is under way in the West 7th District, Taft said. "Downtown is surrounded by new development springing out of the ground, and that is a much healthier place than we were just a few short years ago," he said. Taft ran through a list of highlights of downtown development over the past year. Roughly $2.8 billion worth of development is in the near term pipeline for downtown, according to Downtown Fort Worth Inc's annual report. That includes the second phase of the Fort Worth convention center, nearly 1,600 apartment units, and 1,400 hotel rooms in various stages of development, according to the report. The new Fort Worth City Council chamber is a huge step forward in elevating the city's civic image, Taft said. The first phase of the Fort Worth Convention Center wrapped up in December 2025, which should make way for a new 1,000 room hotel once Commerce Street is straightened, he said. Texas A&M is expected to open its new law school building later this year, and break ground on its research and innovation building, which Taft said will anchor a university innovation district in the southeast corner of downtown. However, it was the broader collaboration between the city's various business and entertainment districts that Taft said was crucial for the success of downtown. "All those city center stories are made possible only through the power to people working together to achieve a shared vision of success," he said. Downtown is reaping the harvest of seeds planted years ago, Taft said. The challenge now is to keep that momentum going by planting new seeds that will keep downtown and the broader city strong for years to come, he said. ______________________________________________ https://assets.system.tamus.edu/files/fpc/pdf/Subcontracting/March2026.pdf 01-3477 Research & Innovation Building A $30,000,000 SmithGroupJJR Project Description: Architect/Engineer: Delivery Method: General Contractor: Subcontractor Bidding: Texas A&M-Fort Worth (A&M-Fort Worth) is a multi-phase campus development on the southeast side of downtown Fort Worth.
