1000 Weatherford

1000 Weatherford is a residential high-rise project located at the west end of downtown Fort Worth, featuring 310 apartment units on an approximately 2.8-acre site. The design creates a memorable experience with a 12-story concrete tower rising from a 6-story parking garage, offering residents stunning views of downtown and the Trinity River. Surrounding the parking garage are 5-story wood-framed units, providing a variety of rental options for potential residents. Ground-floor stoop connections to the sidewalk along Belknap and Weatherford frontages promote an urban streetscape within the downtown corridor.

Bound by four streets, with West Weatherford and Belknap being the most prominent, the project integrates seamlessly into the urban fabric, creating a small open space at the base where these streets intersect. This grassy and lightly treed lawn, elevated by the site’s steep topography, offers a welcoming entrance from the west.

As the building ascends the hill, it features a variety of stoops, planters, and terraced landscapes that provide ample gathering areas for residents. These spaces include a fire pit area and a resort-style pool with exposed acrylic edges and tiered lounge decks, highlighting the site’s unique topography. These amenities not only enhance the property but also create a strong connection to the downtown urban environment.

The building’s design also includes a double-height garage entry through the middle, facilitating both vehicular and pedestrian access and aligning the property’s block scale with the surrounding neighborhood to encourage walkability and connectivity. Special paving and landscaping around the garage entry enhance the resident arrival experience while providing cross-access for the immediate area.
