The Fort Worth City Plan Commission voted Wednesday (Oct. 1) to approve all components of Crescendo Development’s complex plat application for its 150-acre Woodhaven property. The approval marks the latest in a series of City actions following endorsements from the Zoning Commission and City Council, clearing the way for redevelopment of the once prominent site many have hoped to see revitalized.
Crescendo is now ramping up its outreach to developers nationwide to collaborate with the community on this important project.
“I’m pleased that the City Plan Commission has joined the Fort Worth Zoning Commission and Fort Worth City Council in supporting Crescendo by approving our preliminary plat,” said Will Northern, Owner and Founder. “I am humbled to play a role in Woodhaven’s redevelopment and look forward to working with the City and vertical developers to bring our collective vision to life. My Crescendo team will continue to work hard to make Woodhaven, the East side, and Fort Worth proud. We will put Woodhaven back on the map as a place to call home.”
In his pledge to maintain transparency throughout the project, Northern has consistently communicated with all stakeholders—especially homeowners. Over the past year, he has convened and attended community meetings “to hear exactly what folks want. I assure everyone, we are dreaming big. I look forward to continuing the conversation.”
During the Commission hearing, Northern focused on the carefully researched and documented economic impact study prepared by Catalyst Commercial, “Fort Worth, Texas /Golf Course Redevelopment: Single Family Property Value Analysis” and a third-party expert’s validation of the report.
Each plat is reviewed by City staff to ensure compliance with drainage, flood protection, open space, street access, utility, and other requirements. In Fort Worth, the City Plan Commission has final authority on plat approvals, with no action required by the City Council.
