The New City of Fort Worth  has been a staple of the Fort Worth downtown landscape since 2004 and provides the City with the ability to consolidate services into a building that has room for growth. Key points of the project are listed below: 

  • Consolidation of City staff and functions from 13 other City buildings in proximity to the downtown district into the Future City Hall
  • The New City Hall project main goal is  welcoming workplace and municipal center for public services
  • Other areas of focus will include new construction of City Council Chambers, building infrastructure upgrades, as well as enhanced technology, security, and AV solutions for the building.  
      • The team has worked with the community, City leadership, community groups, and City staff to bring forth the design concepts show below, which are still under review
      • The groundbreaking for this facility took place in September of 2022.
  • The City is looking to embrace “Shared Daylight” concepts in the building in tandem with flexible hybrid floor plans and modern workstations;  accommodating nearly double the occupants than previous tenants and providing flexibility for growth for the next 50 years
  • The project is a phased approach with construction running through final move-ins in the third quarter of 2024. 

Successful delivery of the project is contingent on timely, cost-effective and quality expectations aligned with the goals and principles listed below:
