1311 Waterman Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76102

Exciting Developments Coming to Uptown Fort Worth. Major transformation is underway in Uptown Fort Worth—formerly known as Rock Island—as the Panther Island project gains momentum over the next five years. This historic neighborhood, originally home to Samuels Avenue (one of the first streets laid outside of Fort Worth in the 1880s), is poised for a significant revival. The area has recently been renamed Uptown Fort Worth on official maps, signaling its shift toward urban renewal and increased investment. The property is currently zoned D – High Density Multifamily, which is intended specifically for high-density residential development—making it ideal for forward-thinking investors and developers. City infrastructure improvements are also on the horizon.
