The Exchange Apartments Break Ground in the Stockyards
July 15, 2026
FORT WORTH, Texas — Oldham Goodwin Development and Fort Worth Housing Solutions (FWHS) today announced the groundbreaking of The Exchange Apartments at the corner of North Main Street and 29th Street. The $71 million, 296-unit mixed-income apartment community will serve as the first vertical development within Oldham Goodwin’s 14.6-acre Stockyards North Master Plan.
As the residential anchor of Stockyards North, The Exchange will provide much-needed affordable housing to Fort Worth’s most recognizable and fastest growing districts. When complete, The Exchange will offer 296 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes with amenities including a resort-style pool, fitness center, clubhouse, outdoor gathering spaces, dog park, grilling areas, and future trail connectivity. The housing community will be a cornerstone of the future mixed-use neighborhood, which is planned to include hospitality, retail, restaurants, and commercial development.
“The Exchange marks the beginning of our long-term vision for Stockyards North,” said Casey Oldham, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Oldham Goodwin. “As our first Opportunity Zone development, it establishes the foundation for future investment while addressing Fort Worth’s growing need for attainable housing. This milestone reflects two decades of thoughtful planning and collaboration with Fort Worth Housing Solutions, the City of Fort Worth, our investors, and an exceptional team of project partners. The Exchange is more than a residential community—it is the catalyst for a walkable, mixed-use district that will shape the future of Stockyards North.”
The historic Stockyards attract more than nine million visitors each year with continued growth in the hospitality, tourism, retail, and entertainment industries. The population within 5 miles of The Exchange is expected to grow more than 6% by 2030, underscoring the demand for more housing options in the area.
“The addition of affordable housing in the Stockyards helps ensure our neighbors who bring the district to life every day can afford to live and work in the iconic neighborhood that embodies Fort Worth’s history and character,” said Mary-Margaret Lemons, President & CEO of Fort Worth Housing Solutions. “As FWHS’ first housing community in the Stockyards, The Exchange is made stronger through our public-private partnership with Oldham Goodwin, a team that shares our commitment to investing in the whole community to keep Fort Worth a place where all people can thrive.”
Future phases of the master-planned Stockyards North development will include a Home2 Suites by Hilton currently under development, retail, restaurants, and additional commercial opportunities designed to complement the continued growth of the Fort Worth Stockyards. Bringing that vision to life requires collaboration, and Oldham Goodwin is proud to partner with Fort Worth Housing Solutions, Strategic Construction, Sage Architecture, Kimley-Horn, and Amegy Bank—organizations that share a commitment to creating places where people can live, work, and thrive.
With a Fort Worth office located in the heart of the Stockyards at 2245 North Main Street, Oldham Goodwin has witnessed the district’s remarkable transformation firsthand. Working alongside local businesses, property owners, and community partners every day has reinforced the importance of creating housing opportunities that allow the workforce driving the Stockyards’ continued success to remain part of the community they help build.
Over the past 22 years, Oldham Goodwin’s Development division has completed more than $1 billion in development projects, including eight multifamily communities and 20 hospitality developments and repositioning projects. Supporting those communities long after construction is complete, the company’s Multifamily Management team currently oversees more than nine apartment communities, providing the operational expertise and long-term stewardship necessary to create successful neighborhoods that endure from lease-up through stabilization and beyond. That operational expertise extends across the full range of affordable housing programs. Oldham Goodwin’s Multifamily Management division currently manages communities governed by the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, Texas General Land Office (GLO) requirements, and Public Facility Corporation (PFC) structures, providing the regulatory and compliance capabilities essential to mixed-income developments like The Exchange.
“We have been bullish on the Fort Worth Stockyards since our company’s beginning, making our first investment there in 2006,” said Hunter Goodwin, President and Chief Operating Officer of Oldham Goodwin. “It is very meaningful for our entire company to be able to bring a host of our services to one of our favorite Texas markets while also partnering with Fort Worth Housing Solutions, who continue to lead in addressing the nationwide housing affordability crisis.”
