New Southside apartments bring Texan charm to Fort Worth. Take a look
Looking for new digs in Fort Worth’s Near Southside? Take a look inside The Vickery Apartments, a new offering in the neighborhood.
Developed by Fort Worth-based Trademark Property Co., The Vickery is nestled on West Vickery Boulevard at Hemphill Street, in the fast-growing neighborhood south of downtown.
The site, previously a drainage area, is now home to 321 apartments and townhomes, plus a restaurant.
The project began in 2019, according to Philip Welch, vice president of multifamily and mixed use properties for Trademark. It is a redevelopment of a “brownfield” site that was previously used for drainage.
“We saw it as a wonderful opportunity to better the neighborhood and as a great place to put our first flag in the ground, if you will,” Welch said from The Vickery’s spacious lobby, covered in gold and brown hues, an Ella Langley song quietly streaming from a speaker somewhere hidden. “Fort Worth is home. That’s our backyard, and how we approach development is we want to do development that’s not just good monetarily, but it’s good for the community.”
The development is filled with small Texan touches, like the original Vickery Boulevard bricks that were used in the lobby entryway.
“The whole thought process with how the building looks from an architectural and aesthetic standpoint on the outside was to not be so much different from what was originally here,” Welch said.
Fort Worth established a special tax district to improve sidewalks, lighting, public parks, and other public infrastructure in the area, Welch said. Three public spaces were established around the apartments.
Trademark is also the developer of Fort Worth’s Alliance Town Center, Left Bank and Westbend shops.
The Vickery apartments contain 307 apartment homes and 14 townhomes, consisting of one, two, and three-bedroom units with high ceilings and large windows. Residents have access to a rooftop lounge, a fitness center, coworking spaces.
The public spaces in the complex are filled with public art commissioned for the development, Welch said, meant to give those areas a personal touch.
Units start at roughly $1,500. The complex is pet-friendly.
The apartments have been leasing since late 2025, but a grand opening was held recently to commemorate the opening of the development.
