Developer Green Brick Partners has filed a preliminary plat for Rivella, a 960-home residential community spanning 320 acres in Fort Worth. The project also allocates significant land for parkland and commercial use, targeting growth in the Bonds Ranch corridor.
Why it matters
The influx of nearly 1,000 new units alongside 21.25 acres of commercial space signals high demand for residential and retail infrastructure in the Fort Worth area. This expansion reflects broader density shifts as developers increase housing inventory near Peden and Bonds Ranch roads.
The Rivella development includes 960 homes on a 320-acre site, accompanied by 21.25 acres of commercial space and 9.29 acres of parkland. This follows recent plans for a 300-home project near Boat Club Road and an 800-acre project planned for 1,100 homes.

Market Landscape
The Rivella project aligns with the accelerated pace of master-planned residential growth currently reshaping the Fort Worth outskirts. It mirrors the strategy seen in other nearby large-scale projects, which increasingly combine high-density housing with dedicated commercial footprints.
Operators in construction and site services should track the timeline for permit approvals as these thousands of new units move toward the breaking-ground phase. The accompanying commercial acreage represents an upcoming opportunity for local suppliers and retail managers to evaluate regional demand.
The takeaway
Large-scale master-planned communities are driving infrastructure demand and retail expansion across Fort Worth. Stakeholders should monitor city planning meetings for updates on the required utility and road improvements tied to these massive residential additions.
