The complex was built through a public-private partnership led by Dallas-based Palladium USA International Inc. alongside the Fort Worth Housing Finance Corp. and Treymore Construction. The project, designed by Arrive Architecture Group, received a $6 million multifamily direct loan and $30 million in tax-exempt bonds from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.<\/p>\n
The project was also financed through $27 million in equity and $30 million in long-term debt provided by Regions Bank, officials previously said. The complex accepts individuals earning 30% to 80% of the area\u2019s median income.<\/p>\n

The new complex \u2014 between Edgewood Terrace and Tierney Road \u2014 is a bright spot among the aging properties on East Lancaster, said Levi Leddy, marketing director for Palladium USA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe definitely hope to be the catalyst to revive this eastern corridor,\u201d Leddy said. \u201cThis area is prime for a revival.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel Haase, vice president of the Central Meadowbrook Neighborhood Association, said he and other residents hope for further redevelopment on East Lancaster. The complex is the first private construction project on the corridor in 20 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s one of the reasons we supported it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
At a groundbreaking ceremony<\/a> in March 2025, Palladium officials said City Skyline is the company\u2019s fifth project in Fort Worth, although it took 11 proposals to come up with a final site plan that was acceptable to the neighborhood association.\u00a0<\/p>\n The complex got its name because of the skyline views of downtown Fort Worth. The idea was suggested by neighborhood association members, Haase said.<\/p>\n On a recent Friday, Jones and her two daughters offered popcorn and slushies to visitors at the free learning lab, which is open weekdays to aid students with homework, tutoring and reading skills.<\/p>\n Jones, a certified family life coach, lets students know she is the author of a children\u2019s book called \u201cGranny Gets New Wheels<\/a>,\u201d a story about a 5-year-old who aids her grandmother when she gets a wheelchair.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I showed the book to kids, they were like, \u2018What?\u2019\u201d Jones said. \u201cThat lets children know it\u2019s attainable \u2014 they can be an author if they work hard at it.\u201d<\/p>\n Improving literacy among children is a big goal for Jones since the state took over Fort Worth ISD<\/a> due to chronic academic underperformance. The takeover resulted in the replacement of elected school board members with an appointed board of managers to oversee operations. A state district judge in February denied the district\u2019s appeal of the takeover.<\/p>\n The City Skyline lab is set up to help students improve their reading. The learning lab has cozy spots for reading and Jones is in the process of soliciting more books to stock.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we start accessing students, we see the need,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Jones said she believes families need to set educational goals for their children.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you\u2019re doing that, you\u2019re teaching (children) about their roles in learning,\u201d she said. \u201cTogether, we can make something happen. It starts at home. It starts with a love of learning.\u201d<\/p>\n There\u2019s no judgement of students, just support, Jones said. And the City Skyline learning lab can serve as their space outside of home.<\/p>\n \u201cThey feel the love,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Eric E.
