Deco 969, a new 27-story luxury high-rise, has broken ground in Fort Worth at 969 Commerce Street. The project, which is being developed by Southern Land Company, will be downtown Fort Worth’s first luxury high-rise rental residences.

We are so appreciative of the support of the City of Fort Worth and Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. for championing this project.”
