Fort Worth and the broader Dallas‑Fort Worth area are seeing a surge of out‑of‑state capital in the multifamily market. The latest NorthMarq Dallas‑Fort Worth Multifamily Market Insights report shows that 72 apartment properties changed hands in the first half of 2026, with Dallas and Fort Worth accounting for 54% of those deals.
Toronto firm leads recent acquisition
Greybrook Realty Partners, based in Toronto, announced the purchase of Evolv, a 334‑unit garden‑style community at 370 N. State Highway 360 in Mansfield. Cushman & Wakefield arranged the transaction and Greystone supplied $39.2 million in Fannie Mae financing. Built in 2012, Evolv fits a trend identified by NorthMarq: investors are targeting garden‑style assets for value‑add upgrades alongside mid‑rise and high‑rise projects.
Continued construction adds supply
New construction is keeping pace with acquisitions. In June, Realty Capital Residential broke ground on The Lofts at Lakeview, a 289‑unit market‑rate community on the lakefront in Granbury. The project adds to the region’s expanding housing inventory, supporting families and workers drawn by the area’s robust economy.
Why investors are looking to DFW
The report cites the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex’s strong economic outlook as a key draw for out‑of‑state buyers. Population growth, job creation and a diversified business base create a stable environment for long‑term real‑estate returns. As a result, investors from across the United States and Canada are positioning themselves to benefit from the region’s continued expansion.
Local business highlights
Beyond real estate, the Fort Worth economy is seeing other developments. Pet Supplies Plus opened a new store at 3000 S. Hulen St. in Trinity Commons, offering a full range of pet products and services. Former TCU Chancellor Daniel Pullin transitioned to the private sector as executive chairman of Kansas City‑based Vulcan Metals Corp., a manufacturer of complex steel and iron castings.
Federal fraud conviction
In a separate federal case, a Fort Worth jury convicted brothers Joshua Robert Link and Jason Allen Link of multiple fraud offenses tied to a $240 million scheme that defrauded over 2,200 victims nationwide through the Fort Worth‑based company Agridime. U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould announced the verdict after a six‑day trial.
These developments underscore the dynamism of the Fort Worth region, where national investment, local entrepreneurship and law‑enforcement actions together shape a thriving community.
