JPI has broken ground on Jefferson Eastchase, a new community that will bring 398 homes to Fort Worth, Texas. The three- and four-story walk-up community will offer a mixture of market-rate and attainable housing in one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans.
In partnership with Fort Worth Housing Solutions, Jefferson Eastchase will bring much-needed housing to the market, including income-restricted units. Each apartment will be equipped with stainless steel appliances, 10-foot ceilings, and full-sized washers and dryers.
“We are excited to launch our second project with Fort Worth Housing Solutions, which will help to meet the pressing need for quality, affordable housing in the area,” says Chase Addington, vice president of development for JPI. “Our passion at JPI is building communities that provide quality housing and positively impact lives. I’m proud that this project will leave a lasting impact on this community for years to come.”
Jefferson Eastchase’s community amenities will include a large, elevated pool deck and cabana; a clubroom; a well-equipped fitness center and yoga studio; a co-working lounge; and a community pocket park and dog park.
“We’re always excited when we have the chance to work with great partners to better serve the needs of our Fort Worth community,” says Mary-Margaret Lemons, president of Fort Worth Housing Solutions. “Our partnership with JPI on Jefferson Eastchase will bring nearly 400 units to East Fort Worth at both market-rate and various levels of affordability. Projects such as Jefferson Eastchase further expand our ability to create communities where people can thrive.”
Partners for the new community include architect DLR Group, structural engineer Integrity Structural, civil engineer Kimley-Horn, and landscape engineer Land Design.
Delivery for the first units of Jefferson Eastchase is planned for the third quarter of 2026.
When asked about what else is in the works for JPI, Kyley Harvey, chief construction officer, says, “Our pipeline includes a variety of market-rate, workforce, and tax credit deals in the traditional wrap and garden typology. Our team is adding build-to-rent conceived around a standards-based approach to offer additional opportunities for our associates and investors.”
