A Nebraska commercial property firm that’s been making a major play in North Texas plans to start a Fort Worth tower early next year.
Goldenrod Companies — which recently made a big investment in West Dallas — is eyeing a March start for a more than $100 million mixed-use project in Fort Worth’s cultural district.
The building is set to open in 2027.
Located on University Drive south of Camp Bowie Boulevard, One University is one of two projects Nebraska-based Goldenrod is planning in Fort Worth. The city has agreed to more than $30 million in economic incentives to support the developer’s plans for the new buildings.
Goldenrod plans to build 195,000 square feet of office space, 20,000 square feet of retail, 466 apartments, a 175-room hotel and two parking garages in the One University and Van Zandt building on West Seventh Street.
The projects are among several new mixed-use developments being built in the area west of downtown Fort Worth.
Formed in 2005, Omaha-based Goldenrod has acquired or developed more than $4.3 billion in properties in multiple U.S. markets. The company was founded by former pro football player Zach Wiegert, who played for the St. Louis Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans from 1995 to 2006.
Earlier this year, Goldenrod acquired ownership in dozens of properties surrounding the Trinity Groves restaurant and entertainment complex in West Dallas. The sale included more than 35 acres of real estate, which Goldenrod plans to develop over time.

The Goldenrod team wishes the Aaron family congratulations on this significant day. We are very grateful for the lasting legacy that Hank Aaron created, and we thank the Aaron family and all those associated for their continued support of our project in outfield. We hope this special development, named “The Henry” in honor of Mr. Aaron, continues to pay tribute to all that he stood for on and off the field. “Keep swinging #44”
Our hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska, The Scarlet Hotel, inspired the U.S. Navy to name their staterooms in a similar manner. We had engaged the team at Archrival to write unique stories of nearly 150 Nebraska cities and towns. We shared these stories with the U.S. Navy, along with more than 2,000 photographs depicting each locale which were captured by students from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Thank you to Dale and Roger from the Big Red Sub Club for presenting Zach with this memento.
