Mill Creek Residential Breaks Ground on Modera Walsh Heights

Mill Creek Residential, a prominent developer and operator of rental housing throughout the United States, has begun construction on a new contemporary midrise community at Modera Walsh Heights. This development represents the second multifamily project by Mill Creek within the rapidly expanding Walsh master-planned community located in West Fort Worth, Texas.

Exciting Developments in Walsh

The groundbreaking for Modera Walsh Heights took place in December 2024 and will feature a total of 296 residential units. The community is strategically positioned between Interstates 30 and 20, enhancing its accessibility. The first residents are expected to move in during the spring of 2026. Michael Blackwell, Senior Managing Director at Mill Creek Residential, expressed enthusiasm regarding the vibrant growth within Walsh, noting that it has emerged as a favored destination for both homeowners and renters in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

"The Walsh family, who initiated the development, placed a strong emphasis on preserving the land's natural characteristics, which include rolling topography, lakes, and beautiful live oaks," explained Blackwell. Adding to its allure are a highly regarded school system, new hiking and biking trails, and convenient commutes to major employment hubs in Fort Worth.

A Closer Look at Walsh

Spanning over 7,500 acres, Walsh is amongst the largest master-planned communities in the United States, ideally situated near a major urban center. Modera Walsh Heights and its sibling project, Modera Walsh, are vital parts of the Highland Hills district, which has recently gained attention for its ongoing development, including a groundbreaking ceremony for a new campus by The University of Texas at Arlington.

The planned enhancements will complement existing amenities such as the medical services provided by Cook's Children's Hospital and upcoming retail experiences in Walsh West. Ryan Dickerson, CEO of Walsh Companies, emphasized the vision for Walsh—to foster a community where residents can indeed live, work, and play. Mill Creek's involvement through Modera Walsh Heights is a critical step towards realizing this dream.

Community Features and Amenities

Located at 13400 Highland Hills Drive, Modera Walsh Heights will offer a variety of housing options, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans, some with dens. Each residence will feature private patios or balconies, with the average living space stretching to about 1,037 square feet. The community will also provide several amenities designed to enhance the living experience, including:
