NexMetro Expands Avilla Fort Worth Portfolio with Two Build-to-Rent Communities

NexMetro Expands Avilla Fort Worth Portfolio with Two Build-to-Rent Communities
NexMetro Communities are planning two Fort Worth build to rent neighborhood homes.

NexMetro to Develop Avilla Altamesa and Avilla Trinity Build-to-Rent Homes in Fort Worth

NexMetro Communities, a national leader in build-to-rent neighborhood development, is expanding its presence in North Texas with two new projects—Avilla Altamesa and Avilla Trinity—marking a major step forward for the Avilla Fort Worth portfolio. The projects continue NexMetro’s mission to bring high-quality, single-level rental homes with luxury finishes and private yards to communities across the country.

Avilla Altamesa: New Build-to-Rent Community Coming to Southwest Fort Worth

The first of NexMetro’s new projects, Avilla Altamesa, will introduce a 151-unit build-to-rent community at the northwest intersection of Altamesa Boulevard and Village Parkway in Fort Worth. Approved by city leaders in April 2025, the Avilla Altamesa project will feature a mix of 48 duplex or attached homes and 103 detached single-family units. Each home is designed to deliver the comfort of a traditional neighborhood setting with the flexibility of a rental lifestyle, combining privacy, space, and convenience.

Avilla Trinity Expands NexMetro’s Fort Worth Footprint

The second project, Avilla Trinity, is proposed as a larger-scale Avilla Fort Worth development consisting of approximately 315 single-level homes. The build-to-rent neighborhood, located at 691 Beach Street, will include both detached and attached units arranged around landscaped courtyards, walking paths, and green spaces. With its focus on low-maintenance living and upscale amenities, Avilla Trinity aims to meet the growing demand for rental housing that feels like homeownership without the long-term commitment.

What Is Build-to-Rent (BTR)?

The build-to-rent model, often abbreviated as BTR, is one of the fastest-growing housing trends in the U.S. These communities are designed specifically for renters but mimic the feel of a single-family home neighborhood. Instead of apartments stacked in a complex, each BTR residence is a detached or semi-detached home featuring private yards, modern interiors, and access to shared amenities. This approach appeals to young professionals, small families, and downsizing homeowners seeking a maintenance-free lifestyle without sacrificing space or comfort.

Inside Avilla Homes: Amenities and Lifestyle

Each Avilla Fort Worth community such as Avilla Altamesa and Avilla Trinity follows NexMetro’s signature design philosophy: upscale yet accessible. Typical Avilla homes include open floor plans with high ceilings, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and attached garages. Residents enjoy private backyards, resort-style pools, shaded cabanas, outdoor grilling stations, and dog-friendly green spaces. The communities are designed to balance privacy with connection, creating a suburban feel with the convenience of a rental.

Spiars Engineering Leading Land and Civil Design

Spiars Engineering of Richardson, Texas, is currently overseeing the land development and civil engineering phases for both Avilla Fort Worth projects. Founded in 2000, Spiars Engineering specializes in large-scale residential, mixed-use, and commercial site design across Texas. Their expertise in grading, drainage, and infrastructure planning has supported numerous high-profile developments for national builders and real estate investment firms. The firm’s collaborative approach ensures that each community integrates seamlessly with surrounding land use and environmental considerations.

Previous NexMetro Project: Avilla Boat Club

NexMetro’s last build-to-rent project in Fort Worth was Avilla Boat Club, located at 6464 Robertson Road. That project consisted of 108 single-level homes with a total construction cost of approximately $35 million. The general contractor was the Dallas office of Moss Construction Company, and the development has since been recognized for its resort-style design and efficient use of space. Avilla Boat Club set the stage for the company’s continued growth and success across the Fort Worth market.

NexMetro’s Growing Presence in Fort Worth

With the launch of Avilla Altamesa and Avilla Trinity, NexMetro continues to expand its Texas footprint, meeting the region’s surging demand for flexible rental housing. The company’s strategic investment in Fort Worth build-to-rent communities reinforces its position as a national leader in the evolving rental housing landscape. As both projects move through the planning and engineering stages, residents in Riverside and Edgecliff communities in Fort Worth can expect to see a new era of modern, low-maintenance living take shape under the Avilla brand.
