The Tarrant County city of Mansfield has curated its historic downtown with a purpose. Amid the suburban sprawl of supermarkets, including an on-the-way H-E-B, and big-box retailers, downtown has kept its historic charm with well-maintained buildings, dozens of murals, events.
Now, the city is adding a $65 million mixed-use development a block east and within easy walking distance of downtown. The city recently voted on a tax increment reinvestment zone to help fund the project, which is scheduled to start construction later this year.
Called Smith & Elm - naturally, because it’s at the intersection of Smith and Elm streets - the development will include apartments and retail space.
The first phase will include 253 urban apartments with ground floor live/work spaces and about 13,000 square feet of retail and restaurants. It will include a central park area for community events.
In a statement, Mansfield Mayor Michael Evans said the community is excited to see new development coming to take the area to the next level.“We believe the mix of housing, innovation, and community space will bring together a greater good for our city,” he said.

Mansfield’s population has grown by more than 30 percent in the past decade to 74,368 residents. The growing Tarrant County community’s sprawl has gone on without impacting downtown.
On Main Street, the buildings are well-maintained. Murals give it historic character. It has an active performing arts theater (Far Best) where country singer Maren Morris would perform. Down the street is an outdoor venue called The LOT Downtown. Across the street is The Backyard, a cluster of restaurants, including a cigar bar coming soon. The city even celebrates pickles with its annual Pickle Parade, one of the top community-led events in Texas. The beauty of Smith & Elm: Residents will be able to walk just a few yards to see the Pickle Parade roll by. Mansfield City Council adopted a program called Downtown Development Strategies. The program consisted of a compilation of 32 strategies organized by the consultant on the project Halff & Associates.
Nicolette Allen, Mansfield Strategic Initiatives Officer and Downtown Coordinator explained these strategies were developed over a yearlong research and analysis project. The thirty two strategies were centered around the goal of revitalizing Historic Downtown Mansfield.
“Out of this study came downtown’s vision statement: ‘Historic Downtown Mansfield is a vibrant destination and livable center that supports a range of businesses, housing options, and activities for all ages.’ The strategies were categorized into four goal categories,” Allen said
One of the biggest initiatives so far has been to build relationships with the downtown organizations that already exist, such as the Historic Mansfield Business Association, Downtown Mansfield, Inc. , and The LOT Downtown Board, as well as the Mansfield Commission for the Arts. The city has also continued to try to bring as many special events downtown as it can - such as moving the Veterans Day Parade downtown for the first time this year and collaborating with the Veterans Memorial Foundation to bring the Remembering Our Fallen Traveling Memorial to the LOT Downtown. One of the biggest puzzle pieces that needed to fit in laying the foundation for redevelopment in Historic Downtown was the City’s rezoning of the entire district.
“The city’s Planning Department, led by their Director of Planning Jason Alexander, crafted a new form-based code, conducted a number of council work sessions, and hosted multiple town hall meetings,” Allen explained.
“This new zoning was adopted and through a form-based code, reduces the barrier to entry & helps pave a path of least resistance to bring new/re-development to the area that fits the form and nature of the district, continue to help with placemaking & creating identity, but includes a less restrictive permitted-use table - allowing for more business types and higher-density housing to be built. This is a huge accomplishment with big impacts for the area and was received well by the public. In fact, through the town hall meetings there were residents who asked about expanding the district boundaries.”

As someone from the north east seeing this called a downtown is incredibly depressing, village downtowns here look more alive and more full than this.
