Fort Worth (Tarrant County) — The NRP Group, a vertically integrated, best-in-class developer, builder and manager of multifamily housing, has announced the completion and grand opening of Thrive on Crawford, a 67-unit mixed-income development. The majority of homes are reserved for families earning 30%, 50%, and 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), with seven market-rate units available. The development integrates high‑quality housing with access to essential health services to improve long‑term outcomes for residents. The development includes 2,200 square feet of Class‑A commercial space leased to JPS Health Network.
“Thrive on Crawford was designed to go beyond traditional affordable housing – integrating wellness services, quality amenities and convenient access to healthcare into a single community,” said Max Whipple, vice president of development at The NRP Group. “As our first Health and Housing development in Texas, this development reflects The NRP Group’s commitment to delivering thoughtful, high-quality housing in high-opportune cities.”
Located at 1310 Crawford Street, adjacent to a key site in JPS Health Network’s $2.1 billion bond program expansion, Thrive on Crawford is part of a broader vision to enhance healthcare services across Tarrant County. The new community provides essential housing options for healthcare workers, young professionals, and families, offering an urban lifestyle close to boutique shops, restaurants, and entertainment along Magnolia Avenue with direct access to Interstate 35W.
“Thrive on Crawford is a prime example of how healthcare can extend beyond traditional clinical settings to address the determinants of health,” said Karen Duncan, president and chief executive officer at JPS Health Network. “Our partnership with The NRP Group demonstrates what is possible when healthcare systems and developers come together to build healthier communities.”
The development features one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with high-end finishes, accompanied by modern cabinetry and private patios with storage units. Amenities include a business center with individual work pods, 24-hour fitness center, luxurious lounge center with a cafe, communal laundry facility and an outdoor playground. Thrive on Crawford also offers comprehensive resident service programs onsite, including adult literacy workshops, financial training, and youth afterschool and summer programs.
“As housing and health become increasingly connected, developments like Thrive on Crawford play a critical role in enhancing the well-being of Tarrant County residents,” said Dustin Austin, board chair of the Tarrant County Hospital District Public Facility Corporation. “This community was built on the premise that affordable housing is foundational to healthier, more resilient communities and offers a unique opportunity for healthcare providers to engage directly with residents to support their overall well‑being.”
This health and housing collaboration not only allows JPS and other local healthcare professionals the opportunity to live within the communities they serve, but also provides residents with immediate access to important services such as primary care, pediatric care, behavioral health, orthopedics, cardiology, and oncology.
Thrive on Crawford marks The NRP Group’s fourth “Health and Housing” development. The Dallas metro area remains a priority market for The NRP Group. The firm has developed over 6,000 units across 27 properties in the region and previously broke ground on a new affordable housing development, The Fielder, in Mesquite.
