Renaissance Heights is a historic community in Fort Worth, Texas that is positioned for bold new possibilities.

For nearly 100 years, the Mason Heights area in southeast Fort Worth functioned as an orphanage operated by the Masonic Lodge. When funding dried up, the Masons closed the orphanage and then sold the land in 2005. Today the area is home to an emerging 200 acre master-planned, mixed-use development that will provide exciting new opportunities.

We believe the neighborhood is the unit of change - but we cannot do this work alone.

For us, it's not what can be done to the communtiy but what can be done with the community and provide the resources and support they need to thrive. Resident voice is important. The reason we are successful is because residents come first in all we do.
