Babers Manor Opens in Fort Worth's Stop Six

Babers Manor, an 80-unit mixed-income development, has opened at 4400 Ramey Avenue in Fort Worth's Stop Six neighborhood. McCormack Baron Salazar Development, Inc. developed the project, with architecture by RPGA Design Group, Inc. A grand opening was held September 23, 2026; leasing began in March.

The three-story project totals 95,698 square feet across 15 buildings on two city blocks. Of the 80 units, 51 are affordable at 30%, 50%, 60%, and 80% AMI, with 29 at market rate. Four units are permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless residents, and 43 carry federal rental subsidies.

Amenities include a fitness center, clubhouse, business center, community center, two playgrounds, and on-site social services. Units feature in-unit laundry, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, vinyl plank flooring, and a private patio or balcony. Groundbreaking was held August 28, 2024.

Financing included $16.34 million in federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and $161,000 in federal 45L energy-efficiency credits. Reported total project cost is $30.5 million. Babers Manor is the third phase of the Stop Six Choice Neighborhood Initiative, backed by a $35 million HUD Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant awarded in April 2020. The initiative aims to replace 300 former Cavile Place units with roughly 1,000 mixed-income homes, leveraging an estimated $345 million in investment. The development is named for Clarence Donald Babers (1946-2020), a longtime HUD regional administrator and community advocate.
