Moss Drives Workforce Housing Growth in North Texas

ConstructionOwners Editorial Team

As North Texas continues its rapid population and economic growth, demand for affordable and workforce housing has surged — and Moss Construction is positioning itself at the forefront of the response. Best known for high-visibility projects such as the renovation of Toyota Stadium in Frisco, the firm is equally committed to building communities through impactful multifamily and nonprofit-driven developments.

Senior Vice President Aaron Docsa, who brings three decades of construction leadership, says Moss is seeing a powerful shift across the market.

“We continue to see strong construction activity in North Texas in most sectors, including multifamily and mixed-use development, fueled by our growing local economy and corporate relocations,” Docsa explained. “Many of these projects include provisions for workforce housing, prompting both new construction and the repurposing of older commercial space.”

Workforce housing — intended for middle-income earners who earn too much for subsidies yet struggle with rising rents — has become a priority focus for Moss.

“Housing affordability and single-home entry are difficult challenges for many people these days, and workforce housing is designed for middle-income households—teachers, nurses, police officers—who don’t qualify for subsidies but struggle to afford market rates,” he said. “These projects reflect our cultural values and commitment to creating stronger communities and lasting opportunities.”

Key Workforce & Multifamily Projects in Motion

Moss is currently constructing several high-impact communities, including:

  • Cypress Creek Apartment Homes at Montfort Drive (Dallas): A 168-unit mixed-income development featuring 116 units reserved for residents earning up to 30–80% of AMI, along with designated units for people with disabilities and unhoused individuals.
  • The Walton at Loop 12: A 300-unit community underway, designed for families earning up to 70% of AMI.

Docsa notes that Moss’s project delivery is strengthened by its broad experience and flexible financing expertise. “Our team has a diverse background of experience, making us well-rounded to deliver any type of multifamily housing project through traditional or alternative financing models.”

Purpose-Driven Construction: Beyond Business

Moss is also leveraging its platform to uplift nonprofit partners. One project especially close to Docsa’s heart is a new housing facility for Shiloh Place, an organization serving single mothers.

“Construction is underway on a new housing project at Shiloh Place… The new facility, approximately 16,641 square feet, will replace the existing 50- to 60-year-old buildings with modern housing. We are donating our project fee back to the organization,” Docsa shared.

He described the initiative as a reflection of Moss’s soul, adding: “The initiative undertaken at Shiloh Place brings us profound fulfillment and exemplifies our commitment to improving lives and communities, including those of mothers in need, and is in line with our core values.”

Internally, Moss has built a culture centered on trust, empowerment, and leadership development.

“Our mission is to deliver unparalleled value while performing to the highest standards in safety and quality, cultivating top-performing teams, and fostering productive client relationships through honesty, unwavering commitment, and results,” said Docsa.

The firm’s workforce pipeline is supported through university partnerships, veteran transition programs, and one of the industry’s largest internship ecosystems.

“Each summer, Moss hosts around 200 interns nationwide—including several in Dallas-Fort Worth—with a goal of transitioning them into full-time roles,” he added.

Moss also collaborates with the Department of Defense through the SkillBridge program, enabling active-duty service members to transition into construction careers.

The Bottom Line

From landmark stadiums to mission-driven housing communities, Moss is leveraging its platform not just to build structures — but to build stability, opportunity, and trust across North Texas.

“At Moss, we share one common cause: to improve lives and build the future,” Docsa emphasized. “Every day, we aim to be the most trusted name in North Texas multifamily construction by leading with the highest standards for quality, integrity, and client care.”
