Bringing History Back to Life

Restoring a beloved piece of the past with the revitalized Fort Worth Public Market.

Reinstating a Cornerstone of the Community

The restored Public Market is a space that honors the history and legacy of this historic building while bringing new life to benefit the entire city.

In its original glory days, The Public Market was a gathering place for the community, providing farmers with an ideal location to sell their goods and shoppers a mecca to find all they could desire. 

The Public Market is coming back to life

Steps from downtown and minutes away from the Medical District, Magnolia Street, South Main, and other cultural hubs, the Fort Worth Public Market will provide commercial space for retail, food, and beverage concepts, continuing to bring the community together. Directly behind this historic building will be The Harden, offering inspired living for active seniors.

Fort Worth’s premier living community and cultural hub for active older adults, just steps from downtown, Magnolia, and South Main.

Downsizing or moving closer to family shouldn’t have to mean giving up the community, culture, and character you value in a home and neighborhood. At The Harden, we know you want to maintain a fulfilling life at every stage, so we’ve developed a place you can call your own that’s both buzzing with action and practical for your needs.

Bring Your Business.
Better Fort Worth.

The vision for the Public Market is to create a cultural hotspot. One that includes thriving businesses, an engaged community, and a constant flow of guests. Imagine a cafe with outdoor tables for folks who work downtown to gather for lunch or coffee. The businesses in these commercial spaces will become a cornerstone of the community, bringing people together, providing enjoyable food and drink, and welcoming them into a space that is buzzing with life.
