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. 

A renewed Fort Worth Public Market is coming

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.

iconic landmark, cultural hub

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—celebrating a special occasion in our fine-dining restaurant and cocktails afterward. Whatever the occasion, we can't wait to welcome you into a space that is buzzing with life.

Food and beverage announcements coming soon!
