The Stockyards Project: A Successful Multi-Decade Legacy Project
The Stockyards project in Fort Worth, Texas, is a one-of-a-kind multi-decade legacy project that has revitalized an entire district. The project began in 2015 with the redevelopment of Mule Alley, which was once home to horses and mules. The team worked on tenanting the space, overseeing branding and marketing, and assisting with tenant build-outs. The project was a success and continues to thrive. There are plans for a phase two, which will further enhance the district. Legacy projects like these are rare and require a strong vision, a dedication to placemaking, and the ability to maintain and evolve the space over time.
