Montgomery Plaza

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded the City of Fort Worth a $2,000,000 Brownfield Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) grant and an accompanying $13,000,000 Section 108 loan to renovate the former Montgomery Ward Site. A private developer also invested over $42 million to support the redevelopment of the property which now includes approximately 100,000 square feet of retail on the first floor of the plaza, a parking garage and condos in the upper floors of the plaza, as well as other small and large retail and restaurant spaces located north of the plaza.

A Phase II environmental site assessment was conducted in 2012 for the UCC-Bethlehem project using EPA Brownfields assessment grant funds. This project consists of 13 contiguous properties along Humbolt Street at Evans Avenue owned by the City of Fort Worth. The specific addresses are 951 and 957 Evans Avenue and 908-962 (even) E. Humbolt Street. This area is an extension of the previous development in the Evans-Rosedale area and 951 Evans is a potential location for a future police station. A single story building (4,756 square feet) constructed around 1926 still stands at 951 Evans Ave.
