Montgomery Plaza is an upscale shopping mall located off W. 7th Street right outside of downtown Fort Worth. It was constructed in 1928 as a major regional retail and mail order warehouse for the retail company Montgomery Wards. In 2001 Montgomery Wards went out of business and closed down the warehouse thus leaving the property vacant. Weber & Co. purchased the property and demolished a distribution center that was constructed in the 1960s to the rear of the warehouse to make way for a Super Target and other anchors. Redevelopment began in 2004 and the name Montgomery Plaza was given to the development. The 8 story warehouse now contains retail on the bottom floor with residential condos on the top 6 floors. Parking for the residences is integrated into a built in parking garage located inside the original warehouse building. A six story opening was cut out from the center of the building to make way for a brick-paved main driveway for the development, which has strings of incandescent light bulbs above and vehicle parking to the sides. The Super Target opened in 2005 and the retail section of the bottom floor of the 1928 warehouse opened in 2006.
