Fort Worth’s T&P warehouse renovation to blend residential, retail, sky bar

T&P warehouse, Fort Worth
The Texas & Pacific warehouse on Lancaster Avenue in Fort Worth has been vacant for a long, long time -- but the era of vacancy could be drawing to a close as the building's owner and Dallas-based Cleopatra Investments are pushing forward with plans to deck out the structure in high (and, hopefully, highly profitable) style.
The half-a-million plus square foot building's renovation -- projected to begin in 2010 -- will incorporate apartments, shops, and restaurants, while the roof of the expansive structure will be home to a pool, clubhouse, sun decks and a sky bar. (Which raises the bar pertty high.)
Built in 1931, the historic structure has stood mostly vacant since the 1970s.

We used to play paintball at cowtown paintball and went to the haunted house in that place over the years. Im glad the T&P is getting a much-deserved renewal/rebirth. Too bad Dallas hasnt gotten it together on saving their historic buildings accordingly. Another reason I love cowtown!
