The developers behind a 37-acre mixed-use project poised to reshape a portion of Fort Worth want to convert an old industrial building to a restaurant and entertainment venue that will anchor the northern portion of the project.

FW Westside RE Investors LLC, a partnership between Dallas-based Larkspur Capital and Robert Bass’ Keystone Group, is marketing a building at 2800 Cullen St. in Fort Worth for a future venue called “The Shed.” The 3.67-acre development would feature 19,099 square feet of indoor space, 23,453 square feet of outdoor space with a 23,000-square-foot covered patio and 165 parking spaces. Dallas-based DBA Commercial Real Estate is assigned to lease the space. The venue, once leased, could coincide with the first phase of vertical development of Westside Village, a proposed $1.7 billion mixed-use development.

Schafer Smartt, vice president of Larkspur Capital, said The Shed is envisioned as an indoor and outdoor destination for the district. The building’s architecture stands out, he said, and was at one time used as a meat locker within an older industrial subdivision of the city.

“There’s not a lot of buildings in the area that we own and over here at Westside Village that are architecturally significant or have cool bones that we can retrofit,” he said. “This is one of the few buildings that we’re able to do that with.”
