Sawyer Grocery Store redevelopment underway!

This is a project I’ve been looking forward to for some time. The old Sawyer Grocery Store on South Main, near the Axis club, is at last getting restored and redeveloped. Work is underway now on the two buildings to convert them to apartments over retail.

Here is a recent photo - they actually look *better* in this photo than they have in a long time. You can see the work going on through the windows when you go by.

The buildings will feature four retail spaces and 14 apartments. They are being redeveloped by Eddie Vanston of the Carillon Group, the same fine folks who gave us the beautiful, high-quality restorations of three other Fort Worth South historic properties - the Leuda-May Apartments, the Markeen Apartments (now condos), and the LaSalle Apartments.

This is what they’ll look like when complete:
