We met with Eddie Vanston at 209 S. Main St.  Eddie restored the Sawyer Grocery store into 14 loft apartments and four retail/office space on the street level.

Eddie is an expert at finding and utilizing available tax credits and partnering up with companies like Chevron  to get the most out his developments.

This current project is close to completion and Eddie already has most of his unit full because of his reasonable rates.

The building was interesting to say the least.  It was built in 1910 and was used as a fireproof warehouse.  The old sturdy construction of the old brick building made it surprising cool when we walked in on this hot day.



It had very unique yet creepy doors that reminded me of the old warehouse in the move The Saw.  Although weird this also at the same time a very cool feature that i would not remove because it was part of the unique character of this building.

Just outside of this building in the dock area, there are plan in the near future for a Beer Garden.  This is definately one building i want to come back and see after its completion.

Just further down the street we also stopped at a tiny little bakery that was the perfect spot for an at home baker that suddenly found herself needing a bigger kitchen due to her growing orders.

 She got this spot from Eddie at very reasonable rates since it was in this area.  With all the great development Eddie is doing to this part of Ft Worth, I can see demand for space going up very soon.
