Did you know our quaint Foundry District is about to get a major upgrade? Earlier this week, Asana Partners unveiled the redevelopment plan for the Foundry District, teasing that it would become a “premier experiential destination” for Cowtown + sharing a collection of renderings.

What does the redevelopment entail?

Asana Partners hopes to add more destinations where visitors can eat, drink, and shop ‘til they drop, while still honoring its history. Slated to be complete by the spring of 2025, the project by Dallas-based GFF Design will include:

  • Converting historic loading docks to open-air dining and patios
  • Improving the outdoor gallery
  • Installing Texas-native plants to enhance customer experience

The Foundry District first opened in June 2021 and was purchased by North Carolina investment firm Asana Partners in September 2022. Asana Partners also manages other Dallas-Fort Worth destinations like Deep Ellum and Victory Park.
Fun fact: The Foundry District was named after the stove foundry that once existed in its place over a hundred years ago. Though the stove foundry is long gone, several businesses already occupy this promising space.

Today, the Foundry District hosts many local events and markets throughout the year and is home to popular spots such as Doc’s Records & Vintage, Maple Branch Craft Brewery, and Blackland Distillery.
