The authentic historic character of the Near Southside is a great asset and an important competitive advantage in attracting new residents and businesses to the area.

Although many landmark structures have been lost over the years, today the district still contains the largest concentration of historic buildings in Fort Worth's central city.

Federal and local incentives have made historic restoration and adaptive reuse projects profitable. In addition, many firms relocating to the Near Southside have even chosen to renovate non-historic buildings that provide flexible and affordable spaces tailored to meet specific needs.
