In 1928, Montgomery Ward located its regional retail and mail order warehouse on West 7th Street, just across the Trinity River from Downtown Fort Worth.

Kimco purchased the property and with Weber & Co, demolished the distribution center that was constructed in the 1960s to the rear of the warehouse to make way for a Super Target and other anchors.

A six-story hole was carved out through the center front façade of the original store creating Montgomery Plaza's distinctive M-shaped profile and opening up an 80-foot brick-paved promenade with outdoor dining and shopping which has strings of incandescent light bulbs above and vehicle parking to the sides.

Some larger anchor tenants include Super Target, Marshall's, Ross Stores, Famous Footwear, Office Depot, Petsmart and Pier 1 Imports.

Montgomery Plaza fronts West 7th Street, which connects Fort Worth's Cultural District with the downtown area.

West 7th has recently become one Fort Worth's most vibrant urban neighborhoods, a burgeoning community at the juncture of six major streets.

West 7th and the Cultural District offer entertainment options to the growing defense and technology workforce in Fort Worth.
