Bluelofts to repurpose the old Ft. Worth Star Telegram building to apartments/retail

Ft. Worth Adaptive Reuse Project on the Way

The building was best known as the home base for the Fort Worth Star Telegram; 19-stories of news gathering, printing and advertising. Now, Bluelofts, a specialist in adaptive use of historic buildings, is planning a mixed-use community for The Star-Telegram building, as well as the neighboring Oil & Gas building. The Star-Telegram building will host 88 units and amenities including a gym and a community lounge. The Dallas Business Journal reports the firm plans to bring in retail, restaurants and coworking space on the first floor. Some portions of the building will remain as office space.  

The 16-story Oil & Gas building will feature 180 units of luxury multifamily. Amenities will include a community gym and club, co-working space and restaurant and retail on the first floor.  Bluelofts plans to use both the state and federal historic tax credit systems for the Star-Telegram building. Bluelofts is partnering with Wolfe Investments on the project.
