The century-old brick warehouse that long housed Los Vaqueros in the Fort Worth Stockyards is back on the market, stirring fresh questions about the future of one of Main Street’s most high-profile corners. Sitting directly across from Billy Bob’s Texas, the property has already drawn interest from restaurateurs, distillers and hospitality developers as the Stockyards rides a wave of new projects. With the relisting, a sizable mixed-use parcel is back in play just as visitors and investors keep pouring into the neighborhood.
The property at 2629 N. Main Street is listed as a 33,000-square-foot building on roughly 2.23 acres, with an 8,300-square-foot outdoor event space, according to a commercial listing. SRS Real Estate Partners is handling the offering, which touts flexible mixed-use zoning and on-site parking across from major Stockyards attractions. LoopNet carries the marketing brochure and property facts used in the listing.
As reported by Fort Worth Report, the site was purchased in 2024 by investors tied to Horse Soldier Bourbon and has since returned to the market. Meredith Koko, whose family operates the Urban Stillhouse concept associated with Horse Soldier, told the outlet there were “no plans to tear down the whole structure” while the group weighs broader redevelopment possibilities. The Fort Worth Report story frames the relisting as the latest turn in evolving plans for the property since that 2024 sale.
Buyers’ earlier plans
Before the property went back up for sale, the buyers had floated a vision that included an Urban Stillhouse tasting room and restaurant tied to the Horse Soldier brand. Reporting shows a demolition application was filed in August 2025 as the project’s scope grew. Local coverage that picked up the reporting on the permit said the owners were considering a hotel component and expanded event facilities, while still pledging to preserve historic elements where they could. AOL detailed both the earlier purchase and the demolition permit filing.
Where this fits into a frenzied Stockyards boom
The timing of the relisting lines up with a surge of high-profile investment in the Stockyards, from plans for a major phase-two Mule Alley expansion to celebrity-driven renovations along Main Street. Local reporting has described the next Mule Alley phase as a multihundred-million-dollar effort, a scale that signals how hot the area has become. Projects like Taylor Sheridan’s multimillion-dollar overhaul of Cattlemen’s Steak House highlight just how big some of these hospitality bets are getting. Eater Dallas and other outlets have tracked those moves, while Fort Worth Report notes nearby properties are seeing renovation activity totaling around $30 million.
What the listing shows
The marketing materials pitch the former Los Vaqueros site for restaurant, hotel or event use, playing up its exposed brick, high ceilings and prominence with millions of Stockyards visitors each year. The flyer also lays out parcel specifics, on-site parking details and assessment figures that brokers say help support underwriting for potential buyers.
