Wildcat Management’s fully-entitled downtown Dallas development site sits at the intersection of active public investment and private opportunity, with no height cap, no variances required, and three architect-studied development programs ready to execute.
-- Demolition is underway on Dallas’s old Convention Center, and the city’s southern core is changing in real time. Wildcat Management announces that 1823 Cadiz Street, a 0.67-acre fully-entitled development site in the Dallas Central Business District, is positioned directly within the transformation footprint of the Convention Center District as the largest public investment in the city's history moves from planning into construction.
Dallas currently adds more than 700 new residents to the DFW area every single day and posted 49 million visitors last year, the fastest-growing visitor market in the country. Eleven major corporate headquarters have relocated to the region in recent years. The $3.7 billion Convention Center is scheduled to open in 2029, with the proposed arena in the City Hall District expected to follow in 2030 or 2031. 1823 Cadiz Street sits between the Farmers Market District, City Hall, and the emerging Arena District, at the center of every major investment corridor now moving in downtown Dallas.
The site carries PD 357 zoning, which eliminates the entitlement risk that kills most downtown development deals before they start. Three development programs have already been studied by Merriman Anderson Architects, all by right under current zoning with no variance required:
- No height cap and no minimum parking requirement
- 20:1 floor area ratio, allowing up to 580,000 square feet of buildable area on a single parcel
- 250-plus-unit residential tower, 200-key hotel, or a combined residential and hospitality program, all supported under existing zoning
The site also carries three layers of financial incentive that transfer to a buyer:
- Newpark Tax Increment Financing District
- Federal Opportunity Zone designation
- PD 357 zoning, which eliminates entitlement cost and timeline risk from day one
“Demolition is the proof that this is no longer a future story,” said Tanya Ragan, Founder and President of Wildcat Management. “Crews are on site. The infrastructure is moving. A buyer who positions on this parcel today is not betting on what Dallas might become. They are stepping into what Dallas is already building.”
