Wildcat Management released new insights on downtown redevelopment, using 1823 Cadiz Street site to illustrate current investment patterns. With two decades of experience, Tanya Ragan highlights how district level momentum, including $3.7 billion convention center expansion and other major projects, is shaping long term opportunities.
-- Wildcat Management released updated insights on redevelopment activity in Downtown Dallas, using its 1823 Cadiz Street site in the Farmers Market District to illustrate how large‑scale land opportunities are influencing investor interest and long‑term planning across the urban core.
For more than twenty years, Wildcat Management President Tanya Ragan has worked across multiple downtown districts through adaptive reuse, historic preservation, and complex redevelopment projects. Her long‑term familiarity with the area provides a practical lens for understanding how civic investment, infrastructure planning, and district‑level momentum are shaping the next phase of downtown growth.

The 1823 Cadiz site, one of the largest contiguous redevelopment opportunities in the Farmers Market District, reflects several of the trends Ragan identifies. The property includes feasibility studies for residential, hospitality, and mixed‑use development, offering a real‑world example of how flexible land sites are evaluated in a market defined by shifting demand, evolving zoning considerations, and long‑term planning initiatives.
Downtown Dallas is entering a period of significant civic and redevelopment activity, driven by several large‑scale initiatives that are reshaping long‑term planning across the urban core. The $3.7 billion redevelopment of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center is expected to influence surrounding districts for the next decade, creating new demand patterns for hospitality, residential, and mixed‑use development.
Additional momentum is emerging from other major projects, including:
- Potential relocation of the Dallas Mavericks to the City Hall or Convention Center area
- $3.5 billion Newpark District
- Hunt Realty’s $5 billion Reunion redevelopment
- $3.7 billion Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center expansion
These initiatives collectively reflect:
- A broader shift toward district‑level investment strategies
- Priorities around connectivity, density, and long‑term adaptability
- Factors that directly shape how developers and investors evaluate sites like 1823 Cadiz
“Downtown Dallas is in a moment where individual sites can tell a much larger story,” said Tanya Ragan, President of Wildcat Management. “1823 Cadiz illustrates how land, location, and timing intersect, and why understanding district‑level momentum is essential for evaluating long‑term opportunities.”
Wildcat Management’s broader portfolio reinforces this perspective. The firm’s work spans multiple downtown districts, including the relocation and preservation of the Historic Liberty Building and the recent investment positioning update for the Purse Building in the Government District. These projects reflect a consistent approach: evaluating opportunities through the lens of long‑term familiarity with Dallas’ evolving urban landscape.
