Tanya Ragan and Wildcat Management brought 1823 Cadiz Street to market, offering investors one of Downtown Dallas’ most significant redevelopment opportunities. The 0.67-acre site in the Farmers Market District sits blocks from the $3.7 billion Dallas Convention Center project and carries unmatched scale, zoning flexibility, and visibility in a market actively drawing institutional capital.
Key Highlights
- 0.67-acre site in the Farmers Market District, blocks from the $3.7B Dallas Convention Center project
- Zoned PD 357 with no height restrictions — one of the last large parcels available in Downtown Dallas
- Located within both the Newpark TIF District and a federally designated Opportunity Zone
- Potential tax abatements and investment tax advantages for qualifying buyers
- Feasibility scenarios studied by Merriman Anderson Architects and John Carruth include multifamily (250+ units), hospitality (200-key hotel), and mixed-use development
- Currently operating as a surface parking lot, generating income while the buyer plans development
Why This Site Matters
Large, unencumbered parcels in Downtown Dallas are rare. 1823 Cadiz sits at the intersection of two of the strongest incentive frameworks available to developers in Texas — a TIF district and an Opportunity Zone — while carrying no height restrictions and proximity to one of the largest active public investment projects in the city.
Wildcat Management commissioned feasibility studies to give prospective buyers a clear picture of what the site can support. The work is done. The canvas is blank.
“This is the kind of site that defines what a city becomes. Downtown Dallas is being built right now and this parcel is in the middle of it.”
