Wildcat Management President Tanya Ragan published a new analysis examining why 1823 Cadiz Street is positioned along downtown Dallas’ southern edge at a moment when convention center investment, residential demand, Opportunity Zone incentives and southern downtown growth are converging around one of the last fully entitled development sites in the Dallas CBD.
Key Highlights
- 1823 Cadiz Street is a 0.67-acre fully entitled site in the Dallas CBD with PD 357 zoning, no height cap, no parking minimum, and a 20:1 floor area ratio
- The site sits within the Newpark TIF District and a federal Opportunity Zone
- Located within walking distance of Dallas City Hall, the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center expansion, and the Farmers Market District
- The $3.7 billion convention center redevelopment is funded and on track for a 2029 opening
- Dallas-Fort Worth adds roughly 700 new residents per day and attracts approximately 49 million annual visitors
Why This Matters
The southern edge of downtown Dallas is drawing civic, investor, and developer attention at a level not seen in years. 1823 Cadiz sits at the convergence of those forces with a fully entitled development package that removes the barriers most downtown sites carry. Ragan’s analysis makes the case that the window for early positioning in this corridor is narrowing as public investment and private capital continue to move in.
“Dallas is still in the window where decisions made today can shape the city for generations. But that window will not stay open forever.”
