The Dallas Business Journal included Wildcat Management on its annual list of Commercial Real Estate Developers in North Texas, ranked by square footage of space developed in North Texas in 2023. Wildcat appeared at No. 27 on the list, with 286,400 square feet currently under development — a figure that reflects the firm’s active pipeline in the Farmers Market District and beyond.
Key Highlights
- Wildcat Management ranked No. 27 on the Dallas Business Journal’s 2024 list of Commercial Real Estate Developers in North Texas
- 286,400 square feet currently under development across North Texas projects
- The list ranks firms by square footage developed in North Texas in 2023, covering Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant counties
- Wildcat is one of the few woman-owned firms to appear on the list, which is dominated by institutional and large-scale developers
Why This Recognition Matters
The Dallas Business Journal’s developer list is a peer benchmark — it measures output, not profile. Appearing on it alongside firms like Crow Holdings, Trammell Crow, and Lincoln Property Company places Wildcat Management in the company of the most active development organizations in the region. For a woman-owned firm that operates independently and focuses on urban infill and historic preservation, that placement carries real weight.
Wildcat’s 286,400 square feet under development reflects a pipeline that includes projects in the Farmers Market District and the firm’s planned mixed-use development in Mansfield — continuing the kind of community-scale work that has defined Ragan’s approach to North Texas real estate for two decades.
