WHY THIS MATTERS

What You'll Learn

  • How developers downtown are seeking to form a collective identity by emphasizing walkability and connectivity.
  • How leaders of the city and development community are positioning South Dallas as an emerging market.
  • How the evolution of transit options, from highways to rails, has affected district development.
  • Which asset types have maintained their demand and profitability, and how plans have shifted. What will the future hold in terms of new development versus repositioning?
  • Where is capital being deployed, who is active in the area, and where investments are being made? How have challenges influenced decisions and led to success?
  • How billions of dollars in improvements to the Convention Center and Fair Park will foster connections between Downtown and South Dallas. 
  • Ways in which infrastructure improvements will help advance economic development in the Southern Sector of Dallas County.
     

How You'll Do More Business: Dallas has seen unparalleled success across all forms of real estate, with more activity on the horizon. Join us to learn how billions of dollars in new construction, acquisitions and redevelopment are transforming South Dallas and Downtown.
