As Dallas experiences a wave of major public and private investment, Wildcat Management reports national and international attention to its downtown portfolio. The firm’s flagship assets, the historic Purse Building and 1823 Cadiz Street, reflect both preservation and progress in a rapidly expanding urban market.
-- Wildcat Management announced rising investor engagement across its downtown portfolio as Dallas advances a new phase of large-scale redevelopment and infrastructure investment. The company’s two current offerings, The Purse Building and 1823 Cadiz Street, illustrate how legacy preservation and ground-up development are converging to define the city’s next decade of growth.
Investor interest in Wildcat’s holdings has strengthened in parallel with a series of milestone projects reshaping the Dallas central business district. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Texas Stock Exchange on September 30, 2025 positions Dallas as an emerging financial hub, while construction is underway on the $3.7 billion Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center expansion, which the City expects to inaugurate in April 2029. Together, these initiatives underscore long-term confidence in Dallas as a global center for commerce and real-estate investment.
“The national conversation around Dallas has changed dramatically,” said Tanya Ragan, president of Wildcat Management. “Major capital is returning to urban cores, and Dallas stands out for its scale, accessibility, and pro-business climate. Our properties represent both sides of that growth story - heritage and horizon.”
The Purse Building, a six-story historic landmark originally constructed in 1905, has been fully modernized while retaining its architectural character. The 65,000-square-foot property qualifies for Federal (20%) and State (25%) Historic Tax Credits along with a 10-year City of Dallas Historic Tax Abatement and City Center TIF District benefits. Concepts by Merriman Anderson Architects demonstrate potential for either a boutique hotel or residential conversion, making the asset one of the few turnkey historic properties of institutional scale in a major U.S. downtown.
Located a few blocks away, 1823 Cadiz Street represents the forward-looking side of Wildcat’s portfolio. The income-producing property is the largest contiguous land parcel available in Downtown Dallas and offers flexible zoning with no height restrictions. Situated within both the Newpark TIF District and a federally designated Opportunity Zone, the site offers favorable incentives for institutional and cross-border investors pursuing large-scale ground-up development. Concept studies by Merriman Anderson Architects illustrate options for multifamily, hospitality, and mixed-use projects.
“From The Purse Building to 1823 Cadiz, our strategy has always been about aligning with the city’s momentum,” Ragan added. “Dallas is evolving at an extraordinary pace, and these projects demonstrate how legacy and new development can coexist to create long-term value for the market and the community.”
As investor attention toward Dallas intensifies, Wildcat Management continues to advance institutional-scale projects that reflect the city’s transition from regional center to global investment hub. The company’s portfolio positions Dallas at the intersection of heritage preservation and future-focused urban growth.
