https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2024/10/29/dallas-economic-bright-spots-linda-mcmahon.html The evolution of Dallas Executive Airport, the redevelopment of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and the growth of both new and established industries are some of the biggest economic opportunities that Dallas Economic Development Corp. CEO Linda McMahon sees for the city. McMahon officially stepped into her new role July 1 as the first CEO of the Dallas EDC, an independent entity overseen by a city council-approved board that focuses on job creation, marketing the city and attracting business investments. Since then, McMahon has been meeting with council members, real estate brokers and developers to discuss economic opportunities for North Texas' largest city. She agrees with the oft-repeated sentiment that the southern sector holds the greatest opportunity and points to projects including growth at Dallas Executive Airport and the RedBird mall redevelopment as chances for Dallas to create workforce opportunities and attract business. So what's the latest on these projects that promise to reshape the economic fabric of the city McMahon recently spoke with Dallas Business Journal about the potential of the endeavors, and recent headlines showcase the progress being made week by week at the various sites. At Dallas Executive, Burchfield & Partners LLC wants to transform the city-owned site into a premier general aviation hub as well as an economic driver for the city. The Plano-based firm plans to develop 1 million square feet on roughly 25 acres on the west side of the airport. Two hangers have already been completed, home to plane management company Jet Access and a plane repair and maintenance business, Jets MRO. A few miles away, the RedBird mall redevelopment aims to turn the 107-acre property into a high-class mixed-use complex with restaurants, retail and residential space. The effort is led by co-developers Peter Brodsky and Terrence Maiden. The property so far has attracted tenants including Chime, UT Southwestern and Dallas College. Construction began in September on a Tom Thumb grocery store for RedBird. The 50,000-square-foot location is expected to open in November 2025 and generate at least 90 jobs. Brodsky has pined for office tenants at the site but previously told DBJ that challenges including the underdeveloped office market in southern Dallas and the rise of working from home have made things more difficult. The quest to fill up parts of RedBird with office workers is a worthy conversation that needs to continue, McMahon said. "I spoke with one of the brokers who's working on the office buildings there, and we're going to be talking about what's the strategy around filling up the office buildings at the RedBird site," she said. "What other kinds of businesses would benefit from being co-located in that same location" Downtown, work began in July on the multibillion-dollar redevelopment of the Hutchison Convention Center. Scheduled to be completed in 2028, the project will double the center's ballroom space, triple its meeting room space and expand exhibition halls by 76,000 square feet. So far, 41 conventions have entered lease agreements to host events when the redeveloped facility opens in 2029. The booked events could generate an estimated $658 million in direct spending and $1 billion in economic impact. Another 92 conventions were said to be exploring booking space at the complex. The expansion project looks to make Dallas a bigger destination for conferences and conventions and is anticipated to nearly double annual attendance and revenue. McMahon said she's excited to see what the project will do for tourism and for transforming downtown Dallas. The redevelopment is attracting other investments, including Ray Washburne's recent purchase of the Greyhound bus station on Lamar Street. The FIFA 2026 World Cup is another opportunity to increase the city's visibility and amplify it globally, McMahon said. AT&T Stadium in Arlington will host nine matches, more than any other site during the tournament. Although the contests will be outside Dallas, many visitors will stay and spend in Big D -- the Dallas Sports Commission previously estimated that hosting games could generate $400 million in regional economic impact. McMahon also believes Dallas can lean on its existing sectors to further drive economic investments. Dallas-based Texas Instruments and Taiwanese-owned GlobiTech are developing large semiconductor manufacturing plants in Sherman that are anticipated to generate about 4,500 jobs. McMahon said she's had interesting conversations with leaders in the semiconductor industry and sees an opportunity to connect large businesses to the significant land Dallas has available. Another conversation McMahon has been having is with Nicole Small, CEO at Lyda Hill Philanthropies, about expanding the biotechnology sector in Dallas. Between the federal Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health planting a hub in Dallas, new companies like Verily and Koya Medical relocating to the city and the opening of the 135,000-square-foot Bridge Labs at Pegasus Park, McMahon believes Dallas has a chance to capture and attract more life science activity. McMahon also pointed to financial services as another sector where Dallas can prosper. Dallas-based TXSE Group Inc. has floated plans for the Texas Stock Exchange. The organization has raised more than $135 million from backers, aims to execute its first trades by the end of 2025 and launch listings early 2026. Goldman Sachs is building an office campus of more than 800,000 square feet on North Field Street. The 3-acre complex will serve as the regional base for the New York-based firm and is expected to house about 5,000 employees. Not only is the $500 million project a massive investment in the city, McMahon said it can serve as a way for the city to market itself to businesses that could benefit from being near Goldman Sachs. "We have such a diverse economy -- financial services, the capital markets, health care, biotechnology, technology, education," McMahon said. "Dallas is blessed with a lot of great companies that are already here. We just need to connect the dots and tell our story in a better way." _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Questions Due Date: Oct 16th 2024, 1:00 PM CDT Online Portal The purpose of this project is to enhance quality of life and pedestrian safety through construction of sidewalks and pedestrian lighting; develop bicycle paths with connections to existing and planned trails; develop landscape features; and create a distinct "Dallas Executive Airport" identity weaving throughout.
