MLB Rangers Move Up Development On Texas Live! Complex Across From Globe Life Park

With the MLB Rangers out of the playoffs "faster than fans hoped," groundbreaking on the $250M Texas Live! entertainment and hotel complex across from Globe Life Park in Arlington has been "moved up from November to next week," according to Robert Cadwallader of the FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM. The $100M first phase "includes 200,000 square feet of dining and entertainment venues, an outdoor event pavilion with a capacity of 5,000 people, a 300-room high-rise hotel and 35,000 square feet of meeting and convention space." Baltimore-based developer Cordish Cos. and the Rangers said that the facility will open in '18 -- the "dining and entertainment portions on Opening Day in the spring and the hotel/convention part that fall." The two-story complex will be "built on 7 acres." Texas Live! would be adjacent to the proposed $1B retractable-roof ballpark for the Rangers if voters "approve public funding" for the city’s $500M share on Nov. 8 (FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 10/21). In Dallas, Jeff Mosier notes other "more ambitious developments have been proposed" for the area since '00, but "each one failed." Arlington is putting $50M "toward construction, and the project could also receive" as much as $50M more in tax abatements. City officials and the Rangers previously said that the development would go forward "no matter what happened with the Nov. 8 vote." The development is "expected to include 200,000 square feet of restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 10/21).
