Work starting on $250 million Texas Live!

​ARLINGTON – The Cordish Companies breaks ground this week on the first phase of Texas Live!, a stadium entertainment district ​​​near Globe Life Park and AT&T Stadium.

Phase one of the $250 million Texas Live! will cost $100 million. 

The project will include 200,000 sf of dining and entertainment space, a 5,000-capacity outdoor event pavilion, a 300-room full-service convention hotel, and a 35,000-sf meeting and convention facility. 

The dining and entertainment portion of the project will open in spring 2018 with the Rangers’ opening day, and the hotel/convention facility will open in fall 2018.

The Rangers have proposed a new $1 billion stadium, contingent on Nov. 8 voter approval of $500 million in public financing. 

Texas Live! is expected to bring over 3,000 new jobs and three million visitors to the city.
