Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center

Dallas is embarking on one of the most transformative investments in its history—a new convention center that will serve as a cornerstone for reimagining our city’s future. With a $3+ billion commitment to this visionary project, the development will not only boost Dallas’ profile as a top-tier tourism destination but also create a vibrant, walkable Convention Center District. This district will feature an authentic urban experience with dynamic dining, retail, lodging, and entertainment opportunities that reflect the heart and soul of our city.

This initiative represents more than just a building; it’s a forward-thinking effort to position Dallas as a national leader in hospitality, commerce, and urban design. As we move through this exciting phase of development, we are committed to working hand-in-hand with residents, business owners, and community leaders.

Your input is vital to ensuring that this project reflects shared values, meets local needs, and creates meaningful connections for everyone who calls Dallas home or visits our city. Together, we will shape a legacy that benefits Dallas for generations to come.
