There’s some fresh clarity around plans for the multibillion-dollar redevelopment of Dallas’ Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
The design presented by project officials during an April 3 briefing matched what was approved last year by Dallas City Council, which would mean the convention center expands to the southeast and northwest.
That would rebuff a proposal by Hunt Realty to shift the center closer to the Reunion district and does not resolve City Hall’s conflict with real estate investor Ray Washburne, who owns the former Dallas Morning News building that would be impacted by the new convention center.
Dallas City Council approved this convention center layout in March 2024 to avoid conflicting with a Union Pacific rail line and the Texas Department of Transportation’s plans to widen Interstate 30, and to keep the city’s options open in regards to a potential high-speed train project.
