The Cordish Companies & Texas Rangers
The partnership between The Cordish Companies and the Texas Rangers stands as a compelling example of how a professional sports organization and a world-class mixed-use developer can work together to create an entirely new sports-anchored destination. Their collaboration in Arlington has helped transform the area surrounding the Rangers’ home into a dynamic year-round sports, entertainment, hospitality and residential district. The partnership has continued to build on a shared vision for creating a vibrant destination that extends far beyond game day and brings people together throughout the year.
This remarkable alliance will take center stage in a featured keynote conversation with Blake Cordish, Principal of The Cordish Companies, and Rob Matwick, Executive Vice President, Public Affairs for the Texas Rangers. Together, Blake and Rob will offer an inside perspective on the evolution of the Arlington Entertainment District, the strategy behind the partnership, and the lessons learned from bringing a major sports-anchored mixed-use vision to life. Their conversation will provide an especially compelling look at the intersection of sports, real estate, entertainment and placemaking—and what it takes to create a destination with lasting impact.
