Dallas keeps scaling up its ambitions—and lately, the skyline can barely keep pace. American Airlines just green‑lit a $4‑billion Terminal F that will double gate capacity by 2027, with Terminal C’s refresh timed for the 2026 FIFA World Cup crowds. Downtown, Goldman Sachs’ 800,000‑square‑foot river‑view campus is rising, while Wells Fargo’s twin tower Las Colinas HQ tops out for a 2025 debut. The Harwood District flaunts its Swiss‑Texan swagger, with Kengo Kuma’s 22-story Hôtel Swexan showcasing natural materials, elegant interiors and a rooftop infinity pool. Meanwhile, uptown retail gets an urban‑format IKEA in late 2025, adding to a flurry of luxe flagships and the JW Marriott that opened in the Arts District last year. Beyond the glam, investors track fundamentals: Dallas–Fort Worth added 59,000 jobs since March 2024—second only to New York—and finance payrolls keep swelling on what locals now call “Y’all Street” (validated by ranking Top 5 in our overall Prosperity index). The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center replacement and a $1.6‑billion plan to trench I‑345 promise fresh, developable acreage and long‑overdue neighborhood reconnection—updating city planning that cut off Black neighborhoods in the early 1970s.
