The city of Arlington is nestled between Dallas and Fort Worth. It is home to about 380,000 residents, the Texas Rangers baseball team, the Dallas Cowboys and a flurry of construction activity. Nearly $3.32 billion has been invested in Arlington’s economy in projects that were either under construction, approved or completed during 2017. Still more new projects have been announced, so the building boom is likely to continue.
The biggest project rising in Arlington is the $1.1-billion Globe Life Field, owned by the city of Arlington and the future home of the Rangers. Alongside the ballpark is a new mixed-use development dubbed Texas Live! The $250-million project aims to fill the space between Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium with an entertainment district that replaces surface parking lots.
