The project was set for development on 100 acres of land located between 159th Street, 167th Street, US Highway 69 and Antioch Road. One of the main anchor components of the project was a multi -sport complex — an approximately 300,000 square -foot multi -sport indoor athletic complex for regional sports tournaments and local sports leagues, practices and community wellness. The Multi -Sport Complex design and operation plan was to attract and host sporting events and tournaments for multiple sports, including local, regional and national hockey, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and futsal tournaments, practices, and clinics. The Multi -Sport Complex was also proposed to include supporting amenities that will serve both participants and spectators, including without limitation, food services, team meeting and party rooms, and viewing mezzanines overlooking the fields and courts. The sports park was proposed to be one piece within the mega mixed -use development that was also set to include a 3,500-seat arena/civic and community center to host sporting events and concerts, retail, restaurant and entertainment space, a neighborhood shopping center, three new hotel developments, class A office space, and residential multifamily developments. The project was seeking use of various public tax investments, including Sales Tax Revenue (STAR) bond financing, Community improvement District (CID) financing, and Transportation Development District (fDD) financing. Hunden's analysis included projections related to the use of these public investment tools. The Bluhawk district is approaching approvals for development, construction and financing.

The implementation of the master plan is projected to be a multi -year development of a 30-acre mixed -use district, a renovated arena and a new/expanded convention center, which will have the largest ballroom in the U.S. The Master Plan focused on creating a synergistic walkable development that provides continuity between the KBHCCD, other City -owned properties, private development(s), and transportation initiatives. Hunden conducted a thorough market demand analysis for the convention center market, HQ hotel, and multi -use mixed - use district surrounding the new facility, including review of current offerings, historical performance, and business model review. The scope also included an economic, demographic, and tourism analysis, a comprehensive convention center competitive set analysis, support amenity analysis, and a headquarter hotel package analysis. Hunden then worked with the planning team to create a convention center needs and program for the expansion/modification of KBHCCD. Once the program was established, Hunden created demand and financial projections to determine how the market would absorb the recommended $6 billion in developments. From there, Hunden completed economic, fiscal, and employment impact models to determine the direct, indirect, and induced impacts generated by projected visitors to the re -imagined Dallas Convention Center, as well as the mixed -use district. Hunden also identified one of the key financing tools used for the project, the Project Finance Zone, which allowed for a redirection of state hotel tax receipts to the project. The team continues refine the plan, program, projections, and funding execution, as well as provided P3 opportunities advisory services to the City.
