Inspire Dallas

Delivering the largest public works project in City of Dallas history.

Our Flagship Project

The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Expansion

Inspire Dallas was selected by the City of Dallas to lead one of the largest public investments in our city’s history: the expansion and modernization of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

This project is not only about a new building — it’s about creating a civic anchor that strengthens downtown, connects neighborhoods, and positions Dallas as a leader among global convention destinations.

Our role

Trusted stewardship
As the owner’s representative, Inspire Dallas is responsible for guiding this project from vision to reality. We coordinate with the City, contractors, designers, and community stakeholders to ensure the project is delivered on time, on budget, and in line with the community’s expectations.
Powered by partnership
Our team is built on Dallas-based knowledge. By elevating the work of over 25 local firms and contractors, Inspire Dallas ensures that the benefits of this once-in-a-generation investment are felt across the city.
Backed by proven experience
With Matthews Southwest as our foundation, Inspire Dallas brings decades of experience delivering complex, high-profile projects across North America and abroad. That expertise gives Dallas the confidence that the convention center expansion will set a national standard.

Community first. City focused.

From workforce opportunities to neighborhood connections, Inspire Dallas is ensuring that the benefits of this project extend well beyond downtown. Our role is to make sure the expansion is more than a construction project — it is a catalyst for jobs, opportunity, and long-term civic growth.

Inspire Dallas is building for the future.

The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center is only the beginning. Our model is designed to guide Dallas through its most ambitious civic projects — always with local expertise, proven leadership, and community at the center.
