Wildcat Management Roars into Mansfield with $150 Million Mixed-Use Development: Breaking Ground in 2024

DALLAS, Texas: There’s a new cat in town in Mansfield, Texas. Known for its thought-forward prowess, Wildcat Management, owned by Tanya Ragan, is expanding its pawprint into further reaches of North Texas. The project, called Castle Ranch, is expected to break ground in 2024. This $150 million mixed-use development will include multifamily, townhomes, retail, and live/work space, all activated by pocket parks, walkable streets, sidewalks, and pedestrian paths. 

Castle Ranch will create an entirely new district, built from the ground up, that will connect to the extensive city trail system, an adjacent dog park, and a city park that has been in the works since the approval by city taxpayers in November 2022. The project constitutes one of the largest contiguous parcels within Mansfield and is within walking distance to downtown, entertainment, shopping, and restaurants. Geographically, Castle Ranch boasts beautiful, sweeping landscapes and green spaces, yet is only minutes away from major highways such as I-20 and Hwy 287. 

Says Ragan: “I am excited about the opportunity to apply Wildcat’s years of community building and urban renewal experience in downtown Dallas toward Mansfield’s visionary efforts. Our public-private partnership will yield benefits to generations of Mansfield’s citizens.”

Working with local officials and area stakeholders, Wildcat Management aims to enhance the western side of town and bring value to Mansfield as a whole. Wildcat Management will maintain many interests in downtown Dallas, including housing its corporate headquarters. As Wildcat Management expands its development reach, more announcements will be made soon.
