Dallas-Based Developer Secures 30 Acres in Mansfield’s $2.5 Billion Staybolt Street District
Dallas-based developer House of Tangram has secured 30 acres in Mansfield’s $2.5 billion Staybolt Street District with plans for a convention center and high-tech, sports-centric hotels.
The site includes House of Tangram’s Carbon Mansfield, a 288-room hotel. The developer touts the property as “the world’s first patented sports-centric hotel engineered for athletes and competitive teams.”
Hotel Features and Convention Center
The hotel’s AI platform creates personalized recovery environments and provides real-time biometrics and climate systems that adapt to each guest.
The more than 33,000-square-foot Mansfield Convention Center is designed with spaces for esports, medical technology, and high-performance events. The venue will be owned by the city.
“This project is more than just mixed-use,” Shawn Ellis, founder and CEO of House of Tangram, said in a statement. “The district is designed as a live-operating system for modern life: convention centers reimagined, hotels with AI in their walls, retail that moves like culture—think adaptive storefronts, curated activations, and brand-first experiences.”
Stadium and Entertainment District
The hotel and convention center will be located adjacent to the under-construction 166,000-square-foot multisport stadium. The venue will seat approximately 7,000 people and host sports, concerts, and other events.
Set to open in 2026, the stadium will be the home of North Texas SC, the MLS NEXT Pro affiliate of FC Dallas. REV Entertainment and FC Dallas Management, the facility and soccer complex management affiliate of FC Dallas and a subsidiary of Hunt Sports LLC, will operate the stadium.
Dual-Branded Hotel Concept and Retail
House of Tangram plans to launch a dual-branded hotel concept, Cache Legitimate & KUBO, beside the stadium that will feature robotic bartenders, drone delivery, and immersive media walls.
The development will also include Staybolt Street Retail — House of Tangram with more than 100,000 square feet of walkable shopping area.
Apartment Communities and Project Timeline
Two apartment communities will also be built in the district. STEAM will feature 320 lofts with rooftop gardens and communal kitchens. Verona Gardens will include 400 units with hydroponics, pet studios, green roofs, and built-in climate intelligence.
House of Tangram will break ground on its project in the summer of 2026 with a targeted completion of mid-2028.
At full build-out, the site will include 750 hotel rooms, more than 700 apartment units, 33,000 square feet of convention space, 50,000 square feet of medical office space, and over 100,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
Development Manager and City Approval
The Beck Group serves as the development manager, fiduciary, and one of the project’s general contractors.
Mansfield City Council approved an amended master plan agreement during its July 28 meeting for the project. The city set the minimum spend in its contract at $200 million, which will be supplied by House of Tangram and its funding partners. The firm’s exact capital investment has not been determined, the developer said.
“Mansfield has always been known for sports and bringing a hotel concept that focuses on athletes next to our incoming Mansfield Stadium is a home run,” Mansfield Mayor Michael Evans said in a statement. “This innovative project aligns with our goals to focus on the future and develop a strong economy, and this partnership will make Staybolt Street Entertainment District the place to be.”
Conclusion
The development of the Staybolt Street District is a significant project that will bring new opportunities for entertainment, sports, and economic growth to the city of Mansfield. With its innovative features and state-of-the-art facilities, this project is expected to become a major destination for athletes, teams, and fans alike.
