The Adelson family, majority owners of the Dallas Mavericks, purchased a large plot of land near the former site of Texas Stadium in Irving at the end of 2023, and it now appears work is beginning to build a destination resort on that land.
Irving City Council members considered a zoning change for the land on Thursday afternoon, rezoning the land from transit-oriented mixed use to high-intensity mixed use. Three of the authorized uses for this zoning highlighted at the meeting are destination resorts, casino gaming and casinos.
Philip Sanders, assistant city manager for the city of Irving, said the Adelsons identified the possibility of a “destination resort concept” on the land.
