REDnews names Wildcat Management president Tanya Ragan a Texas ICON, the only woman honored, celebrating her leadership and statewide impact through transformative projects including the Purse Building, 1823 Cadiz Street, and Mansfield’s Castle Ranch.
-- Tanya Ragan, President of Wildcat Management, has been named a Texas ICON by REDnews, the only woman selected among the top 20 most influential commercial real estate professionals in the state, highlighting her impact on Downtown Dallas, North Texas, and the broader commercial real estate landscape.
As President of Wildcat Management, Ragan has led transformative development projects across Texas, with notable work in Dallas’ Central Business District, including the revitalization of the Farmers Market District and the Government District, as well as strategic developments such as the Purse Building and 1823 Cadiz Street. Her approach blends thoughtful design with innovative planning, establishing her as a recognized expert and frequent speaker on real estate and development trends.
Beyond Dallas, Ragan continues to expand her influence with the Castle Ranch project in Mansfield. Through these initiatives, she champions sustainable growth, vibrant communities, and economic development, solidifying her reputation as one of Texas’ most influential commercial real estate leaders.
Ragan has become one of the most vocal champions of Dallas and North Texas, repeatedly describing the region as “land of opportunity” and emphasizing that she is all in on the city’s long term growth story.
“Receiving the Texas ICON recognition is truly an honor,” said Ragan. “My work in real estate has always focused on making a meaningful impact - respecting community heritage, embracing innovative solutions, and empowering others to help shape a stronger, brighter future.”
The recognition comes as Wildcat is marketing two high profile opportunities in the urban core. The Purse Building at 601 Elm Street is positioned as a potential corporate headquarters or boutique hospitality project in the Government District, near major institutional investment and the planned convention center redevelopment.
At 1823 Cadiz Street, Wildcat controls a large development site within Dallas’ Convention Center District that the firm is positioning for high rise multifamily with the potential for activated ground floor space. The site sits close to the future convention center, the Farmers Market neighborhood and proposed arena and mixed-use plans, placing it at the center of Dallas’s next wave of investment.
Ragan’s Texas ICON profile appears in the Texas ICONS issue of REDnews, which highlights leading commercial real estate professionals and their contributions across the state.
