The '''Reunion district''' of [[downtown Dallas]], [[Texas]] ([[United States|USA]]) is an area in western downtown anchored by the [[Hyatt Regency Dallas]] and [[Reunion Tower]]. The name "Reunion" originates from the mid-nineteenth century commune [[La Reunion (Dallas)|La Reunion]].

The district included [[Reunion Arena]] from 1980 to its demolition in 2009. The arena was originally intended to be an economic engine to drive redevelopment of the surrounding district. However, the real estate bust of the 1980s discouraged owner [[Ray Lee Hunt|Ray Hunt]] and his Woodbine Development Corp. from investing beyond the Hyatt and the Tower, and no further building took place. It was originally proposed to be named "Esplanade" by marketing consultants, but this was rejected by developer John Scovell of Woodbine, in favor of the Reunion name after studying the local La Reunion colony.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hall |first=Cheryl |date=2013-04-13 |title=Reunion Tower marks 35 years as Dallas landmark |url=https://woodbinedevelopment.com/woodbinedevelopment.com/reunion-tower-marks-35-years-dallas-landmark |access-date=2026-01-26 |website=Woodbine Development Corporation}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Staff |first=Entertainment |date=2015-04-16 |title=10 fun facts about Reunion Tower, Dallas' favorite spherical landmark |url=https://www.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/2015/04/16/10-fun-facts-about-reunion-tower-dallas-favorite-spherical-landmark/ |access-date=2026-01-26 |website=Dallas News |language=en}}</ref> With the [[Dallas Mavericks|Mavericks]] and [[Dallas Stars|Stars]] having relocated to [[American Airlines Center]], plans indicated that the land would be put to other uses after demolition of the arena in November 2009, no further use for the former arena site has been found.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}}{{Update after|2009}}.

The Reunion District of downtown Dallas, Texas, is undergoing major redevelopment. The area had remained largely vacant since the demolition of Reunion Arena in 2009. Hunt Realty Investments is leading a $5 billion project to transform 20 acres around the Hyatt Regency Dallas and Reunion Tower. The plan includes housing, with many units designated as affordable, a hotel with 600 to 1,000 rooms, 150,000 square feet of retail space, up to 2 million square feet of office space, and a 3- to 4-acre public park.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brown |first=Steve |last2=read |first2=2023{{!}}Published 6:00 a m {{!}}5 min |date=2023-12-15 |title=Hunt Realty unveils $5 billion redevelopment plan for downtown Dallas' Reunion project |url=https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2023/12/15/hunt-realty-rolls-out-a-new-5-billion-redevelopment-plan-for-downtown-dallas-reunion/ |access-date=2025-08-22 |website=Dallas News |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Staff |first=T.

The site could support around 5,000 new residents. That would be about one-third of the current downtown population. Hart Howerton, a design and planning firm, is leading the project's master planning.

The redevelopment is timed to coincide with the $3 billion rebuild of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. The plan also includes upgrades to Union Station and better pedestrian connections.

Some infrastructure issues remain unresolved. These include the alignment of a proposed high-speed rail line and the final location of the new convention center.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chhetri |first=Devyani |last2=Wooten |first2=Nick |last3=Bailey Jr |first3=Everton |last4=Gaudet |first4=Amber |date=2025-03-17 |title=Could Dallas' convention center move near Reunion Tower?
