Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington MSA
Illustrative seedTexas / South·Destination dashboard
Large diversified MSA with strong corporate and leisure. Supply growth historically elevated — underwrite absorption carefully. City HOT tax collections are a room-revenue proxy — not RevPAR/OCC/ADR.
Metrics and signals below are illustrative Capital Graph placeholders for IC-memo drafting — replace with licensed STR / Tourism Economics before underwriting. Human-touch / talent capacity remains a CapEx and refinance greenlight gate.
Which Dallas — scarcity vs impact
Which DFW: Uptown/Downtown Dallas corporate, Fort Worth leisure/group, and airport corridors are separate theses. Large diversified MSA with historically elevated supply — underwrite absorption carefully. City of Dallas HOT = municipal tax / room-revenue proxy (city ≠ MSA) — NOT RevPAR/OCC/ADR. Market OCC/ADR remain illustrative.

Illustrative: fast inventory growth competes for talent and trades. CapEx greenlights clear staffing + GC capacity.
Dallas local HOT FY2025 (tax / room-revenue proxy — NOT RevPAR)
City of Dallas FY2025 Local HOT (Tax Code Ch.351): rate 7.0%, revenue $79,306,924. Implied taxable room-revenue base ≈ $79.31M / 0.07 = ~$1.13B. Also Ch.334 venue tax rate 2.0% / revenue $23,873,984 (separate — do not fold into Ch.351 implied room rev). Caveats: self-reported; city ≠ Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington MSA; hotel vs STR remit scope varies; legacy SODA vmy5-jctb lacked City of Dallas rows after FY2018. Tax ≠ RevPAR/OCC/ADR.
