About

THE COMPANY

The Cordish Companies' origins date back to 1910 and encompass four generations of privately-held, family ownership. During the past ten decades, The Cordish Companies has grown into a global leader with ten major lines of business: Commercial Real Estate, Coworking Spaces, Entertainment Districts, Gaming, Hotels, International Development, Private Equity, Residential, Restaurants and Sports-Anchored Districts.

CAPABILITIES

We pride ourselves on the breadth and depth of in-house expertise and capabilities, in both project development and business operations. Within real estate development and management, we have full in-house capabilities, with departments of dedicated and knowledgeable professionals that cover all aspects of the development and construction process. This includes Accounting, Marketing, Human Resources, Finance, Construction, Architecture, Engineering, Leasing and Property Management.

We augment this project development capability with market-leading entertainment, gaming, residential and hospitality operations, all built in-house. Uniquely among developers, this allows us not simply to build and manage, but to operate everything from entertainment venues to restaurants to full-fledged resort casinos, luxury hotels, and luxury residential towers. Our ability to operate in a first-class manner across this wide range of businesses is central to our ability to consistently deliver award-winning and trend-setting destinations.

THE LIVE! BRAND

Live! began with The Cordish Companies' branded entertainment districts, which set a new standard for design and best-in-class customer experiences. Projects such as Texas Live!, Xfinity Live!, Kansas City Live! and Bally Sports Live! are among the highest profile sports and entertainment destinations in the country. Live! has now grown to encompass branded casinos and hotels, all delivering our unique blend of excitement, customer service, and best-in-class design and amenities.
