TEXAS RANGERS SELECT MANHATTAN
CONSTRUCTION CO. AS BALLPARK
PROJECT GENERAL CONTRACTOR
The Texas Rangers selected
Manhattan Construction Company
as the general contractor for the
new ballpark.
Manhattan Construction Company
first worked for the Rangers
organization in 1994 when it built
the Texas Rangers’ current home,
Globe Life Park in Arlington. Since
that time, the company completed
five renovation/upgrade projects
on the ballpark. Manhattan
Construction Company also built the
ballpark’s next door neighbor, AT&T
Stadium.
“There was great interest and
competition for the General
Contractor’s role to build our new
ballpark. However, at the end of
the interviews and qualification
process, one firm stood out above
the rest, and that was Manhattan
Construction,” said Rob Matwick,
Rangers executive vice president of
business operations.
“We’re fortunate to have a world-
class company like Manhattan in
our own backyard. As a builder,
Manhattan prides itself on its ability
to lead these complex fast-track
projects, which result in some of
the most iconic buildings in the
world. We’re thrilled to partner with
the Manhattan team to deliver a
new, state-of-the art ballpark in the
City of Arlington for our fans and
players,” Matwick said.
In addition to sports projects,
Manhattan’s portfolio is diverse
in terms of project size and type,
including new construction and
renovation of hospitals, airports,
education, cultural, commercial,
hospitality, government,
entertainment, mixed-use
and multi-unit living projects.
Manhattan Construction is a seven-
time recipient of the STEP Diamond
honor, a top safety honor of the
Associated Builders and Contractors,
a winner of the 2016 ABC National
Safety Excellence Award and
of the 2016 Associated General
Contractors Construction Safety
Excellence Award.
