No. I was talking about Memorial City Mall. The mall is staying but the general area is being converted to a town center.

Yes, MetroNational is adding an outdoor section, similar to what some other malls have done (First Colony and Baybrook), though hopefully better, on the old Sears corner. Looking forward to it.

I had assumed you were referring to Town & Country Mall, which was redeveloped into CityCentre.

The convention center project, which was touted by stakeholders as a way to position Dallas as a more competitive destination for business travel, is also expected to open up around 50 acres of development potential for the private sector. The vision is to create an entertainment district that will include restaurants, bars, music venues, activated green space, hotels and more.

Plans also feature a deck park that will cover the Interstate 30 canyon and connect downtown to the Cedars, sparking reinvestment opportunities in Southern Dallas.

“If we get it right, this is going to be the start of a brand-new neighborhood that may redefine what we think of as Dallas,” Visit Dallas President and CEO Craig Davis said at an Aug. 23 Bisnow event. “You won’t know you’re in Southern Dallas and you won’t know you’re downtown because it’s all going to be one. This will psychologically change everything

I give props to Dallas for always thinking big.
If they executed all their plans as intended Dallas would be epic. Almost half as good as their neighbor to the south. ALMOST!

It was a given this would pass. People love spending other people's money... all the spending proposals in Houston passed as well!
