Nice. Love seeing that area gain more retail from HPV, definitely brings more variety to the shopping scene whereas in the past they'd probably just relocate to NorthPark.

Are we just not good enough for a Bvlgari anymore orrrr…?

Yes, this move seems to be so that they can accommodate a different tenant, while moving a more mid range one to a more mid-range section of the mall. I am also still waiting to see what the old Gucci store becomes. That Alexander McQueen is the only one in Texas so that would be a great catch for N...

Some of you were concerned about what the future holds for Crayola Experience and the Plano Children's Theatre, but it does appear that they are supposed to be included within the redevelopment plans.

Mango has opened.

Unrelated to Willow Bend, but seeing that Centennial is planning to redevelop a mall of even larger scale definitely gets my hopes up a little bit more.

Does North Park still do tax free shopping for Latin American tourists? The mall needs a full spa and fine hotel. Maybe three hotels, and multi purpose skyscraper There is still the Tax Free Shopping office behind Versace. And I agree, NorthPark definitely is behind when it comes to adding mixed us...

Easily the most exciting addition in a while!

That’s such a great space too and one of the few businesses there doing good business. I really hope they have a good plan for it.

Gucci is now open in their new space. Apparently this is their biggest one in Texas, and among the top 10 largest Gucci locations in the country. I wonder what the future holds for the other Dallas location, hopefully a simple refresh or smaller expansion? https://dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublis...

Previous Dreamscape space will be a new location for Buckle. I assumed Pinto Ranch would leave when Tecovas was announced. The Preston area is a better fit for them. That area is definitely coming back up. As for the NorthPark vacancies, it is interesting to see what’ll happen in the near future as...

Sounds like the new Dior store will have a cafe on the second floor. The Miami location has one and it looks cool! I was wondering why they needed so much space. Still think it is a tragedy all of that timeless Ralph Lauren build out is in some dumpster. As stated in a previous post the current Ral...

Something is definitely going into the current Byredo location. They have to move to a temp space between Swatch and Breitling until their new spot opens in the old Swatch space in December.

Where are the images that show the southwest side of the mall is being demolished (where Crayola Factory is)? Looks to me like the parking garage behind the restaurant thing, the blank lot in front of it, and the Dillards are the primary things changing. All of that is on the north east side. This ...

Goodbye unopened movie theater space, we hardly knew ye. Also looks like the Crayola Experience is getting the axe... Whole building is gone. Not a bad change as long as they still bring entertainment to the rest of the center somehow - although hopefully with broader appeal. Crayola definitely sho...

If the main thing they're doing to the restaurant row is building the hotel and adding some more greenery, why don't they lease the rest of the spaces now?

NorthPark lists it as a temporary closure. Kind of weird for a relatively new store, but it's typical.

Went to the new Nike store that took over the two story H & M space. I have to say I was underwhelmed I was expecting some kind or WOW Nike Experience and I left feeling more like outlet store. The old store didn’t feel like anything important either, pretty much the same as the outlet. I think...

Looks like Intimissimi is going to be opening up at this location, following their Galleria location.

Okay, I only saw the Instagram post by Highland Park Village and haven’t made it down there yet. Maybe that’s just the temporary space and that’s why it resembles an Ikea.

Proquest20

Chanel’s now open, and from the pictures I’ve seen I like it. Usually their stores feel like pop ups you’d find inside of a Macy’s store but this one actually looks really nice. Nothing on store designs of other high fashion brands, it reminds me a little of Ikea this time around.

Max Mara closed a lot of their stores, but maybe it will make a comeback at some point. Wolford also closed a lot of stores and has started reopening again as has happened recently in Atlanta and Houston. If Giorgio Armani ever came back, I think they'd go to HP Village this round. It gives some di...

Theory just recently closed at HP Village. Loewe is taking that space. How big are their spaces usually? They’d look cool in the old Clergerie space I don't think too large. That corridor would be a nice space for them. The current Gucci spot used to be two stores (Max Mara & Custo Barcelona) b...

Also, I actually wouldn’t even be mad if they added a Rainforest Cafe to the old Theodore space - they haven’t opened new locations in years but it would fit right into NorthPark’s indoor/outdoor setting, and it’s popular with tourists

NorthPark has had Glamour Shots, Things Remembered, GNC, Texas Treasures, Visionworks and more and it was fine back then. I think the store lineup has improved.

I liked the other idea about demolishing both American Girl and Belk, and turning that section into high rise apartments. That way, they could even have their own entrances without disrupting the flow from the mall itself. Not sure Dave and Busters would take the whole Saks space, but I’m sure they ...

It’s not a nail in the coffin, it’s just a weird use of space and definitely a sign that NorthPark’s feeling the same struggles as other retail centers in the area, or in the country for that matter.

Tommy Bahama has a 4th store in NorthPark as well. And the Plano store is at Legacy West (in fact, the only Tommy Bahama restaurant in DFW is there too). Yeah, but the NorthPark store has been there way longer than the locations in Plano and at Clearfork, both which are relatively newer centers. So...

It's possible that the chain performs well in Dallas as a whole, but their customer base simply no longer shops at the Galleria (and for what reason do they have to?).

The Galleria looks awful. The inside is filled with wallboard, and from the tollway, you see a closed Belk, Pottery Barn, and soon to be closed American Girl.
