A boutique hotel would be the best bet for the centre for sure. Not entirely sure where they'd put it, but they definitely should. A hotel would also be nice at West Village.

I could also see this Tory Burch location moving or closing at some point. It’s nice that Trina Turk and Tory Burch have given the village a little bit of variety from being “ultra luxury” while still keeping it nicer than NorthPark. I do think we’ll have the Anthropologie situation repeat itself w...

According to Trina Turk website they already included Mr. Turk in their location. If it's moving, I think it may actually be better suited for NorthPark or Preston Center Plaza.

Guess it seems like Claires is basically trying to do a campaign to be a brand that “can sell anywhere and everywhere”, basically from Walmart to other high end locations. I’m really intrigued if anything as to what they have planned for here. Still think if I were them I’d rather be next to the new...

Hard to imagine the luxury brands leaving NP mall. Seems like the one advantage NorthPark has is it is surrounded by wealthier areas. HP Village is obviously nice too, but do people want outdoor shopping in Texas? I'm not much of a shopper, so I'd certainly pick and outdoor/walkable area over a mal...

Maybe we can get a Charlotte Russe in the remainder of the Nike space?

Wallboard for the new Claire’s went up this morning. It’s located 2 doors down from Doc Martens. Can't wait 5 years from now when all the luxury brands relocate to Highland Park Village or just leave the market entirely and we essentially are left with another Galleria Dallas. We've already seen it...

Typical mall stores are fading, it's good for North Park to have the ones that are still around. Other malls like Town East, Parks at Arlington or Stonebriar are doing well for what they are. It's pretty interesting though that the only real upscale mall in all of Texas is in Houston's Galleria. It...

I don’t think NP is going downhill. There used to be a lot more typical mall stores throughout the center. Claire’s fills a void where there currently isn’t a store that caters to that sector. Perhaps they feel they’ve gotten too selective and are trying to balance things out some. I’d rather a sto...

I just think it goes show that NorthPark is absolutely not immune to the struggles many shopping centres are going through within recent years, unlike what some of you are trying to suggest. There’s still numerous restaurant vacancies, and none of the restaurants there now are anything exclusive (ex...

Expanding Lululemon in place instead of moving it to the Victoria's Secret wing and giving it a huge space there? Huge mistake on the part of Northpark.

I feel like NorthPark is maybe in a struggle, or maybe just unable to sustain itself being an upscale mall. Think about it, we lost Panerai, BVLGARI, Valentino, and Cartier, amongst others. And we get a Claires? ... I feel like that is glossing over the new additions of Texas Exclusives Marni , Mai...

I would think that 55+ apartments or condo-hotel with a public fitness chain, an HEB grocery, and public cafés around a pocket park would put the Galleria right back on the map long before a walkable central park lawn comes to Dallas International District. But... I would ultimately be well pleased...

Yea. Claire’s is not a horrible brand and caters to an age group that’s prominent in the mall. I think that wing of the mall is a good place to move brands like Cotton On, Vans, etc. I feel like Cotton On and Vans have broader appeal, like Vans shoes were trendy amongst all age groups a couple year...

So what I want to know is, what happened to the talks of finishing the movie theatre? Have they given up on it or are they still looking for an operator for it?

I didn't realize until today how almost "outdated" the American Girl store is. It used to be bright red, but now it's a really dim maroon from all the sun exposure. I one time went to that store in 2011/2012, and it looked immaculate, but it definitely hasn't been kept up in the past few ...

If they are going to bring more low end tenants to the mall I’d hope they’d bring Hollister back, considering it’s one of the few stores I go to the Galleria for.

Local residents I know 100% support this change. Either this, or the mall will die. Half of it needs to go. I visit Willow Bend quite often as we're super involved with North Texas Performing Arts. Everyone should go! https://ntpa.org/ We have every opportunity to shop there a lot, but don't. The p...

This could be the rumored Claire's. And I seriously hope not. That stuff needs to be kept to Park Lane. NorthPark would be seriously going downhill if they sign leases with brands that sell their stuff at Walmart. I was hoping that rumor was just Macy's adding Claires stuff to their store. Macy's a...

It looks like something may be going into one of the spaces across from Journey's.

The Webster is coming to Austin at The Domain. I wonder if they'll ever come to Dallas, maybe at NorthPark or at Highland Park Village (Anthropologie space once Chanel moves back into its old location?)

I don't think the outdoor component is necessary. The one implemented at Willow Bend was always odd and forgotten. The thing about that outdoor section is that it connects to just nothing . I remember this even in the 90s when malls were thriving with basically no vacancies: some malls just have wa...

The concrete floors need to be re-done and the lighting updated as well as the fountain by Dillard's. The area from MCM to Eiseman had lighting updated and it made a big difference.

Collin Counry also doesn't have Apple (we know the politics behind this) and American Girl, which is why the Galleria losing American Girl is going to be another huge blow.

Was at Northpark today and let me say- if there is a recession or downturn, it's not happening at NP. If they don't build out the second floor on the "old" half of the mall, I hope at least they renovate the skylights. The NM/Dillard's wings feel so dated and aged compared to the Nordstro...

Your comment goes to the point that "location, location, location" may be the three biggest tailwinds in real estate but not the only decisive ones... However AFAIK the five closest malls to Northpark are Galleria Dallas, Town East, Irving Mall, Grapevine Mills, and Vista Ridge in Lewisvi...

I still am curious about what's happening with all the empty spaces in the Macy's wing on the second floor. I could see the ones across from Miniluxe being combined into one larger space for a larger store, and the ones between Doc Popcorn and Dr. Martens being combined as well.

Proquest20

NorthPark needs to finish the second floor so that we can accommodate more luxury retail, convert the Macy's store into a Bloomingdale's store, build a luxury hotel in the North or South lot... some office would be nice as well

It would be a good spot for them, being near Dillard's, Tag Heuer, and Breitling, but it definitely looks temporary.

There's also the fact that: 1. Financing/interest rates have gotten much tighter since the plan was announced. 2. The current management team has no prior experience managing a mall the scale of the Galleria (I still think they're in over their heads). 3. The demand for more office & hotel spac...

When are they going to go forward with their make over of the Galleria and tear down the Southern wing of the mall to be replaced by a new hotel, office tower, and residential tower?

The Galleria store already has a better looking storefront than the NorthPark one and I fear this remodel is going to continue that trend.
