Lego definitely needs to move to the second floor now that the area around Macy's has become higher end on the first floor. If they want the upstairs Macy's section to be family stores then Lego should be there. I could see them moving to Park Lane to be closer to American Girl - would be nice for t...

Steve Madden is moving upstairs into the old Nicole Kwon spot. Will we see Lego, Aveda, Peloton or even James Avery move as well? Those don’t seem to fit in with the transformation of this section of the mall to trendy clothing brands. I like Pelaton there being close to Nike and Vuori. What I need...

Still drives me crazy that so many of the restaurant spaces are still vacant. At this point throw a Mi Cocina into one of them, I don't care. They need a good Tex Mex spot! No yeah, it really hit me, how do we have three Italian places in this mall but the only Tex Mex place is Chipotle? I would ho...

This was new to me, even though I've lived in DFW for 20 years. Per reddit, the Galleria used to have a walking track on the roof of the mall, surrounding the glass roof. You can still see remnants of it in Google maps. There is also an indoor basketball half court up there on the roof, both of whi...

Golden Goose is moving to the old Michael Kors spot. Golden Goose associate confirmed to me business is booming and the new store will be super experiential with a cafe that faces Center Park and some sort of “build your own” or “repair your own” sneaker concept. Interestingly, it reminded me of th...

They better open up actual HEB stores in like, Mesquite, Garland, Arlington, etc. in that case.

At least in my experience it’s been more expensive, maybe it’s just not meant for me so the options I’m looking for in particular are more specialised, and so they’re a little more limited. My Prime subscription is probably a contributing factor also. But in my experience the locations I’ve been to ...

Why don’t some of NorthPark’s luxury brands build two story stores? With Louis Vuitton and Gucci having large exteriors on the CenterPark side these locations definitely could have two floors. Maybe Dallas isn’t the right place for that though. Would be nice if the ones facing the exterior side woul...

Could The Webster be a new tenant coming soon? They just announced a store in Atlanta, and there's already one in Houston.

DFW made the cut, but weirdly Houston didn’t and St. Louis is higher than Dallas and NYC is really low.

We've known that. Funny they talk about NorthPark as their first location when Willow Bend used to have one pre-covid. Nice to have them back in Plano. Was Willow Bend the first location though? They had it before Aritzia began to expand rapidly. It coexisted with the NorthPark location for a littl...

Looks like Houston’s Galleria is turning the second floor above the ice rink into more luxury stores, it’s quite vacant but there’s Amiri and Dolce Gabbana there now. Hopefully NorthPark will follow suit and expand.

Yeah houston is only 5,000 square foot. The dallas one is 6500 square foot. Houston is no match.

Wonder if they plan on expanding the Galleria store. Gucci started on that once they expanded the NorthPark store.

I guess the Alley is now called the “newly designed outdoor plaza” according to Instagram updates. The Alley probably came from the restaurant that was once there.

I hope Macy's decides to blur the lines between their stores and Bloomingdales. Could you imagine if Macy's began carrying even nicer (maybe even designer) brands at their top locations, similar to what Nordstrom's already doing? What would really make me mad is if NorthPark added that Backstage stu...

The West Village has had one for a long time also. Even Willow Bend is adding hotels to the property of all places. Point is, NorthPark gotta start making changes, like, yesterday. Hopefully this loan will help with that.

Proquest20

Putting a hotel on the lot along Boedecker street makes so much sense to me that I don't understand why they haven't yet. What other hotel would be able to say they have an Eataly outside its lobby? It's such an easy sell. Then to the west you'd have an overlook of the cemetary. Not being morbid or...

Exactly why the restaurants need to have direct connections to the mall with menus to draw people in, etc Would provide synergy to the mall too. Not sure why this hasn’t been thought of in the 20 years that the Alley has been there. Do they really expect shoppers to walk outside to the front door o...

Many years ago they talked about a hotel addition, might have even been an Omni but it never made it beyond speculation and I don't think there was even a rendering of a proposed hotel tower.

They're building green space in front of it, but if I'm being honest the way that the Galleria is built with garages that directly connect to the buildings, this probably won't be used that much.

Finally went out there for the first time today, and I do understand the isolated feeling. It's not like it's on a major road, so it's easy to miss in comparison to places like The Domain or Legacy West. That said, it was pretty busy when I went there, and I bet the stores there do pretty well. I th...

Saks isn't coming back to Dallas. They've made their intentions pretty clear, those being a hostile takeover of Neimans. Definitely not Dallas. They have locations in Tulsa and San Antonio of all places, so if they open anywhere in the metro it would probably be Fort Worth (although they left Hurst...

I never see Saks going into Central Dallas, but could see it in the burbs like Southlake Town Center or Frisco.

Why would you want second locations when there could be new stores? Also, HP management once said they won't put a store at the Village if it already exists at Northpark or near by.

I can 100% confirm Northpark Tory Burch does more than Highland PV Tory Burch. by a significant amount. HPV was one of the first TB locations when the brand was launched and I guess the current HPV owners like that. Tory would do very well at the Galleria. It’s mid-range but is very trendy right now.
