Also has great connection to both airports with LBJ and the Tollway right there which is important for big companies.

Excuse me, but zombie movies are shot farther to the east in Garland.

Zombieland reference!!
In all seriousness, I'm excited at the prospect of having potentially THREE (Red Bird, Valley View, and Collin Creek) major former malls get juiced up with redevelopment simultaneously. Does anyone know if that is happening anywhere else?
Life Time Bulks Up With Village Concept It's Launching Nationwide
https://product.costar.com/home/news/shared/583714952
The once-delayed redevelopment of the site of Valley View Mall in North Dallas is proceeding with a joint venture between a Dallas developer and Life Time Inc., a Minneapolis-based company known for fitness clubs. In the process, it's pushing forward on a new nationwide development model.
A concept called Life Time Village at Dallas Midtown is in the works that will add an 18-story, 400-unit luxury residential tower on a site adjacent to the mall, which is currently being demolished, as well as a Life Time Athletic Club and other amenities as developers across the country lure residents with walkable projects.
Life Time has teamed up with Scott Beck of Beck Ventures, a Dallas-based real estate firm, which has been working on plans for years for the revival of Valley View Mall. The project was held up partly because of litigation, which has since been settled, and now the 46-year-old mall is back on track for demolition to make way for a new mixed-use development.
Once construction starts, Life Time Village at Dallas Midtown will be the company's largest such endeavor to date, building on Life Time's plans to extend its brand beyond the walls of being an athletic club. Life Time is also planning similar village-like concepts in Coral Gables, Florida, near Miami and Henderson, Nevada, near Las Vegas.

I don't recall the FAA allowing anything more than 450 to 500 AGL at that site. Perhaps I'm wrong. If I am then please nothing like that clap-trap modernistic bovine scatola. Instead, give us something of a neo-Art Deco tower like Williams tower by the late, great Paul Johnson. My two cents.

I don’t see anything wrong with being proud of your kid’s accomplishments. But if I were him, I’d stay as far away from that dumpster fire seeing that he is a councilman.

LBJ Freeway Project To Relieve Dallas Congestion Gets Fluor, Balfour Beatty As Leaders
May 31, 2019, by Kerri Panchuk, Dallas Bisnow
The Texas Department of Transportation is prepared to unleash a major roadway project on a portion of LBJ Freeway to increase capacity and relieve congestion.
The state agency awarded a reconstruction contract on 11 miles of Interstate 635 (LBJ Freeway) to a joint venture of Fluor and Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Inc.
The project comes at a time when the I-635 Corridor is back in the news — a portion of the highway will serve as an entry point to the Dallas Midtown and Park Heritage mixed-use projects, which will eventually infill a dated DFW neighborhood with luxury offices, apartments and retail.
As part of this infrastructure project, the JV will work on a stretch of I-635 running east of U.S. Highway 75 to I-30.

Updated: A earlier version of this story said the Toll Brothers apartments were part of the Park Heritage development at Valley View. They are being constructed on a site next door to that project but also on the mall property.
