Victory Park, Dallas, Texas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Victory Park is a master planned development northwest of downtown Dallas, Texas (USA) and North of Woodall Rodgers Freeway. It is along Interstate 35E and thus part of the Stemmons Corridor, but is commonly considered part of Uptown.
The project is a US$3 Billion, 75 acre urban district adjacent to the West End Historic District of downtown Dallas. At full build-out, the project will contain more than 4,000 residences and 4 Million square feet of office and retail space.

[edit] About
The project includes the American Airlines Center and the new 33-story W Dallas Victory Hotel and Residences. Other structures are planned such as the 45-story One Victory Tower, high-rise apartments, condominium towers, as well as retail and green spaces. The centerpiece of Victory Park's retail space is LFT, a new 30,000 concept store that is the brainchild of Ort Varona and Glenn Singer, the retail masterminds behind Dallas' Octane and Premium93. LFT, a contemporary "boutique department store" will showcase designer fashion by the likes of Ted Baker, Chip & Pepper, J. Lindeberg, and Bono's Edun. Part of the development will include an area (Victory Plaza) reminiscent of Times Square in New York City. This area will contain the largest and greatest number of digital billboards overlooking a plaza anywhere in the world and the plaza will contain studios for WFAA, a local broadcast station.
