Dallas is undergoing one of its most ambitious transformations in decades — the redevelopment of the long-defunct Valley View Center into what will soon become Dallas Midtown, a vibrant mixed-use district designed to bring together residential living, business, culture, entertainment, and green space in one walkable community.

Below, you’ll find a detailed look at the vision for Midtown, complete with high-resolution artist renderings that show how this once-blighted area will evolve into a thriving urban hub.

What Is Dallas Midtown?

Dallas Midtown is a 400+ acre redevelopment area located in North Dallas, bordered roughly by LBJ Freeway (I-635), the Dallas North Tollway, Preston Road, and Spring Valley Road. Its centerpiece is the former Valley View Mall — now demolished — opening the door for a completely reimagined district.

The concept behind Midtown is to build a modern, walkable, amenity-rich neighborhood that blends:

• Residential living

• Office and commercial space

• Retail and dining

• Hotel accommodations

• Parks and green spaces

• Cultural and entertainment venues

These images show the revised vision for Midtown after years of planning and negotiations: a dense but livable district with mid-rise buildings, pocket parks, tree-lined walkways, and a clean, modern architectural style.

Why Dallas Midtown Will Be a Premier Place to Live, Work & Play

1. A Walkable Urban Neighborhood in North Dallas

Midtown brings something rare to North Dallas — walkability.
Instead of driving everywhere, residents and visitors will be able to step outside and arrive at restaurants, cafés, parks, fitness studios, and retail shops within minutes.

2. Living Options for Every Lifestyle

Plans include:

• Luxury apartments

• Condominiums

• Mixed-income housing

• Senior-living options

One of the first major developments, Premier at Dallas Midtown, sets the tone with upscale living combined with ground-floor retail and community-oriented design.

3. A True “Work Where You Live” District

Midtown is planned to feature multiple office buildings — ideal for startups, professionals, medical practitioners, and major employers who want visibility and convenience near LBJ and the Tollway.

Street-level retail and mixed-use spaces will support a 24/7 environment that stays active beyond traditional office hours.

Amenities That Will Define the Midtown Experience

A 20-Acre Signature Urban Park

One of the most anticipated features is the planned Midtown central park, designed for:

• Family picnics

• Outdoor festivals

• Walking and jogging trails

• Food trucks

• Weekend markets

This expansive greenspace will act as the beating heart of the district.

World-Class Dining, Shopping & Entertainment

Midtown will offer an extensive collection of:

• Chef-driven restaurants

• Cafés and breweries

• Boutique retail

• Entertainment venues

• Wellness and spa services

With proximity to the Galleria Dallas, the area will benefit from new connectivity and potentially a future transit link or people-mover, connecting Midtown to the surrounding corridor.

Cultural & International Influences

The development is adjacent to the emerging Dallas International District, which aims to bring global arts, festivals, cultural programming, and international business opportunities into the area.

Location Advantages

Midtown sits at the crossroads of North Dallas’ most important corridors:

• LBJ Freeway (I-635)

• Dallas North Tollway

• Preston Road

• Spring Valley Road

This gives residents unmatched access to all parts of Dallas-Fort Worth — whether commuting for work, enjoying nightlife, or taking clients to meetings.

What’s Next for Dallas Midtown?

While construction is ongoing and phased out over the next several years, momentum is building. As additional parcels sell, infrastructure is completed, and more buildings break ground, Midtown is set to become one of Dallas’ most talked-about new neighborhoods.

Early adopters — renters, buyers, and investors — may benefit as the area continues to grow in value, density, and desirability.

Final Thoughts

Dallas Midtown represents a once-in-a-generation redevelopment opportunity. What was once an aging mall is rapidly evolving into a dynamic district where residents can live, work, and play without ever leaving the neighborhood.

With its upcoming amenities, central park, modern architecture, and world-class walkability, Midtown is positioned to become a major North Dallas destination.
