The latest mixed-use TOD project in Dallas. Park Lane Place. This sits at a crossroads between Preston Hollow and the Park Cities to the west, and the poor Vickery Meadows to the East. The entire area has been rezoned for dense housing and high rises, so you should see more around this. This is about 5 miles north of downtown at DART's Park Lane station. Across Central Expressway is North Park Mall(Dallas' most upscale) which is now going through a major renovation that will double its size. Park Lane Place is like an LA style lifestyle center on steroids. Like a larger version of Mockingbird Station. The garages are already u/c. You can see the glass office buildings with the red roofs. They already exist and are being renovated currently. This project has been known and the cranes there for a while.

I'm sure this doesn't impress those in much more dense cities or even inner city Dallas neighborhoods, but its pretty cool for being surrounded by office park towers, normal big box and a large shopping mall. Its not a Victory, West Village or even Bryan Place, but it is TOD and is a great start for such a suburban part of Dallas.
