northpark: "On My Own Time" Art Exhibit at NorthPark - 10/01/08 09:44 PM
About this time last year I wrote a piece about the annual art hanging at NorthPark of the North Texas Business for Culture and the Arts.  In the main, I thought the exhibit was a bit on the mediocre side.
Today, I saw the 2008 art gathering that is titled "On … (0 comments)

northpark: Malls: How They Handle Stores Going Out Of Business - 07/29/08 06:09 AM
There are a number of common sense provisions that retail landlords should have in their leases.  And interestingly they protect not only the landlord, but the sanctity of the center.

northpark: Reviving Shopping Centers, Rule 4 - 05/31/08 03:03 PM
Leasing agents and landlords alike frequently lust over the idea of having a cinema as a high-presence tenant in their center.  After all, cinemas bring lots of people, and its therefore reasoned that those people will shop the stores before and after the movie.
But what is frequently not addressed by … (5 comments)

northpark: Reviving Shopping Centers - Rule 4 - 05/14/08 10:44 PM
So I suppose this is logical:  Because major big-box tenants attract a lot of shopping traffic, landlords usually give them cheap rents and big build-out allowances. 
And small tenants have their rent rates burdened by their prorata part of those discounts.  After all, without the big box traffic and marketing, most … (2 comments)

northpark: De Beers - A Home Run or An Out? - 04/29/08 11:09 PM
You probably know about De Beers.  It's the privately held company that Cecil Rhodes founded in the late 1800s that virtually controls the exploration and mining of diamonds.  And by controlling their mining activity, they significantly influence the value of diamonds, including the one your son gave his bride-to-be for her … (2 comments)

northpark: Barneys New York - Dallas North Park Store Has Just Become Dynamic - 04/16/08 06:44 AM
When I was a child, Barneys New York was a very exclusive men's store, and by reputation, it was where the finest dressers bought everything, even their socks.  As the store found itself challenged by competition, it did what it should have done: it added courtier clothing for women, and it … (32 comments)

Recently Tiffany revealed their totally remodeled and refixtured store in the NorthPark Shopping Center here in Dallas.

Dallas' famous NorthPark shopping center is the largest indoor mall in Texas and it's no less than the fifth largest in the United States.
