Once new and improved plans were made for Victory in 2003, the next step was to demolish the power station, and extend DART light rail to the arena and Victory.

Now the station is open and makes a great stop for gamedays, concerts and tours of the arena, as well as serving future residents and workers of Victory Park. It also serves as a stop for the TRE from Fort Worth and other points west.

Article about how Victroy Park may help turn Dallas into a leisure destination. The W-Hotel last month and this weekend, the Ghostbar opened in the buildings upper floors. The high-end spa Bliss also opened last month. Other recently opened restaurant and clubs the have opened recently include N9NE Steakhouse, Nove Italiano, and Liquid Sky nightclub.

Woods said his company has targeted retailers that are found only in places like New York, Los Angeles or Europe, like G Star, J. Lindeberg and Adriano Goldschmied. Restaurants will include the N9NE Group's locations and world-class eateries like Tom Colicchio's Craft and local restaurateur Lisa Galvan-Cuevas' Luna de Noche.

"It's not going to be like a mall," Woods said. "Before 9-11 happened, we were going after recognizable mall-type retail chains. But after the economic bust, we had to rethink our plans. We reshaped the whole project, included more residential and retail mix into the equation and decided we needed unique but famous retailers that you can't find around here."

The House will go vertical in 60 to 90 days during the same time that crews will be pushing up on Victory Tower, a $325-milion Mandarin Oriental hotel and residences. By June 2007, Victory Park's vertical work will be in various stages for $640 million of mixed-use space. The $125-million One Victory Park got its go-ahead when Hillwood's team nailed a lead tenant, Haynes and Boone LLP, for up to 175,000 sf on six floors of the 20-story, 456,000-sf structure. The first of two office buildings will break ground in the first quarter in a 75-acre district anchored by American Airlines Center and including a W Hotel and the Craft bar and restaurant.

The next construction wave will bring four of Victory's 30 buildings on line. "This will finish the second and third phases," Jonas Woods, president of Hillwood Capital, tells GlobeSt.com. "Soon, we'll be announcing our concept for the fourth phase."

Hillwood, the developer of Victory Park, is not happy that American Airlines Center wants to put up a large video board on the southside of the arena facing Victory Plaza. Hillwood feels that it would conflict with the eleven video boards that they have put up in Victory Plaza, eight of which can move horizontally on elevated tracks.

^ The American Airlines Center and Hillwood have reached an agreement where the AAC will be able to install their video board and will be able to control the advertisements during certain times. The video board will not be up boefore the NHL All-Star Game though.

Dallas will be hosting the NHL All-Star Game on Wednesday night, and while it will not have a large economic impact, it will be a great opportunity to show off Victory Park.

The centerpiece of the city's marketing efforts during the NHL festivities is fast-growing Victory Park. Workers have scrambled to get retail and restaurants ready

The accounting firm Ernst & Young is expected to also sign a lease 145,000 sf on five floors of One Victory Park. This commitment will leave most of the space in the building under construction reserved, only 65,000 sf is still available.

One Victory Park also was designed as part of a two-building development. Given the velocity with which they leased up the first tower, Hillwood and Hines are working on designs for the second phase.

"We anticipate working to pre-lease that, and already have quite a bit of interest," says Bill Brokaw, vice president of Hillwood Capital.
