Vickery Meadow, Dallas
Vickery Meadow, Dallas

Vickery Meadow is an ethnically-diverse neighborhood consisting almost exclusively of apartment complexes in Northeast Dallas, Texas, United States. The Vickery Midtown Public Improvement District states the neighborhood is bounded by Northwest Highway, Royal Lane, Central Expressway, and Abrams. The City of Dallas Office of Economic Development states that the boundaries of the Vickery Meadow Tax Increment Financing district, which was established in 2005, are “the east side of the intersection of US 75 (Central Expressway) and Park Lane and extends eastward along Park Lane to the ‘Five Points’ intersection at Park Lane, Fair Oaks Avenue and Ridgecrest Road.” Leslie Minora of the Dallas Observer described it as "a dense swath of about 100 apartment complexes cradled by NorthPark Center and Whole Foods to the west and Half Price books [sic] to the south. It's an overlooked anthill, population 25,000, packed with people here by circumstance."The area is one of the most densely populated areas of Dallas and is home to many immigrants and refugees. The area was originally developed to provide housing for childless, upper-income people in the mid-1970s. The area was built out in the early 1980s. With the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968, the demographics shifted to a mostly low income, immigrant population from Latin America and other countries around the world. During that time, area public schools began to become overcrowded. The school district responded by opening new schools in the area, including one high school, one middle school, and several elementary schools; some apartment complexes were razed to make room for new schools. The Vickery Midtown Improvement District (VMID), a coalition of fifty area organizations, serves the Vickery Meadow area. In 2014 the Dallas City Council member representing Vickery Meadow, Jennifer Staubach Gates, referred to it as "kind of the melting pot of America".

The Shops at Park Lane

The Shops at Park Lane is an upscale shopping center in Dallas, Texas, United States, just across from NorthPark Center. It is the shopping part of the Park Lane Development located at 8080 Park Lane, which includes The Heights, an apartment complex, and a set of office buildings. This mixed-use development was designed by TBG Partners, a landscape architecture firm in Austin, Texas, and developed by developer Harvest Partners of Dallas.The Shops at Park Lane opened in 2009 as Park Lane with anchor stores including Dick's Sporting Goods and the third Nordstrom Rack in the state. Whole Foods Market also opened a flagship store at Park Lane. Saks Fifth Avenue opened an Off Fifth outlet store soon afterward. Also part of the center are residences and 350,000 square feet of office space. Other early tenants included Lane Bryant and The Children's Place. Overall, the retail center includes 750,000 square feet of retail space.In 2010, the center was renamed from Park Lane as it added Old Navy and Ulta. Later that year, Northwood Investors of New York City acquired the property, though the original developers retained a financial stake and continue to operate the project.In 2014, it was announced that the center added a pilates studio, Studio 6 Fitness and will add Bar Louie and Zyn22 Spin Studio before the end of the year. The announcement also shared additions for 2015, including a 2,500 square foot flagship Starbucks as well as Zoe's Kitchen, a boutique pet store called Unleashed by Petco and a men's big and tall clothing store called DXL. Finally, the Shops at Park Lane was completed in 2015.
