Hillcrest Village

Dallas, TX

A lifeless shopping center in north Dallas has undergone a dramatic revitalization — from largely vacant and full of surface parking to pedestrian-oriented with a centerpiece park.

The redevelopment included a variety of upgrades, including the conversion of a surface parking lot into a 1.5-acre park as a focal point of the shopping center, along with landscape improvements, pedestrian promenades, new lighting, outdoor patios and building façade enhancements. The two promenades flank the park and include café seating, while restaurant courtyards provide comfortable and inviting spaces for outdoor dining. A food truck park with lawn and overhead string lights serves as a backyard-like space for enjoying wares from mobile vendors, and the overall effort will help to establish Hillcrest Village as an upscale neighborhood center for north Dallas.
