Victory Park, Mixed-use development in Dallas, United States
Victory Park is a contemporary residential neighborhood northwest of downtown Dallas featuring modern high-rise apartments, retail spaces, and entertainment venues designed as a planned development. The area spans across a large site and combines housing with commercial and public spaces.
Victory Park was developed by Ross Perot Jr., son of billionaire Ross Perot and then majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, as a US$3 billion, 75-acre master-planned project. The American Airlines Center, which opened in July 2001, was its first tenant and anchor. The plan calls for more than 4,000 residences and 4,000,000 square feet of office and retail space.
Victory Park takes its name from the development's own branding rather than from a battle or monument. Its first tenant, the American Airlines Center, opened in July 2001 and hosts the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars, so game nights bring crowds to the plaza. The Perot Museum of Nature and Science, designed by Thom Mayne, anchors the district's cultural side.
Victory Park sits northwest of downtown Dallas, north of Spur 366 (Woodall Rodgers Freeway) and along Interstate 35E in the Stemmons Corridor and Uptown. Victory Station serves both DART light rail (Green and Orange lines) and the Trinity Railway Express commuter rail. The 75-acre site is bounded by freeways, so walking routes between the district and the adjacent West End Historic District cross them.
Victory Park was developed by Ross Perot Jr., son of billionaire Ross Perot and then majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks. The 75-acre project was planned at a very detailed level, with the American Airlines Center as its anchor. The development has drawn criticism as a collection of hyper-modern structures isolated by freeways, while other journalists defend it as part of a centuries-old urban formula.
