Northpark Center
Shopping Center in Dallas, TX
In the early 1960s, developer Raymond D. Nasher leased a 97-acre cotton field on the edge of Dallas to build what was at that time the biggest climate-controlled retail founding in the world. He assembled a staff of accomplished architects and designers who laid out the shopping center on an axis like a town and designed it from the ground up to properly display huge works of art. When it opened in 1965 with its clean lines, care to detail and elegant finishes, NorthPark Center's international design and tenant mix forever changed the retail landscape in North Texas and the Southwest.
