あらすじ・解説
Wondering what's been happening with the torn-down Valley View Center? It’s been a year and a half since an early morning fire there at Preston and 635 accelerated the developer Scott Beck’s timeline for demolition. Host April Towery sat down with Beck, the CEO of Beck Ventures, for an update and a better understanding of the property's tumultuous development timeline.
Beck discusses the development of Dallas Midtown, formerly known as Valley View Mall, which aims to create a walkable mixed-use neighborhood with high-rise buildings and additional tax base for the city. Beck explains the challenges faced during the demolition of the mall, including asbestos issues and homeless encampments. He also addresses the issue of affordable housing in the district and the importance of starting with market-rate apartments to drive density and retain population within the city.
