Forest City Enterprises has put forth a proposal to bring a major mixed-use urban infill community to Dallas-Ft. Worth on the grounds of Texas Stadium.
With the NFL's Dallas Cowboys schedule to move to a new stadium in Arlington in 2009, plans are already in the works to redevelop Texas stadium into a model urban village. Cleveland-based developer Forest City Enterprises -- responsible for the redevelopment of Stapleton Airport in Denver, CO -- have been tapped by the City of Irving, TX to produce a development master plan.
"Plans for the 373-acre site include 4,900 residences, retail and entertainment space, a new civic center, hotel, cinema, two new DART rail stations and a freeway-spanning SkyPark above State Highway 114, according to a fact sheet on the development."
"Noted Irving Mayor Herbert Gears in a prepared statement, 'The visibility of this site is significant -- it is the third most-traveled intersection in Dallas-Fort Worth. Collectively, we have 380 acres available for intense urban development, and we are going to capitalize on that.' "
