A new transportation development is coming to Dallas from Hillwood Urban and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART).
Victory Station Plaza is a one-acre public green space in the heart of Victory Park, across from the DART Victory Station, with direct connectivity to DART’s transit system.
The large plaza is located across from the American Airlines Center and adjacent to Victory Commons One, Hillwood Urban’s 365,000 square foot office building. Both the Plaza and Commons were completed on November 19.
“This was a terrific partnership with DART, where together, we were able to bring a great new public park into an urban environment that will enhance the quality of life for those who work, live, and travel throughout Victory Park and beyond,” said Ken Reese, executive vice president of Hillwood Urban. “The Park space was always part of DART’s plan for this land going back 20 years to when Hillwood originally built AAC. We are excited to help make this happen and enhance the neighborhood, not to mention provide great views from the office space overlooking the park.”
The plaza is about the size of a football field and was designed for use by the average DART commuter, area sports fan, and office worker.
DART’s Victory Station opened in 2001 and includes the DART Light Rail Green Line, Orange Line, Trinity Express, and DART Light Rail Red and Blue Lines. The station was developed with a focus on both art and function, which is why it includes unique elements by Pamela Nelson, a renowned local artist.
“The new Victory Station Plaza is a fantastic opportunity to provide much-needed green space to the area while ensuring our passengers have enhanced access to Victory Station,” said Nadine Lee, President and CEO of DART. “We continue to see the movement by both developers and communities to provide housing and activity centers near rail stations. Connectivity and access to public transit are increasingly important in our rapidly urbanizing Dallas-Fort Worth region.”
