Fox 4 reports, “a former SMU football player has turned developer and is beginning to make strides in creating new parts of Oak Cliff in southern Dallas County.

“Mikail Onu sees opportunities where others have seen obstacles. When an injury ended his football career, he turned to another venture. Now, he hopes to level the field to create better neighborhoods in neglected communities in Dallas.

“Onu hopes to transform 12 tree-lined acres just north of Bonnie View Road and I-20 in Southeast Oak Cliff into a new housing development.”
