NorthPark Center, sometimes referred to as NorthPark Mall, is an upscale, enclosed shopping mall in Dallas, Texas (United States). It is at the intersection of Loop 12 (Northwest Highway) and US 75 (North Central Expressway). Opened in 1965, it now has over 235 stores and restaurants and annual sales of over $1 billion. It is at present, the 20th-largest shopping mall in the country. Its anchors include Nordstrom, Macy's (formerly Foley's), Dillard's, Neiman Marcus, AMC Theatres, and Eataly. History In the early 1960s, developer Raymond Nasher leased a cotton field on the edge of Dallas and hired E.G Hamilton of Harrell+Hamilton Architects. NorthPark Center opened in 1965, anchored by Neiman Marcus, Titche-Goettinger and Penneys, other stores included Woolworth's, Doubleday, Kroger, and more. The first major expansion happened in 1973 when a new wing opened anchored by Lord & Taylor. In early 2004 Lord & Taylor closed after being at the mall for nearly 30 years. For its first 34 years, NorthPark stood on land leased from the Caruth family's foundation. David and Nancy A. Nasher (Nancy is Raymond's daughter) purchased the property in 1999. In 2006, NorthPark opened to an expansion that more than doubled the size of the existing center, adding an 88,000 sq ft For its expansion, NorthPark brought back the same architecture firm that designed the original section to ensure its aesthetic was respected and enhanced. The expansion also included a new collection of specialty retail shops and a third-floor 15-screen AMC theater. The two-story expansion provided for circulation around the Center by forming a continuous loop through the complex. In November 2007, NorthPark Center was named one of the "seven retail wonders of the modern world" along with the Neiman Marcus’ store at Natick Collection in Massachusetts, Japan's Mikimoto store in Ginza, England's Bullring shopping center, Poland's Złote Tarasy in Warsaw, Apple's flagship store in New York City and Italy's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II . NorthPark is the home of Texas' first H&M, a fashion label from Sweden. H&M has since opened other locations in Texas. The American Film Institute's Dallas International Film Festival was sponsored by NorthPark Center in 2009. The event was held in the AMC NorthPark 15 Theater, which also hosted screenings during the festival's first two years. Barneys New York closed in April 2012 after facing fierce competition from other luxury retailers after it opened in 2006. The space is currently split
