marketing the 110 acres for sale <\/a>earlier this year with two other property owners, Seritage Growth Properties and fitness brand Life Time, at an undisclosed price. That was after the owners completed the $10 million sanitary sewer installation on their own, Beck said.<\/p>\nThe city\u2019s 2013 rezoning of the 450-acre International District into a planned development allows for a variety of uses, effectively creating potential for \u201ca satellite downtown\u201d in North Dallas, Beck said.<\/p>\n

Nick Starling, a city spokesperson, could not confirm whether the planned development district could accommodate a stadium because it is a form based code, which regulates physical structures unlike dividing land uses into zones.<\/p>\n
But even if it does require a zoning change, Triolet, of Partners real estate, doesn\u2019t see that as a stumbling block. <\/p>\n
One of the site\u2019s strengths is its location and population density in between the central business district and the suburbs, Triolet said <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s one of the busiest areas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Valley View is close to the Dallas North Tollway, of one of the main north-south arteries, and sits next to I-635, making accessibility a nonissue. There is also a long-discussed plan for an autonomous transportation system, also called a \u201cpeople mover,\u201d to connect the Galleria and Valley View, building on the dream for a walkable district that doesn\u2019t depend on cars.<\/p>\n
The old mall has 20,000 parking spaces, Beck said, but any new development would likely have its own structured parking.<\/p>\n
Even though the original Dallas Midtown project failed to materialize, Beck said the vision for a vibrant blend of entertainment and midtown-living remains the same \u2013 what he calls an \u201ceatertainment district.\u201d<\/p>\n
The site is built to have a grid with long pedestrian streets with restaurants, retail, apartments and offices on top. But the options of what could go inside are endless, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCould you then take a part of that and say \u2018that\u2019s going to be a stadium?\u2019 Absolutely,\u201d Beck said. \u201cCould you say that\u2019s going to be the new AT&T corporate campus? Absolutely. Could it be some other corporate campus? Absolutely.\u201d <\/p>\n

Beck said his development group will be announcing a mixed use development on a portion of the site in about a month, but it doesn\u2019t preclude another large user from landing there as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s upsetting that it\u2019s taken this long to get started, but it will be a world class development,\u201d Beck said. \u201cIt\u2019s an important area to the city, it\u2019s an important area to our family and to our company.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although none of the parties would confirm if the site is on the table for the Mavericks, there is a history. Before Mark Cuban sold his majority stake in the team in 2023,<\/a> someone wanted him to take a look at Valley View.<\/p>\nIt didn\u2019t go very far. <\/p>\n
\u201cA broker approached me,\u201d Cuban confirmed in an email to The Dallas Morning News. \u201cI asked what the price of VV would be. He told me the market price. I said no thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
