context_page_description: NorthPark Center, sometimes referred to as NorthPark Mall, is an upscale, enclosed shopping mall in Dallas, Texas. The mall is at the intersection of Loop 12
  and US 75. Originally opened in 1965, the center now has over 235 stores and restaurants and annual sales of over $1 Billion. According to esri.com, Northpark Center is the 19th largest shopping mall in the country. Its anchors include Nordstrom, Macy's, Dillard's, Neiman Marcus, AMC Theatres, Eataly, Maggiano's, and Arhaus.
context_section_description: NorthPark Center was designed by Omniplan in the early 1960s. For its recent expansion, NorthPark's owners returned to the architectural firm responsible for the 1960s design.  The expansion turned NorthPark's original U-shape into a square design surrounding a 1.4-acre (5,700 m²) landscaped garden known as "CenterPark."  Featuring a series of lawns, 41-year-old live oaks and red oaks, seasonal flowers, crushed granite walkways, and a small collection of art, CenterPark doubles as a park area for visitors and customers.
  NorthPark Center received both the Texas Society of Architects' annual Design Award and the 25-year Design Award in 2007 for the original design.
  After a major expansion, at 2,350,000 square feet (218,000 m²), it is now the second-largest mall in Texas and the 21st-largest in the U.S. based on total square feet of retail space (gross leasable area) according to the International Council of Shopping Centers.
