"In the top 20 largest malls in the country, NorthPark Center is also praised as one of the top premium shopping destinations in the Southwest. This was already the world’s largest climate-controlled building when it opened in 1965. But it more than doubled in size in the mid-2000s after an expansion that also gave rise to the CenterPark, a tapestry of lawns and mature trees on crushed granite paths."

"NorthPark Center is one of the most well-known shopping destinations in Dallas, located very close to downtown Texas. It has all the major stores like Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s, and Neiman Marcus. It also has a gallery where you can find some of the best architectural and landscaping pieces of the 20th and 21st century."
