2019 (mall)
The mall was not fully demolished in 2019. City of Dallas releases say demolition of the remaining portions began in March 2023 and final demolition/clearing was completed in May 2023.
Full reasoning
This infobox entry is misleading because it gives 2019 as the mall’s demolition year, but the City of Dallas states that substantial parts of the mall were still standing in 2023.
Evidence:
- In a March 16, 2023 City of Dallas news release titled “Final demolition begins of remaining portions of Valley View Mall in North Dallas,” the city said the property owner had begun demolition of the remaining portions of Valley View Mall that day.
- In a second City of Dallas release dated May 23, 2023, titled “Valley View Mall Demolished; Dallas International District Rises In Its Place,” Councilmember Jaynie Schultz said “The final demolition and clearing of the Valley View site” had occurred.
So while parts of the complex were demolished earlier, the mall itself was not fully demolished in 2019. Presenting the demolition date simply as 2019 (mall) is inaccurate because the final mall demolition happened in 2023.

DALLAS - Today, March 16, 2023, the property owner began demolition at the former Valley View Mall site... "With today's demolition of the remaining structure of Valley View Mall, we turn the page on this long dormant property".

"The final demolition and clearing of the Valley View site is an important step..." Schultz said.
Construction of Dallas Midtown is currently slated for 2024.
This is outdated/incorrect. Reporting from November 2025 and April 2026 shows the first Dallas Midtown project only began construction in late 2025/early 2026, not in 2024.
Full reasoning
The statement says Dallas Midtown was "currently slated for 2024," but later reporting shows that timeline did not happen.
Evidence:
- NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth reported on November 21, 2025 that “Construction has begun on a 6-story building at the former Valley View Mall site,” describing it as “the first major step in the long-awaited Dallas Midtown project.”
- FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth likewise reported on November 21, 2025 that a groundbreaking ceremony had just been held for the first project at the former Valley View Mall site.
- The Dallas Express reported on April 4, 2026 that “The long-awaited redevelopment of Dallas Midtown has officially begun, with construction underway at the former Valley View Center site.”
Those reports make clear that Dallas Midtown construction was not underway in 2024 and instead began in late 2025 / early 2026. So the sentence is outdated and factually wrong as written.
