Dallas’ RedBird redo at old mall site hits a home run with first-phase apartments

Construction on the Palladium RedBird apartments in southwest Dallas is still months away from completion, but most of the rental units are already spoken for.
The 300-apartment project is the first phase of the $200 million redevelopment of old mall formerly called Red Bird and then Southwest Center, at Interstate 20 and U.S. Highway 67.
Over the last few years, developers have knocked down much of the old shopping center and are replacing it with the RedBird mixed-use project, a development with retail, residential and office space.
