The release specifically references how when the Plaza opened in 1923, it was geared to accommodate shoppers arriving by car.
Earlier this week, Kate Marshall, president of the Plaza District Council, notified members of the council via a newsletter that they anticipated the new owners closing on the purchase Friday. Marshall said the council “had a good meeting” with representatives of the new owner and described them as “going to be tremendous partners with only the best intentions at heart for the Plaza.”
HP Village Associates LLC manages Highland Park Village in Dallas, a location that itself has roots dating back to 1931. Affiliates of the company also own and operate projects on Knox Street in Dallas, Phillips Place in Charlotte, The Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth, the Scottsdale Design District in Scottsdale, Arizona and other properties in Aspen, Colorado, and Watters Creek in Allen, Texas.
