Red Bird Mall opens as southern Dallas's only enclosed mall
Dallas, Texas
![]()
Red Bird Mall opened in September 1975 as the first shopping centre of its kind for Oak Cliff and the suburbs below it, and it is still the only enclosed mall in southern Dallas. Changing demographics and a reputation for crime emptied it through the 1990s, a rebranding as Southwest Center Mall did not take, and it went through bankruptcy in 2008 while residents and city leaders fought to keep the lights on. A Dallas investor bought it in 2015 and is rebuilding it as a mixed use district under the RedBird name.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
