DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks have entered into options agreements for the potential purchase of 104 acres at the site of the former Valley View Mall on the city’s north side that could become the future home of a new basketball arena and entertainment complex, according to a statement issued by the team on June 1. The team stated that the Valley View site, which has been targeted for years for potential redevelopment by various companies, satisfied “most of the criteria established at the outset of our evaluation process.” According to The Dallas Morning News, the Mavericks’ lease at their current arena, American Airlines Center, expires in July 2031, and the team has set a self-imposed deadline of July 1 of this year to complete the site selection process for a new venue. The paper also reported that the Mavericks want a footprint of at least 50 acres for the new arena and surrounding entertainment district and as of January 2026, had essentially narrowed their decision down to the Valley View site or an unspecified location in downtown Dallas. The Mavericks have played at American Airlines Center since 2001.

By Rives Taylor, principal, global resilience research lead, Gensler Texas is experiencing rapid growth in data center development as part of a broader push to support artificial intelligence (AI) ventures that have transformed digital infrastructure into a magnet for capital. As noted in Gensler’s recent Design Forecast, these assets demand abundant land, power and connectivity, making the region a natural fit for long-term growth in digital and industrial real estate. However, these facilities also require reliable access to significant water resources to support cooling systems that are essential for maintaining uninterrupted operations. As development increases, so do the needs for resources, and Texas lacks a consistent policy requiring operators to report essential metrics such as water use, energy consumption or cooling loads. This lack of transparency limits the ability of policymakers, communities and design professionals to fully understand the environmental impact of one of the state’s fastest-growing industrial sectors. With rising pressure on water supplies and power systems, the need for clearer reporting standards and more forward‑looking design approaches is becoming increasingly urgent. A recent white paper by the Houston Area Research Center (HARC), found that “without modernized planning and policy updates, the state faces a collision between finite water …
