It sure does look like the Mavs are gonna build at Valley View. <\/a><\/p>\n

Despite 9 out of 15 City Council members and a preponderance of city leadership ready to tear down City Hall<\/a> and move, we can now say that it\u2019s kind of unlikely that they\u2019d be doing so for the Dallas Mavericks. We\u2019re saying this again<\/a>. Still<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This morning, the Mavericks told the Dallas Morning News that they\u2019ve filed for a zoning change on 104 acres of the former Valley View Mall. \u201cWe are excited to announce the next step toward a new home in Dallas. Today, we have formally begun the zoning change process to pursue a new Dallas Mavericks arena and entertainment district at the former Valley View Mall site,\u201d the team said in a statement<\/a> to the News. \u201cWe look forward to working closely with the community as the process moves forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team entered an option agreement<\/a> to purchase the land in June. With the zoning request, the Mavericks want to amend a planned development already in existence and create a subdistrict that would allow a sports and entertainment district. In June, we were able to deduce from the deal the team struck with one of the three owners of the Valley View land that the Mavericks are making nonrefundable option payments, and the current closing date is January 31, 2028 or 90 days after the entitlement period expires. An entitlement period is usually a time frame during a real estate purchase where the buyer has time to get any government approvals or zoning changes completed, which is where we are now.<\/p>\n

You can read more about the purchase from our June story here<\/a>, and keep up with updates about the Mavericks (and their future home) here<\/a>. Also, for the record: we tried to tell you Valley View was more likely than people thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It sure does look like the Mavs are gonna build at Valley View.
