In 2011, efforts to coordinate the redevelopment of the mall and the surrounding real estate were being coordinated by the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce. In April 2012, new owners of Valley View Center, Beck Ventures, announced a $4 billion redevelopment plan for the mall and surrounding property dubbed "Dallas Midtown" that would include retail, condominiums, and a "five star" hotel.

The City of Dallas established the Mall Area Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District in 2014.
