Southlake Town Square: The Ultimate Retail Investment Destination

A Vision Realized

When Southlake Town Square opened in 1999, it pioneered the "lifestyle center" concept that would reshape American retail development. Designed by Cooper & Company as a traditional American town center, this 130-acre mixed-use development has become the heart of Southlake - and a model studied by developers worldwide.
