Apparently, What Downtown Dallas Really Needs is an Urban Outfitters and a Gap

As it turns out, the city's looking to create a "Main Street District FOCUS Retail Initiative" that would lure retailers downtown using grants and forgivable loans worth $1,531,489, which would come out of the Downtown Connection Tax Increment Financing District. The city really wants to build up retail around the downtown Neiman Marcus location, to such an extent that two Neimans bigwigs -- president and CEO Karen Katz and VP and general manager Shelle Sills -- helped compile a "target list of 75 tenants" they'd like to see downtown. Among them, according to the list found on Pages 21 and 22 of the briefing document: Ralph Lauren, the Gap, Williams Sonoma, Container Store, Crate & Barrel, Urban Outfitters, Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang and H&M. Thirty-two on the list specialize in women's apparel; 11, in cosmetics; five, in "home goods"; zero, in groceries.
