The project includes the American Airlines Center and the new 33-story W Dallas Victory Hotel and Residences. Other structures are planned such as the 43-story One Victory Tower, high-rise apartments, condominium towers, as well as retail and green spaces. The centerpiece of Victory Park's retail space is LFT, a new 30,000 concept store from Ort Varona and Glenn Singer, the people behind Dallas' Octane and Premium93. LFT, a contemporary "boutique department store" will showcase designer fashion by the likes of Paul Smith, Z Zegna, James Perse, Chip & Pepper, J. Lindeberg, and Diane von Furstenberg.
