Dev Test County • October 9, 2025
Good morning, Dev Test County. When Ross Perot Jr. advises investors to "Long Texas," he's not just talking—he's building the evidence. The visionary developer behind AllianceTexas has transformed 27,000 acres into an economic engine generating $130 billion and 66,000 jobs, while simultaneously attracting cutting-edge projects like Texas' largest film studio and what experts are calling a "modern-day Manhattan Project" in rare earth magnets.
Dallas' star power extends beyond business this week, with "Real Housewives" alum Adrienne Maloof spotted celebrating "family week" atop Reunion Tower's Crown Block restaurant. Meanwhile, retail therapy reaches new heights as ten fresh shopping destinations arrive—from nostalgic Toys "R" Us at Grapevine Mills to luxury alpine wear at Moncler's NorthPark location. For those preferring to shop from home, certain neighborhoods can now even receive their purchases via Walmart drone delivery.

🏗️ Ross Perot Jr. is transforming Dallas into a global powerhouse. The founder of Hillwood has developed landmark projects like AllianceTexas, a 27,000-acre development generating $130 billion in economic impact and creating 66,000 jobs. Recent wins include securing MP Materials' rare earth magnet plant—described as a "modern-day Manhattan Project"—and attracting Texas' largest film studio. Beyond his business achievements, Perot emphasizes collaboration and integrity, empowering his team while maintaining financial oversight. His advice to investors? "Long Texas"—particularly Dallas-Fort Worth, which he considers uniquely positioned for continued growth.
👑 Reality star Adrienne Maloof spotted celebrating at Dallas's Reunion Tower. The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast member visited Crown Block, the upscale restaurant atop the iconic Dallas landmark, during SMU's family weekend. Maloof shared on Instagram that she was in town "celebrating my boys" during what she called "family week in Dallas." The restaurant, which opened in 2023 and features 360-degree views of the city, is owned by Las Vegas restaurateurs Elizabeth Blau and Kim Canteenwalla. Though Maloof documented her visit to Crown Block, she hasn't shared other stops from her Dallas vacation.
🛍️ Dallas shopping scene explodes with ten new retail destinations. From nostalgic toy stores to luxury fashion boutiques, October brings diverse shopping experiences across the city. The lineup includes two vintage clothing shops (Add Vintage and Hideaway Vintage), home furnishing showrooms in the Design District (KD Biel and Snaidero), and the return of Toys "R" Us at Grapevine Mills. Fashion enthusiasts can explore Moncler's alpine wear at NorthPark Center and Stivali New York's slow-fashion footwear, while certain Dallas neighborhoods now even qualify for Walmart drone delivery service.
