“I wanted to get vaccinated so that I can see my friends and also so that I can protect my grandparents,” she said.

Construction on the Palladium RedBird apartments in southwest Dallas is still months away from completion, but most of the rental units are already spoken for.
The 300-apartment project is the first phase of the $200 million redevelopment of old mall formerly called Red Bird and then Southwest Center, at Interstate 20 and U.S. Highway 67.
