Best terminal location (proposed)
The Star / Stonebriar district at the Dallas North Tollway. The region's premier growth node, stacked with corporate relocations and event venues, with greenfield parcels still available. The tollway and SH-121 give the whole north-Dallas corridor direct access. Ridership here is as much business travel as commuting.
