The City of Richardson is collaborating with Alamo Drafthouse to revitalize and enhance its Heights Neighborhood location in Richardson’s CORE District. Renovation work will launch later this year and will encompass many areas, including audiovisual equipment, seating arrangements and overall theater ambiance. The renovations also include a long-term extension to the lease terms for Alamo to continue its presence at the Heights Shopping Center location.
The location holds historic community significance as it is the site of Richardson’s first shopping center, constructed in the 1950s following the expansion of US 75 into the Richardson city limits. In 2012, Austin-based Alamo Drafthouse announced expansion into the North Texas market, selecting Richardson Heights as its first location. Since then, Richardson Heights has experienced new life with popular restaurants, shopping and entertainment.
