North Hills Mall was built in 1979 at 7624 Grapevine Hwy (SH 26) in North Richland Hills, Texas, a suburb northeast of Fort Worth. The mall flourished and co-existed with nearby North East Mall until North East Mall expanded in 1999. The reconstruction process of the Interstate 820/Airport Freeway junction limited access to the mall which also contributed to the demise of this mall. The mall closed in 2004, and sat vacant until the entire building was demolished in early 2007.^[3][4]
