$60M Expansion Begins at Arlington Highlands

ARLINGTON, TX-Dirt work starts for a 160,000-sf expansion to the $200-million, 640,000-sf Arlington Highlands. A 130-key, Hyatt-flagged hotel is part of the new lineup.

ARLINGTON, TX-Work is under way on a $60-million expansion to the $200-million Arlington Highlands, a 640,000-sf assortment of lifestyle retailers with another 160,000 sf and 130-key hotel en route. The 19.47-acre expansion will deliver spaces for tenant finish-out in late spring or early summer.

The expansion, Arlington Highlands East, will build out the development partnership’s 80-acre tract. Arlington Highlands sits on land owned for decades by the Mathes family, which includes Retail Connection senior vice president John Curtis Mathes, the point man for the project’s leasing campaign. The development partnership also includes Dallas-based Retail Connection and its in-house development arm, Connected Development Services.

Developers like to promote the demand that a project generates. In Arlington Highlands’ case, the build-out phase broke ground yesterday at 80% tenancy for existing and new space and deals in the works for the last 25,000 sf of the expansion phase. And despite Arlington’s hefty retail market and the project’s proximity to the 1.5-million-sf, 180-store Parks at Arlington, at least 80% of Arlington Highlands’ retailers are new to the market, according to Mathes.
