Arboretum Village _ concrete

The build-up has begun at Arboretum Village at Gaston-Garland-Grand, although it looks like there’s still some demolition going on as well. Construction crews have been pouring the foundation for the new shopping center for the past few weeks. For more background, check out these pictures of the demolition.

So far, we know of four secured and one possible tenant for the new shopping center.

Lincoln Property Co. met with neighbors in 2012 to talk about its plans to demolish and reconstruct the shopping center at Gaston-Garland-Grand. At the time, Lincoln said they were negotiating a lease with Starbucks for a building in the southwest corner.

A couple of weeks ago, Digg’s Taco Shop told us they’ve been in serious talks with Lincoln about sharing the building with Starbucks. As of yet, we don’t know if the deal has been inked.

And of course, we can expect The Fresh Market to anchor the center, Ace Hardware to transplant from its current location in Lakewood Shopping Center, and Luke’s Locker to receive a large stand-alone building at the center of the shopping center.
