A $30 million easterly expansion for the Arlington Highlands is on the horizon. The
Retail Connection plans to break ground on the open-air center's second phase, on 21 acres east
of the Interstate 20 and Matlock Road intersection, in November. John Mathes, SVP at The Retail
Connection, said the shopping center's newest installment will span 175,000 square feet. The next
phase will include two entertainment-related anchors. It also will house five restaurants, three of
which will be free standing, plus two stand-alone buildings surrounded by park features and a yet-tobe-
named boutique hotel. The new phase, called Arlington Highlands East, will be completed by
late summer of 2008.
