Construction Updates: Arlington Medical Plaza

August 2026: Construction Update

Construction at the Arlington site has begun with the completion of the keystone retaining wall and installation of the water main. Excavation for the foundation and column pads continue. The concrete pour for the building foundations and column pads, as well as mechanical, plumbing and electrical below the slab will begin the week of August 10.

Construction crews install a concrete block retaining wall along an excavated site while an excavator pours gravel behind the wall.
Concrete foundation forms and reinforcing steel are in place across a large construction site as crews prepare for concrete pours. Excavated footings, wooden formwork, and gravel fill are visible throughout the future building footprint.
