A 40-year-old Arlington retail center is getting a major makeover.
Fielder Plaza on Randol Mill Road is being redeveloped by Dallas retail real estate firm Weitzman.
The 158,000-square-foot shopping center opened in 1978 and is anchored by Tom Thumb, CVS Pharmacy and Pet Supermarket stores.
Weitzman will start work next month to give the project a total facelift with a new exterior, signage, landscaping, parking and lighting.
"Despite its age, Fielder Plaza through dedicated leasing and management has remained one of the best-performing centers in the trade area and offers not only a leading grocery anchor but also a popular lineup of shops, services and restaurants," Weitzman's Joe Lea said in a statement.
The 52,000-square-foot Tom Thumb store is also being remodeled.
Other tenants in the popular retail project include Starbucks, Mathnasium, Edible Arrangements, Batteries Plus, Luna Spa, Tandoor Indian Restaurant, Bombay Bazaar and Sukothai Restaurant.
Hodges & Associates is the architect for the remodeling.
Weitzman's Matt Luedtke and Michael Sweet are leasing the center.
"Weitzman is making a significant investment that will enable this landmark retail center to continue to prosper for years to come," Herbert D. Weitzman, executive chairman of Weitzman, said.
