Additionally, by the end of January, the shop- ping center is expected to welcome two dining options: Korean dessert house and cafe Cafe du Bliss, located in the previous Cinnaholic space, and Ugly Dumpling, located near Juliet Italian Kitchen.
The Arboretum has seen a variety of changes from 2019-2025, including restaurant openings and clothing store closures. According to previous Community Impact reporting, in the past five years, 12 retailers have opened in the area, and five have closed.
Business changes have surfaced beyond the shopping center throughout the entire Arboretum area. In 2024, Regal Arbor 8 Cinema at Great Hills was demolished after 30 years in the community. The demolition was the result of a 2017 redevelopment proposal that outlined plans to repurpose Great Hills Market retail center, according to previous Community Impact coverage. The proposed redevelopment was put on hold due to ongoing leases at the center, including Manuel’s, a Mexican restaurant that joined the property in 1998. As of September, owner Jennifer McNevin said the redevelopment has been put on hold indefinitely, and Manuel’s lease has been extended past its December end date.

Stockdale Capital Partners did not respond to inquiries for a statement as of press time.
The neighborhood may be looking at upcoming developments if a proposed site plan for Arboretum Crossing is approved. As stated in the site plan, developer Stockdale Capital requested to demolish five of the existing buildings on the land. A representative with Austin Development Services stated since the site plan hasn’t been approved, a demolition permit has yet to be filed with the city. “For this type of project, a demolition permit
