Several new developments are enriching Downtown Arlington these days, and Urban Union is one of the most impressive. The facility has garnered great interest from Arlington residents and neighbors from all around the Metroplex.
Urban Union, the seven-acre infill site that today contains eight buildings and 70,000 square feet of lease space, has helped to revive the industrial edifice nestled between Abram and Division downtown.
Dodson Companies is the firm behind the updated engineering of the building, whose renovation and construction started back in 2014. Today, more and more successful businesses are becoming a part of the Urban Union, and participation in the many leasing and flex opportunities in the space has become a thing of status for many local shops and restaurants.
