MacArthur Center’s Demolition Delayed | Virginia Beach News

MacArthur Center’s 27-year run is officially over, but demolition won’t happen until late 2027—at the earliest—thanks to delays in finalizing its redevelopment plan. Originally slated for late 2026, the city’s revised timeline reflects new insights into how the 20-acre site will be transformed, with Hg80 leading development talks. Plans now include a hotel, apartments, and retail—with a grocery store eyed for the old Nordstrom space. Closing the mall saved taxpayers $1.5 million annually, down from $3 million, as outdated systems were costly to maintain. Before demolition, auctions will sell off mall fixtures, including memorabilia from Nordstrom Cafe and Regal Cinema.
