Latest Updates on Walmart, Home Depot & Costco

Walmart

Target Opening: April 2026

The exterior is a wrap. The parking lot is striped. And crews have moved inside for the final interior fit-out. This progress locks in the April Grand Opening target, meaning inventory stocking should begin as early as March.

Home Depot

Target Opening: Late Q3 2026

Vertical construction has officially begun. The first concrete wall section and support bracing went up this week, marking the transition from foundation work to structure. This milestone keeps the project aligned with its contractual Late Summer delivery target.

Costco

Target Opening: Early Q4 2026

Heavy machinery is moving fast. We observed crews setting wooden foundation forms on Thursday. With the pad prep entering final stages, the concrete slab pour is imminent. Expect a rapid vertical build this summer to meet a pre-holiday opening target.

Passion Dance Center

Passion Dance Center, a family-owned dance studio, is set to open its doors this Spring. Boasting over 9,000 square feet, this space is designed to be far more than just ‘rooms with mirrors’.
