The Army ceased operations at the Arsenal in 1968.  In the ensuing years, buildings were converted to office, commercial and residential space. The Arsenal complex now includes the Arsenal Mall, apartments, condominiums, the Arsenal Center for the Arts, restaurants, a health club, day care center, and office space for a variety of companies, and an expansive park.

In the mid 1980s the Arsenal Park Condos opened with 36 condos in a combination of renovated old buildings and newly constructed brick townhouses designed to blend in with the original Arsenal buildings.
