Arkansas Business has another story today about the Acxiom Building and Simmons. It reports that Simmons is not only looking at the building but is considering other options, which include remaining as is, relocating to another location or building their own building.
Would be nice to see the acxiom building full again bringing more daytime activity to the river market. Simmons has rapidly grown the past several years. Maybe they could even build a new office tower downtown. LR hasn't seen a new mid/high rise office building in what seems like ages.

I do not see a location for anywhere in AR listed on there website but when I searched Google a lot of articles came up mentioning one opening but no listing of one currently open either.

Sorry I was wrong, could of sworn I read that Bentonville was getting one but I guess it was something else.

Agreed, I don't see any chance an In N Out comes to Central Arkansas, especially before the metro even has a Whataburger.
Bentonville has an In N Out. Not saying it will be one but it would be cool. At least we have a David's burger in the river market.
I wonder what kind of retail the new library parking deck will get? Seems like a good spot for a Bar Louie type place.

It has been almost a year since the last update, so here goes.
Hilton Garden Inn: topping out should be at anytime.
Boyle Building Aloft: no word if construction will restart.
Holiday Inn Express: located on the same block as the Hilton Garden Inn. Opening scheduled for the summer of 2018.
Vib: cancelled and property sold to MT.
Apartment Projects
K Lofts: no progress.
Main Street Lofts: no progress.
Capitol Lofts: no progress but a zoning application was before the board this week and a new developer is looking at the project.
Legion Village: completed.
615 Main: completed.
Scott Street Flats: 48 units under construction.
Donaghey Building: no further word .
The Paint Factory: 16 units located on the second floor of Cromwell Architects new HQ now under construction.
The Artisan on Collins: 75-80 units proposed.
Holiday in express on same block as Hilton garden inn? How accurate is this? Doesn't seem to be room for that on the block but if so that's exciting

I don't know much about this area but why aren't any of the apartment projects being built to a higher height? Also, has anything else been said about the downtown holiday inn or aloft
I've lived in Little Rock for 5 years and haven't seen a new construction project over 6 floors in downtown area. Guessing demand isn't there and lack of developers.

It has been listed for awhile on their website. I read it will be located on the same block as the Hilton Garden Inn.
I wonder if they plan on the two hotels sharing parking? That will be nice density on that block, hope to see more apartment projects planned in that area soon. The demand seems to be there

The Row at Legion Village is now leasing.
Work on the Hilton Garden Inn appears to be ready to start. A number of construction containers/trailers are now in place inside the fenced area.
Unfortunately this is the street our highway engineers want to run interstate on/off traffic through (4th St.) for the new 30 crossing plan.
Just as the area was starting to become a walkable/livable environment.

Does the deck have any retail space facing Clinton Ave? If not what a huge missed opportunity. And yes, it's not very pretty to look at

Nice to see this project getting off the ground. Now it's Alofts turn

I agree that the Aloft needs to happen. I like the Hilton garden inn site and hope it still gets built, not sure what's causing the long delay? The Vib project seemed like an odd project and location, not surprised to hear that it may be cancelled.

Looks like Northwest Arkansas and dozens of other small-mid sized markets may be getting Top Golf. No mention of Little Rock unfortunately. I think one would do well around midtown or near the outlets.

US News recently ranked Fayetteville (and surrounding NWAR) #3 on the Best Places to Live in the County. Looking through the cities surrounding us on the list, it's pretty impressive to say the least.
Here is the link to the article: Fayetteville Ranks 3rd Best Place to Live in Country!
Get ready for the boom NWA, word is getting out.
Also, Little Rock came in at #32, not bad.

I didn't realize that people who can't afford cars or choose not to drive a car and use public transportation are a rough crowd. It was ok for the transfer station to be there when there was not much around it but now that there is development it is a detriment. Where would you suggest that the transfer station move in the downtown area?
I regularly get hit up for money walking near the station. Sometimes they become angry/aggressive if ignored or not given what they want (bus money usually). It's why my friend moved out of MacArthur park and why I never considered the area when searching for an apartment near downtown.
I'm glad people use the service to get to work, I'm not saying get rid of it. They could ask the people who regularly use it where it would best serve them. I don't think people who stay in hotels or upscale condos use it personally.

A new hotel in being planned for 6th and Cumberland, which is just southwest from the Legion Village project. Plans for the hotel will go before the Board of Adjustments later this month.
Interesting spot for a hotel. They need to deal with the homeless problem in that area. IMO, I would move the Central Arkansas Transit station elsewhere as it attracts a rough crowd and bus pollution, I'm sure that would cause an uproar though.
-
^Very cool development!
-
Hopefully the historic district commission doesn't stand in the way of this project.
The building has sat empty for 25 years and has no historical significance.
-
^Great news. MT continues to show why they are the best in the city.

It will be interesting to see what goes into those two spaces and if the AHTD has its way with I-30 Crossing some of the buildings to the east will be demolished for the expanding interstate. About the only good news for this area of the RiverMarket is the addition of Inuvo and Privacy Star in the Museum Building. Together both companies employ 125 and are looking to add an addition 75 next year.
Yes, I-30 expansion does threaten the continued growth and success of the river market. Would like to see us do away with the 2nd street exit/on ramp and find another way to get people DT. City leaders and AHTD need to step up and present a better plan.

Hilton Garden Inn rendering, impressive density in that area. Hopefully developers start looking to fill the gaps between the River Market and Main St, too many surface parking lots on Scott/Cumberland & 4th street.
-
That is the catch, have to pay to play though. These kind of projects could help change Arkansas's hillbilly reputation.Just a couple billion dollars and it could happen.

Imagine riding your bike from Fayetteville to crystal bridges and taking light rail back. Or taking it to work and to and from the airport. It would further connect the metro, attract a younger educated population, and encourage density. I would be a supporter

There isn't a market for that.
2 floors retail, 6 hotel & 2 condos doesn't seem unreasonable for a growing city nearing 85k. Fville seems against taller density projects so I wouldn't be surprised with 4-5 floors.
-
Anything on the mountain inn site lately? It was announced a year ago that condos and a hotel would be built but haven't seen any details since. I'm hoping for something similar to the Renaissance, it's a great location that deserves an impressive development. Can't wait to see what finally goes there.

The Promenade At Chenal
in Little Rock Metropolitan Area

If they install the comfy recliners seats it will replace Breckinridge as my go to theater. A dine in and bar would also be neat but I won't get my hopes up.
