Investment Overview

Little Rock, the capital and largest city in Arkansas, serves as the state’s commercial, medical, and cultural hub. With a population exceeding 200,000 in the city and more than 750,000 in the metropolitan area, Little Rock offers a balanced mix of economic stability, strong demographics, and long-term growth drivers. The metro is home to major employers in healthcare, government, education, and logistics, supporting steady demand for retail, housing, and services. The property is located in West Little Rock, one of the city’s most affluent and rapidly growing submarkets. The surrounding trade area boasts median household incomes well above the metro average and a dense residential base anchored by established neighborhoods such as Chenal Valley, Pleasant Valley, and Rock Creek. The area is recognized for its high quality of life, strong homeownership rates, and ongoing housing turnover that consistently fuels renovation and home improvement spending. Markham Street and Bowman Road, the primary retail corridors serving West Little Rock, feature a diverse mix of national tenants including Kroger, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, and Sam’s Club. Recent city-backed infrastructure investments, including the Markham Street “Road Diet” project, will enhance the corridor with improved sidewalks, landscaping, and pedestrian access, further solidifying the trade area as a premier retail destination. The site also benefits from its proximity to major medical centers such as Baptist Health and Arkansas Heart Hospital, as well as the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, which continues to grow enrollment. These drivers, combined with excellent highway access via I-430 and I-630, ensure long-term traffic and sustained demand for retail.
