The Perfect Piece of Property for a Commercial Real Estate Investment

What are your qualifications for the Commercial Property you seek? What attributes does it need to possess in order to meet the criteria necessary to make it the perfect Real Estate for your company or your client?

What if your company is a small manufacturing facility in Central Arkansas which has outgrown the office, warehouse and manufacturing capacity of your current facility? You would obviously be looking for a piece of property which was reasonably priced, close to major streets and highways to make it easy to ship your goods. Since your site also contains the "corporate headquarters", you would want to choose a place where you're proud to bring customers and prospects. You'd also need a place desirable for your labor force.

What if, as a Commercial Real Estate Broker, your client is looking for a piece of property for a new hotel which caters to the burgeoning Little Rock travel/tourism trade. You would want an attractive property which is close to the action, picturesque and appealing to consumers. Riverfront property near Downtown Little Rock's main attractions certainly fits this bill.

Or suppose your client is a transportation firm needing a "port" along the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System to handle the offloading of cargo, for distribution to places via truck lines and railway? Wouldn't it be nice to find a property along the Arkansas River, centrally located in Downtown North Little Rock, which already contains a 100' Corps of Engineered Sheet-Piling Pier, which is 2 blocks from the intersection of Interstate 30 and Interstate 40, and only a mile from North Little Rock's Union Pacific rail yards?

ArgentaRiverfront.com meets all these criteria. Plus, it's priced to sell. See more on our Information Page, and come see why so many of your future neighbors have chosen this neighborhood to locate their businesses!

The NAR is predicting that “property fundamentals are steady and improving slightly, and total expected returns on a risk-adjusted basis appear very reasonable in the year ahead.”

They have also developed a must-see, 63 page report about the future of Real Estate Markets, which gives commercial investors insights into everything from economic outlook and capital markets, to expectations for the 5 major property sector markets.
