Moses Tucker has announced plans to develop three storefronts("the garage shops") on the ground level of the Arkansas Capital Commerce Center parking deck across from their River Market Tower. These will be available for short term and long term leasing. In their press release it states that plans for another hotel in the area are still ongoing.

MT is developing a nice little neighborhood at Third and River Market Avenue.

I'm having a lot of trouble quoting and replying on this new forum software...


It's good to hear they are adding some more retail presence there on 3rd. With the businesses at the River Market tower seeming to do well and the Tuf Nut businesses getting some good foot traffic, additional space there should be pretty attractive. I would love to see the River Market one day mesh better with Main (the street level frontage at Block 2 and the neighboring building on Main would probably be important to making that corridor look pedestrian friendly) and the developing corridor on 3rd could be a nice offshoot/tie in to that whole district from a walk-ability standpoint.

I am having the same problems with the software.

If storefronts can be added to this parking deck then maybe some can be added, in the future, to the city parking deck on Main between 2nd and 3rd. Something needs to be done with this block because the west side is also a parking lot.

Software issues persist for me as well...

It's pretty encouraging news to see more storefronts in the works along E. Third.  If there was a way to carve storefronts out of the 2nd & Main deck both on its Main Street and 3rd Street sides, that would go a long way toward extending the momentum in the 300 Third/River Market Tower area.

I totally agree- the stretch from 2nd to 3rd on Main needs something other than parking garage/lot along the street front if they ever want the River Market to have a good connection with main, and it could nicely tie in with the progress taking place along 3rd too. If the retail space in the Block 2 Lofts and the small building at 2nd and Main would fill in with shops it would certainly help (although that small building at 2nd and Main would make a great spot for a larger building, say condo/apartment/office with first floor retail).

Construction at River Market Avenue and 3rd continues on the new location for Andina's Cafe.



Also down 3rd work is going on for the Garage Shops.
