East Village

[skirby 59]

Now that the area east of I-30 and north of 9th street will be known as East Village I thought I would update what was under the topic "East Little Rock until it is renamed". Cromwell Architects is moving their headquarters to Shall and 6th into a 50,000 square foot warehouse. They plan to add an additional 20,000 square feet. Their plans include their offices, restaurants and loft space.  Redevelopment is planned to start in September.

 

Across Shall Street Rock Town Distillery will be leaving for a new location a few blocks away. eStem Charter School has completed the purchase of a building also on the west side of Shall for a new school.  Cromwell has also purchased the building on 6th next to where Rock Town is now located.

The area is also home to two local breweries, Lost 40 and Rebel Kettle.

Cromwell Architects have announced a "wallbreaking ceremony"  for their new headquarters on December 16, 2016.  Next Fall should see the completion of the project which will include their office space, lofts, restaurant, retail space and  a community room.

Plans are in the works for a mixed-use development containing between 75-80 apartment units as well as retail/office space. The property for the development sits on the east side of I-30 between East Capitol and 4th. It will be know as the Artisan On Collins. The developer recently purchased MacArthur Commons from MT.  This projects will only be a few blocks west of Cromwell's redevelopment at 6th and Shall.

The "wallbreaking" was held and the project will be known as the Paint Factory.

I do like the name.

It's no groundbreaking, but Arkansas Business does have news of the sale for the proposed building site in this week's edition, in its "Real Deals" column. The block is bounded by Rector on the west, 4th on the north, Capitol on the south, and Collins on the east, and sold for $1.7 million.

Shall Street is closed so work can continue on the Paint Factory at the end of the street.

The construction fence at the right in the above picture is for the eStem school.
