High Rise Development in NWA

[coreysr5]

anyone else notice that only one of the builings exceeds 16 stories. i dont understand that, i want to see some 20-30 story buildings. Like the 2 Pinnacle mixed use towers proposed. Why not instead of making 2 16 story buildings, make 1 32 story building?

Yeah I agree with Matt. Real estate has gone up quite bit but not quite that much. Another factor that will hold things back is construction costs. Building a taller building I believe is more expensive than buildings two smaller buildings.

If all the density in NWA is built vertically right now there won't be enough density to create the energy around the high-rises to support them. I'm not sure tall buildings in the middle of an asphalt parking lot and a 5-lane road blend well with the concept of mixed use and walkable communities. The tall buildings seem to come as an infill solution after the land has been developed. Someday NWA may be there but right now there's not fast enough growth to fill multiple high-rises. It's about time for one of the Arvest reports to be released so that we can get an update on vacancy rates for houses and offices in Washington and Benton Counties.

It looks like Rogers will end up with the dominant skyline in NWA when all those towers are built.

I wonder where the best place will be to view the Rogers skyline? I know Fayetteville has quite a few good vantage points with all the hills and Rod hes demonstrated that fact.

The intersection of Horsebarn and Stoney Brook would give you a great view. It's on a hill so the height has something to do with it. At night you can see everything from the Promenade, to Embassy Suites, and the KNWA Tower. It's very well lit up.
