Springdale is growing and changing quickly right before our eyes. No
part of town is growing faster than the part of town assigned the name
of Overlay District. Arvest Ballpark was the cornerstone of the area built
over a decade ago to attract people from all over Northwest Arkansas
to Springdale and to provide entertainment in the region. In the last 24
months, the growth we have seen come out of the ground has been
exceptional.
Sam's Club occupies the Northeast corner of the Overlay. It brought back millions of sales tax dollars that had been traveling North and South of us since Sam's left their previous location for Fayetteville. To the South of the big box store is Arkansas Childrens Northwest. The state of the art children's hospital made Springdale the desired location for child health care in the region. These two anchors have now lead to multiple properties being developed around them. Let's take a look.
On the South side of Don Tyson Parkway and East of Gene George Boulevard Highlands Encology just recently opened their regional Cancer Treatment Facility. Word has it that they have also purchased the property adjoining them to the North and will be building a research and development lab there in the near future. Acfross Don Tyson you will see the steel going up for the USAble Corporation building. Nabholz construction is currently working on the project for the Blue Cross and Blue Shield owned company. The project will be 81,000 square feet and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2021.
The Gene George corridor is quickly becoming a medical hub. With the completion of Arkansas Childrens Northwest came the need for offices for the doctors. To the North of the hospital you will see an 80,000 square foot, $14 million building being erected that will match the look and feel od Childrens and is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2021. These facilities along with Highlands Encology and Mercy on exit up at the Elm Springs exit are making West Springdale a medical destinmation. That is to say nothing of the over 160,000 square foot facility that is being discussed and planned by UAMS for the Overlay District.
To the West of Arvest Ballpark is the newly minted Northwest Arkansas Community College campus for Washington County. A jog across the street will take you to the Trails At The Crossings apartment community. This project is a 468 unit joint project between the Lindsey and George families and includes many design elements desired for the overlay and amenities unique to the property. A trip to the Northern part of the Overlay District and across the Street from Sam's Club lands you on the property recently announced by the George family as The Crossings. This retail and commercial development probably excites residents the most. On it's Northeast corner sits the location of what many believe will be Chik Fil A. The property also includes multiple water features and 4 additional commercial sites for offices, restaurants or retail.
The Overlay District is growing quickly and beginning to blossom into what many had envisioned years ago when Arvest Ballpark was built with a Springdale bond. With the widening and extension of Gene George Boulevard we will begin to see just how wonderful this Springdale development area can become.
