Northwest Arkansas CRE Remains Robust

Northwest Arkansas’ commercial real estate market continues to demonstrate resilience and long-term strength, according to the latest coverage of our firm’s 2025 findings.

As recently reported in NWABJ, the region remains fundamentally strong across asset classes, even as certain sectors absorb new supply. Our 2025 Market Report highlights one of the tightest office markets in the country, with vacancy at just 4.6%. Limited speculative construction and sustained demand for Class A space have supported continued rent growth and stable occupancy.

In Rogers’ Pinnacle Hills area, The Visionaries is currently the only Class A office project offering contiguous availability over 5,000 square feet. The 193,772-square-foot development is scheduled for completion in summer 2026 and is already 37% leased—reflecting continued confidence in the region’s trajectory.

Industrial vacancy increased to 6.4% following several large build-to-suit and owner-occupied completions, many tied to the new Walmart Home Office campus. Despite this uptick, demand for modern industrial product remains strong, with rents reaching a record $9.60 per square foot.

Retail remains one of the strongest-performing sectors, with vacancy at approximately 3.2%, while multifamily experienced a rise in vacancy to 11.2% amid the delivery of more than 3,100 new units—signaling a normalization after years of rapid expansion.

Strong population growth, corporate investment, infrastructure improvements, and disciplined development continue to position Northwest Arkansas for long-term stability.
