'Impasse' on Main Street

Private developers and the city of Little Rock have been investing in recent years to revive a stretch of Main Street but not all projects in the so-called Creative Corridor are taking off. George Waldon, with Arkansas Business, reports that two mixed-use commercial and residential properties being developed by Scott Reed – K Lofts and Main Street Lofts – are behind schedule and owe contractors more than a million dollars.

“The ground floor was going to be commercial. In this case, with a lot of interesting non-profit tenants like the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, the Rep, as well as a mix of some other folks like the Cranford Company and some artists,” said Waldon.

“But for whatever reason, things got off track schedule-wise, there’s some outstanding debts, the contractor on that project which was also on K Lofts had to step away because Scott was so far behind on paying the monthly draws on the construction and so both projects are kind of at an impasse.”
