Northwest Arkansas Skyline Changing in Response to Land Prices

In Northwest Arkansas, you might notice trend toward a skyline which looks a little more metropolitan, according to a recent article from the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Rising land prices are encouraging building to make the most of their available footprint by building up rather than out, resulting in taller building in both residential and commercial settings. This is especially true in more populated areas such as Rogers, Bentonville and Fayetteville. In Rogers, the 10 story Hunt Tower is scheduled to open later this year. In Bentonville land prices have nearly doubled in the last five years.

Taller buildings have many advantages, such as greater efficiency for wiring, plumbing, and air conditioning. There are also unique challenges to taller buildings, especially how to build them in such a way that the existing landscape and views are not obscured. Different cities and city planners have different approaches to taller buildings. Rogers, for example, has limited downtown growth to five-story buildings, and only in certain areas.  Bentonville has done its best to maintain an approachable and walkable downtown.

Building taller houses in residential neighborhoods remains a less popular option, although two and three story buildings are growing in demand. Regardless of how far your roof is of the ground, every building needs a quality roof. Quality Assurance Roofing is an established roofing company that specializes in residential and commercial roofing.
