RE: Baseline Road Shopping Center
Planning Commission - PZD Application
Mr. Thrower:
Woods Group Architects is representing Samer and Basima Thalji in the development of
their property located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Baseline Road and
Reek Road. The site consists of two parcels; a large track of vacant residential land
approximately 4.56 acres (Parcel # 351,0015002200) and a smaller lot approximately
22,667 sq.ft. zoned PCD (Z-8259) (Parcel # 351,0015500100). The small lot is an old
Sonic Drive-in restaurant which will be torn down. We are submitting both properties for
Planned Zoned Development (P.Z.D.) for the shopping center.
Our site in a rapidly developing part of the City of Litte Rock. This property is a prime
candidate for much -needed commercial development in this area of town. Our
preliminary planning calls for the development of a shopping center complex with
three(3) buildings. The main building has a total projected leasable area of 39,784 sq.ft.
Two(2) out parcels will contain a quick -serve restaurant of approximately 2016-sq.ft. and
a branch bank approximately 4000 sq.ft. We would like to reserve the right to place other
commercial establishments in these two(2) out parcels, should market conditions call for
more appropriate tenants. The property has ample space to satisfy landscape and parking
requirements with at least 199 on -site parking spaces.
We look forward to working with the Litte Rock Planning Commission to bring this
exciting quality development to southwest Little Rock. We are available to answer any
questions or provide any additional information required by planning staff. I can be
reached by cell phone at 501-425-4972.
Sincerely,
WOODS GROUP ARCHITECTS, INC.
