TL;DR: A builder or developer considering Presidential Drive in Lowell, Arkansas should first confirm permitted uses with the City of Lowell planning department, then call Cameron Torabi at 479-925-3333. The listing describes the 1.16-acre parcel as C-2 zoned and offers it at $850,000. Mason Capital Group's development service, working alongside brokerage, can coordinate survey, zoning verification and city planning conversations.
What does the listing say can be built on Presidential Drive?
The listing says the parcel supports a wide range of commercial uses, but it names no approved project, so the permitted-use list must come from the city.
Specifically, the listing describes the parcel as C-2 zoned and says Lowell's C-2 designation supports a wide range of commercial uses, giving a developer or owner-user flexibility in concept. Zoning and permitted uses are described by the listing as C-2, to be confirmed with the City of Lowell planning department.
The listing then points to a distinctive angle. The parcel sits among the wooded pathways and park amenities of this part of Lowell, adjacent to the Ward Nail Park trail network. That setting, the listing says, opens a use case most commercial lots cannot support: hospitality and destination concepts, including build-to-suit cabins tucked into the woods, serving the families and travelers already moving through the trails. It sits alongside conventional retail, service or office development as an option.
Read that as the listing's concept, not as an entitlement. Whether cabins or any other use are allowed on this parcel is a question for the city.
What is the development path, step by step?
The path runs from confirming the use to breaking ground, and the early steps cost the least while answering the most.
- Define the concept. Decide whether you are weighing retail, services, office or a hospitality concept such as build-to-suit cabins.
- Confirm zoning and permitted uses. Ask the City of Lowell planning department whether your concept fits the C-2 designation the listing describes.
- Commission a survey. The listing makes the buyer responsible for due diligence on lot dimensions, so a survey establishes what the 1.16 acres actually contains.
- Verify utilities. The listing gives no utility information, so confirm availability and capacity with the providers before you price the build.
- Check flood status. The listing gives no flood information. Confirm it before you design.
- Test the numbers. Compare the $850,000 price, site work and construction against what your concept can support, with your own advisors.
- Plan approvals and design. Take the concept through whatever site plan and permit steps the city requires.
- Close and build. Close on the parcel once the open items are answered to your satisfaction, then proceed to construction.
Order matters. A buyer can ask for a purchase contract in which closing follows the zoning and survey answers; an attorney should draft that structure.
