TL;DR: Self-storage developers and investors should look at the HWY 49 Storage Facility site in Springdale, Arkansas: 7.92 acres at $2,500,000 with mini-storage approval already finalized, per the listing. Plans and development rights convey at closing. The parcel is at 3936 S 48th Street, and zoning and permitted uses are to be confirmed with the city planning department. The listing broker is Cameron Torabi of Mason Capital Group, 479-925-3333.
What is the HWY 49 Storage Facility site and what does $2,500,000 buy?
It is a 7.92-acre corner parcel at 3936 S 48th Street in Springdale, Arkansas, adjacent to the I-49 on/off ramp at Don Tyson Parkway, offered at $2,500,000. The listing page for the HWY 49 Storage Facility carries the full presentation.
Per the listing, the site has dual street frontage and traffic exposure of approximately 102,000 vehicles per day. It is described as level, with major road frontage on the Highway 49 corridor.
The central feature is the approved plan. The listing says the seller has finalized approval for a mini-storage facility, with plans and development rights conveying at closing. The listing states that the entitlement work, typically the longest and least certain phase of a ground-up project, has already been done.
An additional 5 acres adjacent to the site is available for negotiation, per the listing, for a buyer who wants to expand the planned facility or add complementary uses. Land is what is offered here, and no building or income is described.
Who should buy the HWY 49 Storage Facility site?
This site fits self-storage developers and investors who want to begin from an approved plan, and it does not fit buyers seeking a finished, income-producing asset or a residential lot.
Self-storage developers
A storage developer is the intended buyer. The approved plan set and development rights convey at closing, so the buyer starts with entitlement work complete rather than ahead of it. A buyer should still confirm the approval and its terms with the city planning department, and zoning and permitted uses are to be confirmed there as well.
Investors
An investor who plans to fund or partner on a ground-up storage project may value the corner position and the traffic exposure the listing describes. The listing also cites in-migration as a driver of self-storage demand. It does not state projected income or a return, and no return is promised here. Underwriting is the buyer's work, with a tax advisor or attorney.
Buyers wanting more scale
The adjacent 5 acres, available for negotiation, may interest a buyer who wants a larger footprint or complementary uses on the same corridor.
Who this is not for
Prospective homeowners and owner-users needing an existing building should look elsewhere. The listing describes a development site with an approved storage plan.
Why Springdale and why now?
Springdale is home to Tyson Foods' corporate headquarters, and the listing ties the timing to population growth and the multi-phase expansion of the I-49 corridor. The listing describes the city as one of the primary employment and logistics centers of the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers metro. See our Springdale town page for context.
- The site sits south of a Walmart Neighborhood Market and adjacent to Don Tyson Parkway, per the listing.
- Highway 49 is described in the listing as a principal north-south commercial artery through Springdale.
- The listing says the I-49 corridor is now undergoing multi-phase expansion under the state's Connecting Arkansas Program, which it calls a long-term signal of sustained traffic and commercial activity.
- Northwest Arkansas was recently ranked the 9th fastest-growing metro in the United States, adding nearly 15,000 residents between 2024 and 2025 to reach a population of 622,177, per U.S. Census Bureau estimates.
The listing's investment thesis is that sustained in-migration of this kind is consistently identified as a driver of self-storage demand, since new households, downsizing residents and relocating businesses all generate storage needs before, during and after a move. That is the listing's view and not a forecast of results for any buyer.
What should a buyer verify before making an offer?
A buyer should start with the approval itself, because the value of this site rests on it. Verify the following, in roughly this order.
- Entitlements: obtain the approval documents and the full plan set, and confirm with the city planning department what the approval permits and how long it remains valid. Zoning and permitted uses are to be confirmed there.
- Conveyance: confirm in the contract exactly which plans and development rights convey at closing.
- Survey: confirm the 7.92 acres, the dual street frontage and any access limits at the I-49 ramp and Don Tyson Parkway.
- Utilities: confirm availability and capacity for the planned facility.
- Flood and site conditions: review flood status and the level site against the plan set.
- Taxes and title: confirm taxes with your tax advisor and title with your attorney.
- Adjacent land: if you want the additional 5 acres, negotiate its terms alongside the main parcel.
