Real Deals: Tulsa developer leading Bentonville hotel project

A commercial building permit valued at $5.64 million is being used to build a new hotel in Bentonville.

Tulsa-based developer Hi-Tech Hospitality is developing the 96-room Avid by IHG at 3402 Medlin Lane. The 1.6-acre site is just off Walton Boulevard. It’s directly behind two other hotels — Holiday Inn Express & Suites and Super 8 by Wyndham.

Continental Capital LLC paid $88,000 for the land in May 2018.

Avid is the 13th and newest brand under the InterContinental Hotels Group (NYSE: IHG) umbrella. IHG, headquartered domestically in Georgia, is reportedly planning to open 130 Avid hotels over the next three to five years in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The first, with 87 rooms, opened in August 2018 in Oklahoma City.

John Sanford Architects of Tulsa is designing the Bentonville hotel.
