Conway-based Nabholz Corp. recently paid the city of Springdale for a commercial building permit valued at $14 million.

The company is using the permit to start the construction of an approximately 80,000-square-foot medical office building at 2575 S. Gene George Blvd.

The approximately 7-acre construction site is north of Arkansas Children’s Northwest along Gene George Boulevard (formerly South 56th Street). CCHWI LLC is the land owner. The limited liability company is owned by C.L. George and Sons LP, a partnership made up of George’s Inc. chairman Gary George and his sister, Cathy (George) Evans.

Matt Brown, vice president of real estate development and gas at George’s, said the family partnership will also own the five-story building, through the limited liability company.

Nabholz is the general contractor, Polk Stanley Wilcox is the architect and McClelland Consulting Engineers is the civil engineer. Those same firms also led the development of the children’s hospital.

“The new building will match the look and feel of the hospital,” Brown said.

The building will be called Center for Children’s Health & Wellness. Brown said there are ongoing negotiations with “a couple” of undisclosed anchor tenants.

Alan W. Cole and Brown, both with Colliers International in Rogers, will handle the building’s leasing. Construction is expected to be completed by the fall of 2021. Colliers will also be the property manager.
