This ±71.2-acre development tract on Sturgis Road offers a rare opportunity for large-scale investment in one of Central Arkansas’ fastest-growing markets. Located less than 2 miles from Dave Ward Drive and South Harkrider Street—Conway’s primary commercial corridors—and approximately 2 miles from Interstate 40, the site provides excellent access and regional connectivity. Positioned within a rapidly expanding area, it benefits from nearby growth drivers such as Baptist Health Medical Center Conway, Virco Manufacturing, Gainwell Technologies, Mercer Mass Timber, and Crafton Tull. Currently zoned A-1, the property offers flexibility for future rezoning to accommodate manufacturing, distribution, residential, or multifamily uses. Situated in Conway, known as the “City of Colleges” with institutions like UCA, Hendrix, and Central Baptist College, the area supports a strong, educated workforce and continued population growth. With a diverse economy anchored by healthcare, education, technology, and advanced manufacturing, this site is well-positioned for long-term demand and investment stability.
The regulations for the A-1 Agricultural Zoning District are designed to preserve and protect prime agricultural lands and to protect undeveloped areas from intensive uses until a use pattern is approved.
