A 42-unit residential building is set to rise at 841-51 S 2nd St in Bella Vista & Queen Village, a mid-scale addition to one of the city's busier development corridors. It was cleared to build in Oct 21, 2021.

The owner of record is Beck Street LLC. The project's plan drawings are on file — worth a look for anyone underwriting the surrounding block.

It isn't rising in isolation. Within a half-mile, 2 other major projects have broken ground since 2022 — roughly 166 units of new supply — including the 9-unit project at 608 S American St, the 157-unit project at 419 Bainbridge St. That kind of concentration is exactly what pulls land values, and buyer attention, toward a block.

We'll update this page as the project progresses — leasing, retail tenants, renderings, and construction milestones as they surface. The relevant question for investors and agents: what are the surrounding parcels worth to a builder now that this is coming?
