Texarkana, Texas and Arkansas

November 2026 · Preliminary report · Updated November 1

The short version

Texarkana has several different development stories. Amazon's Arkansas delivery station and Hyatt Studios on the Texas side have opened. TAMUT reports a completed academic building and continuing athletic construction, while planning more housing. Texas High's $59 million career and technical center opened in March, and a converted North State Line hotel now holds 113 apartments. Those deliveries and proposals should not be counted as one active construction pipeline.^{2, 9, 11, 38, 39}

Pleasant Grove Surgical Hospital is a separate, newly filed hospital proposal at 3133 Pleasant Grove Road. Its July registration estimates $18 million for a 36,858-square-foot, two-story, six-bed facility. The table carries it as Filed: the submitted August 2026 start and August 2027 completion do not confirm construction. Potter Properties is the listed owner and BB&W Architects the designer.^{44, 45}

The West Park hospital campus built for Wadley is a separate question, and its status is unconfirmed. A June guide describes it as unused and seeking an operator. An August Gazette headline says the property owner calls it finished and reports operator interest; we could not read that story. Neither completion nor an operator is confirmed, so it stays out of the table. Future dates in an accessibility registration do not make it an active project.^{18, 43}

University Avenue and the Texas commercial corridors

The university's housing strategy describes a multi-phase Eagle Landing program. The system's second-quarter FY2026 update lists project 22-3482, Eagle Landing Phase 4, with a $51.8 million planning amount. Its older campus strategy and capital plan use different phase sizes and schedules. The table carries the expansion as Proposed while those records are reconciled. It does not turn a fall target into an opening or add phase budgets together.^{1, 3, 4}

WoodSpring Suites has a July state registration for a 38,220-square-foot hotel on Piney Road. HomeGoods has a 30,600-square-foot tenant-improvement registration at Town West. These are documented filings. A submitted start date and an accessibility inspection are different from a confirmed construction start or store opening.^{8, 10}

The sports investment is already partly delivered. The city's June 2025 report says the renovated Swanger complex opened that May. Parks Elementary and Dunbar also opened for the 2025 school year. They remain visible as recent changes to the market, outside active construction.^{16, 17}

Downtown reuse

Landmark on Pine would put 40 senior apartments in historic buildings on Pine Street. TSAHC describes a total development budget near $16.1 million; the TDLR construction estimate is lower because it is a different measure. KTBS later reported an $18 million total that includes market-rate units and retail, with work to start in summer 2026 by removing asbestos and lead paint. The figures measure different things and are not reconciled. Neither projected start is proof work began. Nearby, the city reported construction at the Assembly Line incubator in March 2026. Its latest delivery date remains a follow-up item.^{5, 6, 7, 27, 42}

The Arkansas side

KSLA reported Amazon operations in September 2025 and a ribbon cutting in February 2026. The ceremony is not the operational start date. Airport work has more than one track: an enacted $11 million federal appropriation supports taxiway and taxilane improvements. Separately, May 18 board minutes record a 5-0 vote authorizing a $15,786,713 Tatum Excavating agreement for the runway 4/22 extension, overlay and taxiway Delta extension. The Gazette's August 21 front page reports the first phase, a 500-foot extension and overlay, began July 20. It puts the three phases above $63 million with completion expected in 2027. That figure is reported, not added to the contract.^{11, 14, 33, 34, 40}

The runway is being lengthened for large aircraft. In April, Dean Baldwin Painting and the airport announced a four-bay aircraft painting facility with 150 to 160 jobs. The August report names it the expected first tenant of the planned MRO site. No investment figure, building contract or start date has been found, so the table carries it as Proposed.^{40, 41}

One housing delivery came from reuse rather than new building. KTBS reported the former America's Best Value Inn at 4200 North State Line reopened as ArTex Commons, 113 studio and one-bedroom apartments. The Gazette covered it in March 2025; the exact opening date is not in the story we reviewed.³⁹

Two smaller housing leads need following even though they fall below the table's 50-home threshold. Local reporting describes a 40-lot Highlands subdivision on North Rondo Road. A September legal notice puts a 45-lot Autumn Creek final plat on the October planning agenda. A hearing notice does not establish its outcome.^{19, 20}

The Arkansas street and drainage bond program is another material lead. The reported $29.41 million issue includes refunding as well as new capital work. We have not turned its face value into a new-construction total or assigned it to individual streets.²²

Nash and Wake Village

Nash's July minutes record a utility-upgrade presentation and authorization to apply for a water grant. April 2025 minutes award the EDA disaster-improvements contract to Francis Excavating for $2,569,148.22, contingent on EDA approval. Separate April 2026 minutes correct the downtown revitalization award to $357,567.33, including both alternates. Neither record establishes completion.^{24, 35, 36}

Wake Village's meeting and permit inventory is still open. No absence of projects is inferred from that gap. Its school renovation appears in the district's facilities plan; the current scope and completion remain research questions.³²

Smaller projects and public land

The city's permit reports also capture restaurant alterations, offices, clinics and smaller residential addresses. Those records stay in the research register even when they do not enter the table. The 2025 annual report describes city land preparation in Falvey Industrial Park and the Pleasant Grove/Cooper Lane annexation service plan; parcel boundaries and overlapping actions still need reconciliation.^{7, 16, 26}

Historic Orr School is a named priority site in a regional brownfields assessment grant. That supports environmental and reuse planning, not a committed building redevelopment or a construction start.²¹

Still checking

• Pleasant Grove Surgical Hospital: the official site-plan vote, building permit, construction activity and operator. A secondary December 2025 approval summary conflicts with the first-briefing and scheduled-vote agendas; it is not used as approval evidence.^{44, 49, 50}
• The Primary, Nash: phased reuse of the five-acre former Nash School campus. October magazine reporting describes the Commons restaurant opened in October 2025, a 12,000-square-foot Court event venue and a 17-suite hotel projected for early 2027. The later phases' delivery and permits need confirmation.⁴⁶
• State Line Avenue and Hazel: the city's project page identifies proposed corridor work under ARDOT job 030477. Current scope, adoption, right-of-way and letting need checking; planning is not construction.⁴⁷
• Sunset Apartments: a May filing identifies rehabilitation of 150 existing apartments at 1601 Allen Lane, with an $8.5 million estimate. Financing and physical work remain unconfirmed; this adds no new homes to a housing total.⁴⁸
• West Park hospital: whether the building is finished, the owner's operator talks, actual site activity and the relationship between hospital and medical-office filings.^{18, 43}
• Eagle Landing: current phase names, individual bed counts, procurement and delivery dates. The system's Phase 4 update needs matching to campus records.^{1, 3, 4}
• South Bishop Road: separate multifamily/retail and industrial rezoning leads. The September 14 original packet identifies the 2014 South Bishop request as 13.344 acres and schedules an October 12 council vote. The packet includes a draft ordinance, so the recorded outcome still needs checking.^{30, 37}
• The Highlands, Autumn Creek and Ridge at Texarkana: current stage, parcels and possible property-name overlaps. The investor's Ridge address is on Preston Street.^{19, 20, 29}
• Fairview Academy: a reported groundbreaking; the individual project cost and conflicting completion-year references remain unresolved.³¹
• Water and sewer: REDI site extensions, TWU meters and line replacements, with budgets and locations separated from the regional Riverbend treatment program.^{23, 26}
• Airport: runway progress after Phase 1, taxiway procurement, MRO site preparation and whether Dean Baldwin's facility reaches a lease, contract or start. Available airport land is not a tenant commitment.^{14, 23, 40}
• Smaller commercial filings: openings, completions, aliases and later inspections rather than assumptions from projected dates.⁷

How we built it

The boundary covers both Texarkanas, Nash and Wake Village, and adjoining urban highway corridors in Bowie and Miller counties. It does not mean every part of both counties. TexAmericas Center and Red River Army Depot remain outside this public table. The locator on Home and Markets is schematic, not a coverage boundary.

This first pass combines independent city and corridor searches, Texas city quarterly and annual reports, university capital plans, state filings, transport programs, agency notices and local reporting. No market-wide records-through date is claimed. None of the four cities has a completed permit and inspection sweep. The meeting follow-up recovered legacy Texas records, 49 Arkansas board agendas, Nash records and Bowie County minutes. Agenda screening is further along than attachment and outcome review. Newer city portals, Wake Village records and Miller County downloads leave material gaps. The full 24-month meeting review, school capital budgets, utility and housing-authority records, procurement histories remain open. A separate pre-repository omission search added leads; its West Park searches were qualified by automatically supplied prior context. It is not an unqualified blind or exhaustive audit. These gaps limit the report's completeness.

The table distinguishes a plan, a filing, a named authorization, physical work reported on a source date and a delivery. It calculates no combined investment or housing total. Map points locate context; several campus projects share a campus point and do not imply a fixed building site.
