Future Visions

Jimmy Moses

 “Moses Tucker Real Estate is committed to the redevelopment of downtown Little Rock for one simple reason – building a strong, urban core is the success to a vibrant city. 

More than two decades ago, I was blessed to be part of a vision to develop an arts and entertainment area in the downtown warehouse district of Little Rock. Through the collective efforts of many, many people, we have been fortunate to see that vision become a reality as the River Market District has become the vibrant epicenter of our capitol city, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

Among its many great qualities, one thing I am constantly impressed with is the blending of historic and modern elements within the River Market District – the juxtaposition of old and new in one space and place. This quality is best seen by the neighboring architecture, where older, historic buildings stand proudly next to new, contemporary construction and something that lends itself to the variety that is downtown Little Rock. Its resources are valuable and are worth preserving and enhancing for future generations.

Arkansans are hungry for a more unique living and working environment that encourages diversity of all types and the conveniences of an 18-hour city.  In 10 years, I think you’ll see more than 1,000 new residential units in downtown Little Rock, a significant number of specialty retail shops, major upscale grocery and department stores and numerous new, start-up companies located in the area that will be able to provide all of that.

I believe downtown Little Rock is destined to be referred to as one of the great medium-size urban cities in the United States; a town that celebrates diversity with an exciting metropolitan lifestyle, and includes a waterway full of interesting outdoor activities that keep residents close to nature.

I consider myself fortunate to have played an instrumental role in birth of the River Market, and I am equally proud to be involved with its coming growth. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for our great city.”

World Class Downtown

“Reflecting on all the changes that we have seen in the downtown area since Metropolitan National Bank first located its headquarters here in 1985, I am simply amazed. The Clinton Presidential Library, River Market, ChamberCenter, StatehouseConvention Center, ALLTEL Arena and Dickey-StephensPark are all examples of the dynamic evolution of our center city.  And the success of these extraordinary facilities and business centers has now given rise to a boom in residential and mixed-use properties in downtown Little Rock such as the Capital Commerce Center and 300 Third Tower.  The momentum is undeniable.

The rejuvenated spirit of downtown has also been a key element to the continued transformation of our city. It is a top destination for conferences, tourism, new business, entertainment, and, of course, “Nearby and Neighborly®” banking.  The downtown renaissance has filled our entire city with an air of excitement, pride and vitality; and Metropolitan National Bank is proud to be a part of the development and growth of a truly world-class community.”
