BIG NEWS! Nabholz Properties has unveiled plans for a $25 million mixed-use development next to Simmons Bank Arena and the 2nd Street Promenade, featuring a new 90-room Aloft Hotel, a 7,000-square-foot event venue, and the future home of Willy D’s Dueling Pianos.

• New Home: part of a $25 million mixed-use development beside Simmons Bank Arena and next to the new Aloft Hotel — The Arena District.
• Modern Design: two-story building with a wrap-around mezzanine and 24-foot ceilings for incredible stage views.
• Outdoor Experience: patios and New Orleans-style balconies overlooking the promenade, perfect for arena-night crowds.
• All About the Show: DEEP Ultra Lounge won’t move — the focus is on the high-energy, interactive dueling-piano experience you know and love.
• Multi-Use Stage: removable pianos for full-band shows, events, and private parties.
• Food: partnership with John Daly’s Perky’s Pizza.
• Tech & Atmosphere: a VIP section and large video wall above the stage for visuals and big-game nights.
• Parking & Access: valet service through the new Aloft Hotel plus plenty of nearby lots and street parking.
• Timeline: construction underway — opening targeted for late summer 2026 (or fall if timelines shift).
• Continuity: our Little Rock River Market location stays open until the new venue is ready — no weekends missed!
• Community: the city plans to extend the entertainment district from Argenta to the Arena District with music, food, and nightlife.

We are currently collecting new items to bring comfort, warmth, and a little fun to their holiday season:

Socks • Hats • Gloves • House Shoes • T-Shirts (all sizes) • Blankets • Board Games • Coloring Books (and crayons too!)

Drop-Off Locations:

• North Little Rock Police Dept. – #1 Justice Center Drive, NLR

The City of North Little Rock requires all individuals going door-to-door to sell a product or service to obtain a permit. The City of North Little Rock currently does not have any permitted door-to-door sales. Several residents in North Little Rock have been approached by door-to-door sales people. Please be cautious and report any door-to-door solicitors. The applicant must fill out an application provided by the city, provide an Arkansas State Police background check, a Surety Bond in the applicant’s name, no less than $1,000, a passport-size photo, $6 administration fee, and a $75 Business/Privilege License fee. All permit applications are sent to the North Little Rock Police Chief, who reviews all requests and either approves or denies permit requests within five business days. Issued permits are good for 90 days.  Any person found going door-to-door without the proper photo identification issued by the North Little Rock City Clerk will be subject to a citation and may be required to appear in court. If found guilty, the person will be subject to a fine and court costs.  If a person fails to appear for the scheduled court date, their driver’s license will be suspended, and a Failure to Appear Warrant will be issued in the person’s name.

Please note, the City of North Little Rock requires ALL persons doing business in the city to obtain a City Business/Privilege License. Any person or business operating without a license will be subject to a citation, etc. as listed above.  Businesses include food trucks, brick-and-mortar establishments, door-to-door flyers, lawn care services, tree trimming, and financial sales, among others. If a person holds a state license of any kind (contractor, stylist, health inspection, daycare, etc.) a copy is also required before a City Business/Privilege License will be issued.

If someone comes to your door selling a product and is unable to produce a North Little Rock city-issued photo identification, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday, please call the City Clerk’s Office at 501-975-8617.  If it is after hours or on the weekend, please call the North Little Rock Police Department non-emergency number at 501-758-1234.  If a person comes to your door and you feel threatened, please call 911.
