Dear readers.

As you look through the property listings in this year's Arkansas Business Office Retail Lease Guide, you may notice some differences from past editions. You'll find the normal property additions and deletions, changes in available space and cost, and the regular shuffling of properties to different agents and firms.

However, some buildings that have gone by one name are now listed as another. Some properties are listed in a geographic location different from their previous listing. And there are even properties that never before made it into the Guide, despite being qualified, which are now listed.

Cataloguing all the office, retail and warehouse properties in central Arkansas is a daunting task. But we understand your need for complete, accurate listings. That is why Arkansas Business Publishing Group has partnered with a company that specializes and excels in commercial real estate listing services.

Xceligent Inc. of Independence, Mo., provides extensive, consistent, accurate, timely and comprehensive commercial real estate data and analysis in more than 30 U.S. markets, including, most recently, the Little Rock metro area.

We partnered with Xceligent to provide data for this edition of Office Retail Lease Guide, Arkansas Business and ArkansasBusiness.com and hope this arrangement will provide you with the best possible combination of complete and correct real estate listings.

Naturally, we have found differences in the way our two companies researched commercial real estate properties, so you may notice some variation between this year's listings and last. You may even notice some discrepancies.

Our companies cooperated and strove to get the best data possible, but with more than 600 property listings and a new research partner, omissions and errors are possible.

We will continue to revise and improve the listings, and you can find up-to-date commercial real estate listings online at ArkansasBusiness.com/realestateguide. Also, if you have not already taken advantage of Xceligent's services and would like to know more, you can contact David O'Rell at dorell@xceligent.com or (816) 303-2888.

In the meantime, however, if you find omissions or errors in the listings, please send those to Jecca Newport at jnewport@xceligent.com or (816) 559-5946.

And, as always, we welcome suggestions and recommendations about how to make this publication an even better resource for you. Please don't hesitate to contact me at jhankins@abpg.com or (501) 372-1443 or Office Retail Lease Guide editor Jan Cottingham at jcottingham@abpg.com or (501) 372-1443.

Sincerely,

Jeff Hankins
