TEXARKANA MAGAZINE

Jordan Liles, Burro Construction

When considering where the most opportunities for new development in

Texarkana lie, I see growth continuing to the north. The river bottoms are located in a floodplain, which limits some options, but as raw land becomes scarcer and prices rise, I expect expansion to also move toward the northeast and northwest.

I believe Texarkana is a good place to build right now, because we are in a unique position. While smaller than a major city like Dallas, it is steadily growing compared to other towns within a two-hour radius. Texarkana proper has direct access to elite builders and top subcontractors—professionals who, in larger cities, are often out of reach unless you have strong connections. In big markets, the best builders and their teams typically work only with the most well-connected clients because demand is so high. Here, though, we enjoy the perfect balance: exceptional talent paired with accessibility. I believe we are blessed to have the quality builders that we have in this region. And it is something special that they are readily accessible to everyone. Kyle Page, KP Construction Today’s buyers are drawn to details that elevate everyday living, such as cathedral ceilings in living areas, upgraded front doors, and thoughtful electrical upgrades, including occupancy switches in the laundry and master closet, as well as under-cabinet lighting. For spec homes, I focus on specific school districts where properties consistently command a higher value than other areas, making them a strong choice for both buyers and builders.
