Entergy Arkansas buys back Baseline Road network office for $1.4M
Entergy Arkansas Inc. paid $1.4 million last month for its network office on Baseline Road in Little Rock.
Entergy Arkansas has two network offices that serve Little Rock, the Baseline Network Office and the West Markham Network Office.
“We have been leasing the Baseline Network Office, but we needed to do some renovations there so we bought it back,” said Kerri Case, an Entergy Arkansas spokesman.
The Baseline office site includes 9.3 acres at 8105 Baseline Road.
In December, Entergy Arkansas paid $3.1 million to buy back the West Markham Network Office.
Entergy Arkansas also previously owned the West Markham office and sold it in a sale-lease-back arrangement. The plans were to modernize the facility.
“These two network offices needed some updating and renovations,” Case said. “We were in a lease situation with both of them so we bought them in order to be able to do that.”
There are training facilities and offices at the network offices, Case said. Entergy Arkansas’ service trucks also are stationed there, Case said.
Entergy Arkansas has 27 network offices across the state, Case said.
