Description:

Hunt Ventures develops real estate properties in Northwest Arkansas with its portfolio including office, retail, dining, and residential spaces. The firm was founded by J.B. Hunt and is now carried on by his wife, Johnelle Hunt (estimated net worth of $4.6 billion according to Forbes). Hunt founded J.B. Hunt Transport Services, the largest publicly owned trucking company in the US. He was known throughout his life for his generosity and was famous for carrying around a money clip containing $100 bills, which he would hand out to people he felt could use the money. Hunt Ventures also offers property management services ranging from finding and screening tenants to maintaining the property, collecting rent, and handling various issues. The 1,200,000-square-foot Pinnacle Hills Promenade outdoor shopping center was a partnership of Hunt Ventures and a Chicago group in 2005. The area now has over 100 retail shops and 15 restaurants, which has led to further growth in the west end of Rogers. Hunt Ventures also donated the land for the Walmart Amphitheater. They have constructed multiple office towers, Pinnacle Heights (a $150 million mixed use development)
