Arkansas Osteopractic Thrives in Breckenridge Village

Posted on 03/01/21

In October of 2019, physical therapist Ben Milholen opened Arkansas Osteopractic in Breckenridge Village at the corner of N. Rodney Parham and Interstate 430. After four short months, and working through the challenging ups and downs of starting a new business, Milholen had surpassed his plan for growth — and then the pandemic hit. His practice was essentially shut down for two months and he found himself starting over six months after opening. “However, once things got going again, they really took off,” said Milholen. Arkansas Osteopractic now manages a full schedule of patients every day and Milhollen, pending approval, is looking to add therapists representing multiple therapy disciplines to the practice.

Milholen, a graduate of the University of Central Arkansas’s DPT program, has been a practicing physical therapist since 2011. Prior to opening his practice, he was at CHI St. Vincent.

In January, the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy named Arkansas Osteopractic the 2020 Clinic of the Year. Milholen expressed gratitude to his patients for their support and the confidence they have in him.

The clinic offers a wide range of services from electrical stimulation to therapeutic and functional exercises. “ … the clinic is evolving into more than what I had imagined … ,” said Milholen.

Kelley Commercial Partners congratulates Ben Milholen for his tenacity and success during a challenging time. Arkansas Osteopractic is located at 10301 N. Rodney Parham, Suite B-3 in Little Rock and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. A full list of services and pricing are available on the website. Call (501) 615-8046 to schedule an appointment.

Advantages of consulting with a tenant broker

Posted on 01/21/21

When you’re searching for office, retail, warehouse, or any other type of commercial real estate space to lease, finding the right property to match your needs can feel a bit overwhelming, which is why contacting a knowledgeable tenant broker is the best place to start. Tenant brokers understand current market trends and are equipped with the tools and knowledge to successfully guide you through the leasing process from start to finish.

Kelley Commercial Partners’ tenant brokers have the expertise to make your search for space less daunting. They have the latest information about market conditions and space availability to help narrow your options so you can make a choice with confidence. Working with a tenant broker at Kelley Commercial Partners means you have an expert on your side who can not only save you time and energy but can also save you money.

The first step in our process is to schedule an appointment with you to discuss your specific needs. Matt Strom, a KCP agent in our Northwest office says this a crucial step because having a thorough understanding of a client’s needs helps to streamline the process of securing the right space for their business.

Once the ideal space is found, tenant brokers will help you negotiate with landlords to secure the space at the best possible price. And the best part of all? Tenant broker services are done at no cost to you! “Many clients don’t know that a tenant broker’s services are free to them,” said Strom. When a lease has been executed, tenant brokers’ fees are paid by the landlord.

At Kelley Commercial Partners our brokers have a proven history of satisfied clients. Helping our clients find the right space to meet their unique needs and meet their commercial real estate goals is our top priority. Whether you are looking to lease, buy, sell, or develop commercial real estate, our team is available to guide you through the process.
