The Allied Bank branch at the intersection Kavanaugh and Cantrell in Little Rock's Heights neighborhood took to the auction block Tuesday morning, leading off a four-day run by Blackmon Auctions of Little Rock.
Blackmon is auctioning off Allied Bank's real estate-owned assets, including branch locations in Little Rock and Van Buren and commercial property throughout northwest Arkansas.
The 1,426-SF Kavanaugh branch is appraised at $1.25 million and is the first of 23 auctions planned for Tuesday through Friday from Little Rock to Rogers that will attempt to sell Allied assets.
The $107 million-asset lender intends to liquidate a chunk of its OREO portfolio during the four-day event, Arkansas Business reported. The bank reported more than $11.1 million worth of "Other Real Estate Owned" as of March 31 (the most recent quarterly report available) and ended the first quarter with $3.2 million in nonaccrual loans secured by real estate.
