Blue Crane is a real estate development and management company based in Bentonville, Arkansas and operating in Northwest Arkansas. It was founded in 2014 by Tom and Steuart Walton. In 2018 it separated from Ropeswing Hospitality Group to concentrate exclusively on real estate development. The firm acquires, develops, and manages real estate projects in four main property types: office, retail, residential, and mixed-use, with additional emphasis on parks and green space. Blue Crane is the real‐estate arm of Runway Group, which invests in real estate, outdoor recreation, hospitality and other businesses. In one of its major recent moves, Blue Crane acquired about 2,700 acres of land in and around Bella Vista and Benton County, including 54 acres in one deal along Mercy Way, plus developer’s rights for much of that land. The company is focused especially on projects that connect communities to downtown, blend life and work, support entrepreneurs, and preserve natural beauty and recreation.
