Stuart Harris of Memphis-based Constellation Properties said on Friday his team has closed on the purchase of the historic structure at the corner of North B.B. King Boulevard and Madison Avenue. The building is a 340,000-square-foot, 29-story, Gothic Revival skyscraper that was completed in 1929... Harris has overseen the redevelopment of the nearby The Commonwealth building at 240 Madison Ave. Constellation Properties has also purchased parcels between The Commonwealth and the Sterick on Madison for future redevelopment... The recent purchase agreement also resolved outstanding issues with a ground lease, which had made taking action on the property in recent years difficult. That lease was not set to expire until 2025.

Midtown landmark could switch from office to apartments

Quote:

A development team hopes to convert the 15-story office building at 1331 Union Ave. — known for its prominent prints of George Rodrigue’s blue dogs — into a commercial mixed-use property.

Doing business as Union Crown Memphis, the team has submitted an application to the Downtown Memphis Commission’s Center City Revenue Finance Corp. for a 12-year PILOT to transform the Memphis landmark into 181 apartment units.

Built in 1965, the building includes 400 parking spaces in a four-story garage and 156,342 square feet of leasable office space in the 10 floors above.

Developers of $75M fairgrounds redevelopment project ask for PILOT

Quote:

The private, mixed-use development portion of the City of Memphis’ fairgrounds redevelopment could finally be moving ahead.

According to an application recently filed with the Downtown Memphis Commission’s Center City Revenue Finance Corp., Liberty Park could include 200 residential units, about 12,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space and a 200-room hotel.

Local developer James E. Maclin, in partnership with Maryland-based Capstone Development, is asking the CCRFC for a 15-year PILOT, or payment in lieu of taxes, with plans to spend more than $75 million on the project.

New details of the Downtown Dream Hotel design revealed

Quote:

The development team lead by Tom Intrator, doing business as 18 Main, is revealing additional design plans for its proposed Dream Hotel at 122 S. Main St.

Intrator plans to transform the former Royal Furniture Co. building into a mixed-use development featuring a Dream Hotel with seven levels of hotel rooms, three floors of apartments and ground floor restaurant space.

The update comes as the project is scheduled to go before the Downtown Memphis Commission’s Design Review Board next week. The hotel and mixed-use project is required to go before the review board because it received a 20-year PILOT in 2019 from the Center City Revenue Finance Corp.

According to a DMC staff report, the development will be a combination of adaptive reuse and new construction and will incorporate a portion of the existing building facing Main Street.

The plans also call for building a new 14-story tower on the eastern portion of the site.

Entertainment leaders tout economic impact of DeSoto County tourism

Looks like Landers Center is ready to expand.

Quote:

For the past two years, the Landers Center in Southaven has outpaced FedExForum in gross revenue and ticket sales for concerts, and DeSoto County entertainment stalwarts are optimistic the venue will continue to be an economic driver in the region.

During the Southaven Chamber of Commerce’s quarterly luncheon Wednesday, Aug. 23, Todd Mastry, CEO of the Landers Center and the BankPlus Amphitheater at Snowden Grove, touted figures compiled by concert trade publication Pollstar as a testament to the Landers Center’s impact on the county’s local economy. In 2022, the Landers Center sold a little more than 149,000 concert tickets and recorded about $10.53 million in gross revenue, according to Pollstar’s data. That same year FedExForum sold approximately 110,800 concert tickets with nearly $9 million in gross revenue.

Memphis development: From 100 N. Main to The Walk, here's what to look for in 2024

January 4, 2024

Quote:

These are the most notable projects coming in 2024 (or at least getting started). But first, let's give a shoutout to the two big ones that opened in 2023. The $40 million Downtown Mobility Center opened in August. The 960-vehicle parking garage is still seeking commercial tenants on the ground floor. Additionally, Tom Lee Park reopened in September after its $61 million remodel.

Dream Hotel & other 18 Main projects

Quote:

The ambitious 171-room Dream Hotel project at 122 S. Main St. will be delayed. In November 2023, Yoav Poni of 122 S. Main LLC submitted an extension request for the site’s special use permit with the Memphis and Shelby County Land Use Control Board. The nine-month extension would now carry over until Sept. 1, 2024, instead of Dec. 31, 2023. Plans for the Dream Hotel have largely remained the same. In August 2023, Jonathan Smith of LRK filed a construction permit with the Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development for the project. According to the construction permit, the $75 million project will total 176,883 square feet and include a hotel, restaurant and apartments. The site plan includes building a 14-story tower on top of the existing three-story structure (and former site of Royal Furniture Co.).

On a lighter note, considering the pace and scale of these developments, one might say that Memphis is "building" its way to becoming the healthcare capital, quite literally. It’s like the city decided to take the term
