Chicago group renovates Brooks inn
Memphis Daily News


Quote:
A year and a half and $3.5 million of renovations into the project, the hotel has been branded a Clarion, all 245 rooms are just about renovated, the hotel restaurant has reopened and is awaiting its liquor license, and Michael and his partners plan to launch the new Clarion Cedar Hotel in May... That’s when they plan to have their liquor license and reopen the hotel lounge known as Dad’s Place, which is how many longtime Memphians identify the building. The lounge – which will again be branded Dad’s Place – is part of the history of Memphis’ lounge circuit that featured live music well into the disco era. The plan is to feature Elvis tribute artists at the reopened lounge.

Preston Lamm to fill former Pat O'Brien's on Beale Street
Memphis Business Journal


Quote:
A local restaurant group with plenty of Beale Street experience could have the former Pat O’Brien's and Ground Zero Blues Club space at 310 Beale singing a new tune by May. Beale Street veterans Preston Lamm and Bud Chittom purchased the building, equipment and furniture from 310 Beale Street Properties LLC for an undisclosed amount and plan to open a corner bar called Dancin’ Jimmy’s. The 18,897-square foot building includes a 7,749-square-foot ground floor, a 7,331-square-foot second floor and a 3,334-square-foot covered patio... Lamm is president of River City Management Group LLC, which has various restaurant concepts on Beale Street, including Rum Boogie Cafe, Pig on Beale, King’s Palace Cafe, the Absinthe Room, Beale Street Tap Room, Mr. Handy’s Blues Hall, Ugly Juanita’s Taco Shop, and Handy Bar. It also owns or operates others restaurants throughout the Mid-South such as Mesquite Chop House, Fillin' Station Grille, Spindini, Pa Pa Pia’s, and 10 Bones BBQ. Chittom, who has been involved with Blues City Cafe, Club 152, and Johnny G’s Creole Kitchen on Beale, is also heading up a group that is opening up Riverside Grille & Dockside Bar by July at Beale Street Landing.

Beale Street Landing about to spring to life
Memphis Daily News


Quote:
“It’s a multi-purpose facility. … What it is in February is not what it is in April,” Lendermon said of the 4,500-square-foot restaurant space. “It’s got to be able to shrink and grow and morph into what it needs to be for a given period of time.”... The restaurant is one of three spaces including an open area beneath the grass roof as well as a space for a gift shop in addition to a gift shop that is to be part of the restaurant. Daily excursion boats will also debut at the landing in July, with space for ticket sales and a broader market for merchandise... The dock itself will open before the restaurant with the April 27 arrival of The American Queen. The largest steamboat in the world will call Memphis its home port. The floating islands that are the access to the river at the landing are now floating in McKellar Lake, south of Downtown. Later this month, they will make the short journey north to be attached to the mooring arms at the landing.

Mitsubishi construction still on schedule, company reports
Memphis Business Journal


Quote:
“The factory designs are complete, the site is prepared and construction is well under way. The last of the 6,000 support pilings will be installed by the end of April and you will then see the building begin to rise,” Badaracco said in a statement... Should construction remain on schedule, the plant will be commissioned this fall. The 350,000-square-foot steel facility will house manufacturing implements and up to 275 employees when it begins churning out 400-ton electrical transformers.

Giant Haywood County industrial park gets new name: Memphis Regional Megasite
The Commercial Appeal


Quote:
The 1,720 acres in southwest Haywood County are being developed with the state's help as a potential site for a car manufacturer or other large industrial development. The site is located along Interstate 40, and CSX Rail connects it to four other rail systems in the Memphis area. Memphis has generated momentum in job growth by attracting such big employers recently as Electrolux and Mitsubishi Electric Power Products. Last year, Memphis and Shelby County attracted more than $1 billion in investment from private companies, Greater Memphis Chamber officials said in January. Also in January, the chamber's economic development team was awarded the 2011 "Excellence in Economic Development Award" by the National Site Selectors Guild.

The Capital Grille to join Memphis' 'steakhouse corner'
Memphis Business Journal


Quote:
East Memphis could soon be known as much for its great steaks as for its office properties. Two new national restaurant chains — The Capital Grille and Seasons 52 — are coming to the corner of Poplar Avenue and Ridgeway Road, and will be developed on the Crescent Center office building’s property by building owner Highwoods Properties Inc.

The Capital Grille would be entering a submarket with plenty of competition. Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar are on virtually the same block, while Folk’s Folly Prime Steak House is just a few minutes west. However, there is a reason all these high-end restaurants are there: You probably couldn’t place them in a better Memphis location.

The Capital Grille and Seasons 52 will be at an intersection which many office real estate professionals describe as the “Main and Main” for local businesses. It has some of the highest traffic counts and demographics in Memphis, comparable with those seen in other, larger cities. FedEx Corp. president, CEO and chairman Fred Smith, AutoZone Inc. founder J.R. ‘Pitt’ Hyde and other high-earning business professionals live in the River Oaks neighborhood within walking distance.
