5 cranes now

Photos of The Oliver and Home 2 Suites

Foundations going on great and I saw the mock up of the wall around the corner those bricks are beautiful.

Photos of the crane going up at 100 N main.

Pedestrian crosswalk at the new garage and autozone.

Framing floors 5 and 6 on the east tower and 2 on the west tower.

No they will be building a huge garage.

These developments still lack a true public walkable domain. But its a start.

I mean at $550 million im already assuming they are going to build a new arena. That is just a ridiculous cost for a renovation.

There is no money and not enough game attendance for a soccer stadium here. So that wont happen. I thought the hotel groups had signed on this project could move forward if they built it in smaller blocks vs the entire site.

Broad avenue looking nice.

The Oliver continues...

Tower crane going up today.

If you know this site and Memphis you will understand why retail is off of central vs southern ave. Southern is not that kind of street. Also the Kroc center owns their soccer fields and the new fields next to the Sports complex are under construction they serve as part of the revenue generation for the sports and events center. There is not much added retail as that was an agreement between cooper young. They did not want this development to pull from the local neighborhood retail areas. The goal is to provide some entertainment which cooper young does not provide and leave the tourist to explore the cooper young area and patronize the existing establishments.
