The Armory could be a great blue print for the CA building

FYI MSC is the acronym for Mid- South Coliseum

The soccer stadium concept would have been the highest & best use however that’s not feasible for the 901 fc owners to take on. They would have to be a part of the sports package ask along with grizzlies needed funds. Turn the warehouse into a distillery & tasting room for Big River.

Totally agree! It has the potential to be an anchor development in the edge. Its highest and best use is certainly not storage. The warehouse has sooo many potential uses and the office building is also primed for a great use. Would much rather see Shelby county Government take it over rather than see it become self storage.

Would love to see a larger gift shop in that space. Along with a Grizzlies museum celebrating the history and accomplishments of the franchise. Can’t wait for renderings to drop

https://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/news/2024/03/26/commercial-appeal-warehouse-bought-union-avenue.html This has to be stopped. It makes absolutely no sense to use the warehouse as a storage facility. A citizen petition has to be started and presented to All parties Global storage, City Council. and county commissioners. As well as edge district board

Glad to hear they got more light rail cars

Definitely mixed use, we should email if you haven’t the medical center collaborative group about advocating against a proposal like this. It’s senseless and certainly not the highest and best use of this property CA has so much potential to add to Beale st/ edge district it should never be storage space that’s a ridiculous plan and waste of building

Yes a gathering place with food truck park/ retail shops would be a nice touch

Incorporating Robert church park as a gathering place pre/ post game would be amazing as well as adding Hard Rock, even a house of Blues addition would be perfect. More retail shops would also be a nice touch to the game day experience

I think the board can certainly voice displeasure with this proposal. They can also start a petition drive from residents/ citizens against such a plan. There is a huge storage on union @ the intersection of Danny Thomas there is no need for another self storage in the edge area.

This property has so much potential for mixed use potential. A storage unit is not the highest and best use for this Gem of a property. They really need to have better vision for this property

Wouldn’t mind seeing a Hilton Conrad as the next brand. They have very nice and luxurious brands. Would definitely make a great convention hotel

Memphis will eventually land WNBA. The league is doing a slow expansion next two teams will probably be added around 2028-2030

I like that.
