Yeah, I wasn't too excited about this either. Definitely was looking for something more entertainment based to come there for the Edge District. I will say, this will increase traffic for this area with workers, so development could spur for retail, restaurants, apartments, and possibly a entertainment business. Could be another mixed used development near by if The Walk don't prosper. We'll have to see. I am interested in what will happen with UTHSC possibly getting that land by the current Regional One.

Does anybody have the access to what they are saying in this mixed used development for Germantown? I remember the old proposal a few years ago was called Germantown town center. https://dailymemphian.com/subscriber/article/48796/germantown-saddle-creek-area-project-arthur-property-poplar-avenue

One city that is smaller proper and metro wise is New Orleans. They have two Major Pro teams. I definitely believe Memphis is capable to support two Major league franchises in the near future.

I'm not sold on Nashville being able to support 4 major league sports at its' current size.

Yeah something in between these two would work well downtown. Hoping St Jude will keep a more mixed used development for the public. One thing about St. Jude though is whenever they plan anything, it'll happen.

Not going to lie... I really liked Intrator's vision. That looked like a bustling modern district for Memphis. I hope St Jude goes that route in a similar fashion instead of a private sector to thier campus

It would nice to have 3 more crane projects like this downtown at the Sametime. I'll post a photo of these cranes at night coming into downtown off 69 before getting off Madison. It looks good in the distance

This is great, and promising that things could get started for the The Walk and the Grand Hyatt. Carlisle got it right in the article. Memphis is at crossroads, and the potential is there, these are the kinds of projects that'll help push it forward along with the others mentioned. I hope Intrator can get the Pinch going as well. I believe he's still invested to make it happen last I read, even though he had the land for sale. Outside of the other major cities that's seeing large investment in the south (ATL, Nashville, Charlotte, Tampa, Miami, all of Texas Cities) the next up and coming cities with similar large scale projects looks like OKC with possibility getting the tallest scraper in the USA. I can see OKC being a large draw in population, job growth and investments in the next decade. Louisville, Birmingham, Huntsville, New Orleans, Raleigh, Little Rock, maybe Knoxville and Jacksonville are the others that are one the radar. I'm not sure what large scale investments are planned for these cities, I think Memphis have the greatest potential that needs to happen.

True. The density will look good from the ground still. Hell, maybe just 1 tall structure and tv rest midrises. It'll look good. Im just ready for us to finally get something tall off the ground downtown.

Well....there's still life for Pinch Project !

Another Big project dead... man the pandemic messed it up for the big projects planned downtown. I have a feeling St. Jude might buy the land to build out. I really don't want that. We need something similar to what he proposed for the downtown area. Large Hotels, Residential, and retail. https://dailymemphian.com/subscriber/section/businessreal-estate/article/42665/memphis-real-estate-intrator-selling-downtown-pinch-district-properties

If I can find it, I'll email the owner and suggest something more inspiring, because that'll be a dead zone

https://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/news/2024/02/12/owner-commercial-appeal-building-self-storage.html No no no. We need a pause on storage faculties in Memphis. I really want the owners to think outside of the box for this property.

All that gripe they gave about the Lowe's Hotel coming a couple years ago, just for them to leave? Opens the door for a new convention center hotel.

I hope so. There's so much potiental. Especially how Laurelwood across street from the Mall has redeveloped and stabilized. That area does remind me alot of Green Hills. I believe the retail and commercial market will get stronger as properties are being invested.
