By The Daily Memphian Staff

Quote:
The University of Memphis will break ground on a $30 million Center for Wellness & Fitness next month adjacent to the new Hunter Harrison pedestrian cable bridge/ Alumni Mall Amphitheater and 1,140-space parking garage on Southern Avenue. The two-story, 74,000-square-foot facility is tentatively slated to open in spring 2021... The existing Student Recreation & Fitness Center will continue to operate along with the new facility, but it, too, will add several improvements, most notably the $10 million Mike Rose Natatorium, involving a complete renovation of the existing pool. The renovation will create a deeper, longer pool more conducive to lap swimming, and a new warm-water leisure pool.

And it is awesome that they shut down Beale Street for pedestrians :tup: I think Broadway in Nashville could benefit from this. Overall, I feel like Memphis does a great job with pedestrian connectivity...it was easy to walk everywhere.

Some noticed that on some days in Sept, AA was flying two of the three DCA flights on mainline aircraft(A319). Hopefully the recently announced LAX service gets extended past the Holidays.

The low costs and market potential has to make MEM attractive to a potential start up like Moxy. Kinda like the gold Southwest found in dehubbed Nashvegas and St. Louis.

Historic Uptown site to become event center
By Tom Bailey/ The Daily Memphian

Quote:
Few Memphians likely are aware of the old Tri State Iron Works building in Uptown. But its stature should grow – by up to 300 to 400 people at a time – after Billy Orgel and his partners finish a $2.5 million renovation. The 28,000-square-foot building... First- and second-floor office spaces at the building’s northwest corner, fronting Keel and Front, will be leased separately to other commercial tenants... Activating that corner is important because it adjoins the site of the future Snuff District, a $195 million mixed-use development of 550 apartments, 75,000 square feet of office space, 15,000 square feet of retail, 50 single-family homes, a river walk and park area.

Interesting. That's a topic I like to give updates on in this thread. Especially when it comes to the bolstering & expansion of the interstate & highway system in & around the city-region. Memphis had some long-neglected chokepoints, but now the massive street grid coupled with said freeway is moving traffic at astounding & increasing efficiency. We're still waiting for the I-55 @ Riverside Dr flyover and Lamar Ave./ I-22 upgrade. 20 - 25 years ago we were among the worst for traffic in a mid-sized city. Now, we have one of the shortest commute times in the nation. In whatever way you contributed to that, much thanks. :D

The Memphis Business Journal first reported in July that the used-car e-tailer was in advanced negotiations to place an industrial facility in the 217-acre Mid-America Industrial Park. The deal closed recently and will include a $40 million investment, according to a news release sent Sept. 20... The Mid-America Industrial Park is owned by the City of West Memphis and is located just northwest of the I-40/I-55 split, adjacent to the Union Pacific intermodal terminal. The online car retailer is building one of its famous car-vending machines in northeast Memphis, just north of I-40 at 7201 Appling Farms Parkway.

Revised plans for Union Row unveiled
By Tom Bailey/ The Daily Memphian

Quote:
The initial phase has been estimated to cost over $500 million. The project is designed to convert a distressed, underdeveloped 29 acres into a vibrant connection for the Beale Street entertainment district, the Medical District and the Edge neighborhood where Sun Studio draws tourists like a magnet... Adams released the latest, revised numbers for Phase 1, bounded by Union on the north, Fourth on the west, generally Gayoso on the south and Danny Thomas Boulevard on the east.

Southwest to compete on Memphis-Atlanta air service starting next March

Wasn't expecting that one. WN hasn't shown it's ATL ops much love since the Air Tran buyout. Rumor is the BNA-ATL flights going head to head with Delta haven't been stellar. I guess it means they are going for the JAX, RSW and RDU traffic mainly. I fear the TPA nonstop will be going away as a result. Direct ATL fares will get dog cheap. Sub 200 across the board for nonstop R/Ts.

I wish they'd add a second Denver daily at least during the week or a LAS/PHX flight for better connectivity to So Cal
PHX would offer the better pricing.

Pitting Memphis between a Nawlins and STL flight would be nice as well.

There's too much opportunity at the Washington Bottoms site.
I'll give it 6 months before something is proposed again.

So far downtown...

A crane at St. Jude (more soon)
A crane at One Beale.
A crane at the Clipper site. No dirt has moved, but there's one sitting there.
Convention center may get a crane with its next phase starting.
Union row starting demolition here in a month or two.
Wiseacre Brewery in construction mode.
South city construction on the 2nd phase
Some apartments near the Civil Rights museum are being constructed
Fedex Logistics HQ at old Gibson Factory

I'm sure I'm missing a few. Not including minor projects. These are what I notice driving downtown every other day.

You got me searching airport & airline codes, but good to know. Interesting take on those scenarios. I know the ATL Delta flights have been a nearly impossible nut to crack in the past because of MEM previously being a fortress hub. I hope the increased competition keeps up while prices trend down.

Nice. Good sign they should be starting construction soon.

Similar sized airports with Southwest like Omaha for example, offer up more directs than Memphis. Right now Omaha has 12 destinations with Southwest. I figure MEM would have had more by now but with the whole MAX issue, any real excess is going into their new Hawaii ops

Go Millington. Nice residential development, but look at the size of that park.

Developer plans 247 apartments, 72 homes in Shelby County suburb
By Jacob Steimer – Staff Reporter, Memphis Business Journal

Quote:
A developer, who Donald Trump has called a "fantastic man," is planning a major residential development in Millington.... with the federal government investing $30 million into a huge park nearby... The federal investment comes as part of the $60 million in disaster resiliency funds Shelby County was awarded in 2016. It is meant to prevent a repeat of the floods in 2010 and 2011 that caused $79 million in property damages in Millington.
