By The Daily Memphian Staff/ November 20, 2019 9:36 AM CT
"Of four large, mixed-use developments – One Beale, Union Row, Pinch District and Snuff District – that are planned or being built in or around Downtown, the Snuff District is the first to land a substantial office tenant.
Varsity Spirit will lease 80,000 square feet in the Uptown development, moving its headquarters from the Lenox Center in the Tennessee 385 Corridor, lead Snuff District developer William "Billy" Orgel said Wednesday."
Orgel has said the development will cost nearly $200 million when built out with more than 600 apartments, 80,000 square feet of office space, parking facilities for 800 to 900 spaces, about 50 single-family homes, 10,000 to 12,000 square feet of retail, a river walk and park area.
"The development plan includes a site for a possible hotel.
Among the goals for the Snuff District is to finally connect Uptown to the Wolf River Harbor. Fences, the CN Railroad and overgrowth have long blocked residents of the mixed-income neighborhood from enjoying the water’s edge."
