About the place

Memphis holds its tallest commercial high-rise in prolonged administrative limbo while municipal agencies manage structural decay and redevelopment funding.

The tower stands as the tallest high-rise in Memphis, bordering Adams Avenue, North Second Street, and North Main. Although listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building remains entirely vacant and closed to the public. Shelby County Environmental Court condemned the structure after exterior concrete began falling toward street level, alongside inoperable elevators and defective fire safety systems.

Shrinking demand for downtown commercial offices emptied the building before private hotel redevelopment plans repeatedly stalled. The Downtown Memphis Commission acquired the high-rise to clear lingering litigation and direct civic rehabilitation. Planned renovations outline lower-level retail, parking, upper-floor residential units, and a rotating rooftop restaurant, though work pauses as interior designs conclude.
