 Crosstown Concourse is a mixed-use, living-in-art space, occupying the revitalized Sears-Robuck Distribution Center in Memphis, Tennessee. Following the 1927 construction of the 1.5 million square foot distribution center, Sears-Robuck immediately became a major economic engine in the city and was the region's largest employer by 1965. Unfortunately, due to decades of urban disinvestment and suburban expansion, the structure was abandoned in 1993. In 2010, a local startup arts organization conducted a study that assessed the feasibility of relocating the organization's headquarters to the building and facilitating a gradual revival, after hundreds of meetings with local civic leaders, institutions and neighbors. A group of founding partners came together to implement their vision for a vertical, mixed-use village. The partners emphasized the importance of an environmentally conscious, community-driven development that would focus on social transformation and inclusivity. They set about establishing a collective space where health, arts and educational organizations could thrive. This once-delapidated structure now holds 41 office and retail tenants, 265 apartment units, a charter high school, a YMCA, a performing arts theater, artist residency studios and has brought more than 700 employees to the neighborhood. After its grand opening in August of 2017, Crosstown Concourse earned LEED Platinum status and achieved full occupancy in less than a year.
