Big Changes on Vance Avenue
If you have walked or driven by Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken on Vance Avenue in downtown Memphis lately, you may have noticed some construction activity next door. But what’s really happening on this iconic Memphis block?
New Life for Historic Downtown Property
The building next to Gus’s is getting a major transformation, thanks to Tom Intrator, the New York developer making a big mark on downtown. According to Commercial Appeal reporting, Intrator’s plans include the renovation of the historic property into mixed-use space. Expect features like office space, retail, dining, and possibly even more local favorites. This adds new opportunity and energy to our downtown Memphis business scene, all within steps of the Mississippi River and Beale Street.
A Win for Downtown Memphis
With mixed-use projects springing up, downtown is quickly becoming a destination for locals and visitors alike. The new development aims to build on the amazing momentum downtown has seen in recent years. More details are expected soon, and locals are eager to see how this project will infuse fresh life into an already thriving corner of Memphis.
