Request for Letters of Interest
Campus Tenants

The City of Memphis is requesting Letters of Interest from entities interested in occupying space in the Georgia Avenue and MLK Transition Academy facilities in the South City community.

The vision for South City is to create a community that is vibrant and sustainable with neighborhood amenities including quality housing, good schools, health resources, food options and economic development and employment opportunities. Through the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI), this core city neighborhood will be revitalized by developing new housing, redeveloping existing vacant and blighted spaces and bringing additional community assets into the neighborhood.

This redevelopment effort includes the renovation of two vacant school buildings in the South City neighborhood: MLK Transition Academy located at 620 Lauderdale and Georgia Avenue Elementary located at 690 Mississippi Boulevard. Both of these sites will be mixed-use developments that will house office, community and commercial space with the intention of creating a vibrant campus for the community.

The purpose of the Request for Letters of Interest (LOI) is to identify potential tenants to occupy space in these buildings. Businesses or organizations seeking office, community or retail space are encouraged to submit a LOI. Ideal tenants will provide services that complement the development and serve the South City community.

This Request for Letters of Interest (LOI) is available as of Wednesday, December 5, 2018 on the Division of Housing and Community Development website at http://memphishcd.org/ and on the City of Memphis website at https://memphistn.gov/business/rfps_and_rfqs by contacting the following office between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM CDT:
