A new retail and event space is proposed for downtown Memphis at 18 S. Main St., a 115-year-old, three-story building located between Monroe and Madison avenues.

Private Mortgage Investments, the property owner, plans to explore opportunities for pop-up shops and event venues in the historic space.

According to the proposal, 18 S. Main offers a strong opportunity for individuals looking to establish a presence in a vibrant, culturally rich part of Memphis, supported by solid market fundamentals and a diverse audience.

The Downtown Memphis Commission’s Center Development Corp. approved a $200,000 loan for the project, which is expected to cost $590,000 in total.

What Now Memphis reached out to Clark for details about the proposed pop-ups, but he has not yet responded. This story may be updated.
