63 building project in Collierville

[sleepy 1]

This will be very interesting if it happens, though I'm not sure Collierville will approve it. Too bad it's not proposed for downtown.

"The family business still plans ambitious developments, including a bid for a 63-building development in Collierville that will have stores, hotels, restaurants, and, of course, offices. If the development is given zoning approval by the Town of Collierville, it could transform the area, much like Clark's developments redefined East Memphis."

Is it 63 stories or 63 buildings?

Oops. Guess I didn't read the article carefully enough and posted based on the reference made by Mandrsw1 to the project being 63 stories.

If a mod wants to delete the thread, be my guest.

I hope I don't get a "63 story building" started because I read something wrong

63 stories, in the suburbs ?!? Oh, snap !

Nah, it's my fault. I should've read the article itself more closely.

If "a mod"? Not specifically me? I feel let down that any old mod would do. LOL j/k

I fixed the thread title and all should be well now. I think the subject matter is interesting and substantial enough to warrant a thread, as 63 buildings is a good project in itself, even if it is not as provactive as a 63 story tower. LOL

I don't believe that Collierville will approve this, but it would be a nice addition.

I posted this article a while back w/ rendering

They should put in a couple of townhouses or studio apartments in the area because 917,000 square feet of retail, 901,000 square feet of offices, 225 hotel rooms, 30,000 square feet of restaurants and 7,678 parking spaces seems like sprawl in disguise.

Thanks for the update. I recall that article too.

Collierville residents are fighting this so the developer wants some ideas on how to get them on his side

Too much commercial IMO. I already said what I think he should do to make the plan acceptable, how about everyone else?

Can anyone find the actual plan online?
