MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Plans are on track for the planned Downtown Mobility Center.
Tuesday, the Memphis City Council approved a special use permit for the $62-million project to be located at Beale and South Main. The Downtown Memphis Commission promises the 9-story building will be more than a 1,400 space parking garage.
Meant to improve parking in Downtown, the center will feature lockers and storage for cyclists with accommodations for scooter riders and rideshare travelers. A rooftop restaurant is planned to be reached by a picturesque staircase on the building's south side.
