In 1927, this was a Sears Distribution Center. Now it's called the Crosstown Concourse! It's a lively community center. It's got housing, business, entertainment, and even the medical facilities that make you well. This was the retail industry giant in its day! When you ordered something from Sears, it mailed from here in Memphis,Tennessee. Now in 1993 it closed. Then after two decades of decay, a visionary stepped in and took over. The building became a living space. A time capsule to the past, but livable for the present. It gave the building a unique future. The building was sick, but now it's just beautiful. The exposed brick walls can be seen and overlap the new safety features to make it have the original design and feel. The interior of this building has a 425 seat theater. That's how large this building is. Why not make it housing, arts center, and all the inclusive space that you would need for your social space and beyond. When in Memphis, Tennessee they are keeping the memories of the past still alive for all to see and remember! read more

There is always something to do at Crosstown! Very fun, and lots of neat businesses to check out inside. I love their art galleries, if they are open (limited hours). They recently changed their parking system and now have cameras that take your license plate, and it is no longer free unless you are visiting a specific business after 6pm, which is the reason they get 4 stars, and not 5. They have some neat events and it is a cool place for kids to explore during the day, especially when it is hot outside. They got everything from housing, to dining, to entertainment, to fitness/wellness. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

I definitely recommend going to this area if you are in Memphis! Sadly most of the stores were closed due to the holiday when I visited but there are dining options, a free art exhibit and cool free record store. The place was very clean and I felt very safe. There is parking across the street and a security guard at the entrance. read more

Exploring Crosstown Concourse is a great way to blow an afternoon! My wife and I have gotten lost inside the back hallways and upper floors on several occasions. It's like an indoor hike with no trailheads or markers. You just keep meandering and going through doors until you hit the seemingly inevitable dead end. We have ended up in some strange places and felt we should turn back on a couple of occasions. Press on, you may actually make it to the roof and hang out with Melania. Now, I am no historian but I believe that this place was originally built by John Overton in 1824 with his merry band of Umpa-Loompas. They had rescued the Bluff City from savages just a mere five years before and needed a temple to honor that feat. Here lies that temple! It's held up amazingly well for such an old building. 200 years man! That is a long time. Those damn little guys are bad asses. After that, Sears took it over in the late 1960's and ran their business in the ground sometime in the early 2000's. It sat empty for a while until some major area gentrification occurred in the mid 2010's. Don't fact check me on this, but I think Donald Trump has the whole upstairs as his place. Secret dudes don't want you to know this... Anyway enough history lessons.... I love the shops here! You can eat all kinds of different foods. You can see art! You can see history. You can listen to music. You can buy beautiful flowers. It's just a great place! You can even get some killer chicken tenders and wings at this place called Abners Chicken. Abner came over with the Mayflower, and his chicken tender breading recipe has stood the test of time and is just to die for! That Abners sauce is damn tasty. I cannot wait to get lost here again! Oh yea.... There is a brewery in the back of the place that gives you free beer if you mention Umpa-Loompas! Win '24 - 100/101 read more

My mom wanted to see Crosstown. She heard plenty about it but has never been. I have never been either so I took her today. There is a free parking garage on the premise. The parking is tight but there is plenty of parking. The venue is bigger than I expected. There are apartments on the top floors. The bottom floors have different restaurants and venues. They even have event spaces that they used for graduations. We walked around to look at the different venues and decided to eat at Abners. This is a pretty nice place. read more

They had Crafts and Drafts Holiday Market this past weekend and due to the rain it was held inside. This was my 2nd visit to Crosstown Concourse and I really enjoyed it. There were tons of local vendors with a variety of items that would make great gifts. Some of the restaurants also had specials going on for the occasion. The event was free and family and dog friendly. Mr and Mrs Clause even made an appearance for the kiddos but no reindeer just their dog. It was a cool way to spend the day, you had art, food, beer, shopping and music. What else would one need? read more

Among the most inspiring places I've ever visited. A place that was once an abandoned, and derelict "Sears" catalog distribution center... transformed into a dynamic community, gathering place, full of shops, restaurants, an art gallery, a concert hall, a school, health and wellness locations, residential housing...re-built from the ground up reminiscent of the mythical story of the Phoenix rising from ashes. Crosstown concourse is an inspiring and awe inspiring place. It was a privilege to have enjoyed just a little bit of this awesome community. read more

Parking is plentiful between the street, garage, paid on-site and adjoining brewery. Service is pretty standard and employees certainly don't mind assisting at all. I'll review the individual shops aside as some can be more " interesting " than others and I for one have had some vastly different experiences. There's a variety of eateries and common services such as the dentist, and optometrist available. It is one of my more remote working sites and has an ambience conducive enough while providing some favorable distractions as needed. High value visit IMO. read more

Crosstown Concourse - Christmas at Crosstown Concourse - Shopping Centers Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

If you're ever in Memphis, check out Crosstown Concourse. It's an old Sears and Roebuck building, amazingly transformed into an amazing space with literally everything. There's places to dine, a nail salon, a hair salon, a museum, and a brewery to name a few. There a parking garage, which is perfect. Oh did I mention there's also apartments at the top, they call them Parcels. This is definitely one of the coolest places I've seen in Memphis. There's 9 floors, which have offices in each floor, literally you can find anything in here. There's also a YMCA and a pain management clinic. It's super people and dog friendly!! It's a great place to meet up with friends or even just to go alone and hang out, grab a cup of coffee from French Truck Coffee, a dessert from Lucy J's Bakery and then later have lunch at Farm Burger. I even saw there was theater there!! read more

They call it Crosstown because it's so religious. They call it Concourse because a lot of ex-cons are in Memphis and they're eager to have intercourse with you, which is known as Con-course. Jk. Low key n jk. This place is pretty spectacular right down to the message which is written on the side of the parking deck which says your ass. I mean "Yours" - my voice dictation software is a perv. I think I know what that means. Yours, in this context. Is it very nice concept and it is actually realized in all the facilities that are here although they are very expensive. So I wonder how many people are actually getting free memberships to the YMCA because of how poor they are, I mean this is a poor, poor city, and expensive gym memberships don't correlate. Anyway, the parking situation here is kind of annoying and I think could have been better done, but when you have this many things in one place, that's always going to be a bit iffy. Very oddly designed, but a very excellent YMCA that people are not using enough. read more

This place is awesome !! If you are ever in Memphis this is a MUST VISIT. You can look it up online and get a better history on the building. In a nutshell, this building was a very large Sears store and distribution center. They gutted the building and modernized it. There are dozens of restaurants. There is a YMCA. And so manny other things !!! I think there are apartments too !! Lots of Art Deco. One thing that I really enjoyed were the old pictures that they took during renovation. It's so interesting to see what they have done with this building. It's not in the best part of town but there is a well policed very large parking building that provides ample free parking for the building. I can't wait to come back to Memphis and visit this building again. It had so much to offer.. What a great renovation !!! read more

This was my first time visiting. I was very impressed with everything about it! They have several stores, eateries, businesses, and more. The lay out is cool and it is pretty hard to get lost. They have good parking. Therefore, it is not an inconvenience going there. You can you use the garage or the parking lot. While there, I stopped by The Juice Bar and they had great service. Cool Place! read more

I love what has been done with the old Sears building. I can remember going there as a child, but today was my first visit and it brought back memories. They have before and after photos of the space on the walls. The artwork in this place is beautiful and colorful. I love that Church Health Center has expanded and is still thriving! For those that live in the building it's one stop shopping just about, grocery store, food, pharmacy, etc. There are some local restaurants/favorites (Mempops, Global Cafe, Farm burger I think it is, pop a roos popcorn and more) and that's always a plus! It wasn't crowded today, but I've been told that events are held there and that's the best time to go. So check the website for upcoming events or don't either way I think a leisurely stroll through the space and people watching can also be the thing to do. I for one will return when I see events that interest me, but until then, I am glad I got the opportunity to visit. read more

This place is so cool. I had no idea that the old Sears building was being converted into this incredible space for businesses, restaurants, shops, medical offices, art exhibits, places to chill....etc, There's a fairly large parking garage right across from several entrances and the indoor space was cool and comfortable (on an insanely hot day in May). I did notice a couple of ice cream shops and places that serve cold beverages (adult and otherwise), so it's a great escape from the heat. It's a cavernous space and is continuing to bring in new investors. I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses in the future. read more

Super fun place just to walk around, look at some small local businesses, and study at by yourself or with a group. Free wifi and free 2hr parking too. I always grab ice cream at Area 51 or a popsicle at Mempops whenever I'm here. If anyone's wondering, it closes at 10pm (when security starts coming around & telling people to leave). read more

Crosstown Concourse is a unique, modern complex containing business offices, stores, restaurants, and more! We wandered around Crosstown Concourse for an hour or so this past weekend when we were in Memphis to visit my brother in law. We stopped in a small local art market, where we bought a few presents for the holidays. After that we wandered through several other shops and pop up shops before we went to Crosstown Arts. Crosstown Arts is a free gallery that had some really interesting pieces when we visited. So if you're looking for a place where you can wander around, grab a coffee or beer, grab a bite to eat, see some art for free, or do some shopping, check out Crosstown Concourse. It's modern and cool, and we had a great time exploring! read more

Parking sucks! I'm too tall for the garage and had to park about 1/4 mile away. If I had a handicapped placard, I'd have plenty of spots to choose from. If I were pulling a trailer, I wouldn't be able to park at all. It was nice to check out the building and see it thriving with people and commerce. I've loved this building and I'm glad to see it get revitalized instead of destroyed. It's a Memphis icon. Construction is still ongoing. There's still lots to do. I especially liked the construction pictures that line the hallways. I'll share some pics. read more

Boomers who grew up in Memphis have fond memories of the iconic Sears Roebuck & Co. superstore built in 1927. Today they stand in awe as they take in the transformation. A stunning revitalization of a gargantuan white elephant that stood empty for decades. Multipurpose is an understatement. The number of amenities housed under one roof is astounding. You must go in & experience the Crosstown Concourse. Make it a Lunch stop, there are several good choices. I've been there 3 times since the August Grand Opening, & enjoyed the meals & ambiance. Plan to stay & stroll for a while, as there is much to take in. The towering building now encompasses 1.5 Million square feet. My hat is off to the development, design, engineering, & construction teams that brought this amazing project to fruition. Truly a shining star on the Memphis landscape. read more

Well, here comes the neighborhood. Still not 100% sure I understand this Chelsea Market meets Memphis. Why are so many people wearing scrubs? Apparently Crosstown Concourse is home to multiple medical and dental practices. Genius! If this was entirely retail it would be dead in a year. I cannot believe what they have done with this property, amazing what a little hard work, vision (and $200 million dollars) can do! Love the preservation of the original building design (and parking structure almost completely preserved) quirky touches of color and art, and good security in a part of town still a little bit "watch your back after dark". This place is grand. I cannot wait until the brewery and theater are completed! SO many good businesses already in operation (will review them individually). Check it out! (BTW it is convenient to downtown, Wiseacre Brewery, Overton Park, everything. . .) Approved! read more

Carnival Memphis had our annual Krews for Kids fundraiser event here in the two lobby's/atriums. I have to say the place looks really amazing. At the time I write this there's still a lot to finish up but they seem to making great progress even though the entire building isn't technically finished. There's a lot of high tech security with lots of cameras and a full time security presence. They even have a really cool area where they have tv monitors showing all the different cameras and camera angles. They are currently offering tours and I plan on going on one to hear more about the building. I'll be sure to take some more photos once I've gone on the tour. I'll definitely be back once they finish in August. They already have a residential side but apparently there will be a cooking school, restaurants, and shops. read more

The restaurants, MEH. Some of the stores, MEH. But the architecture, the atmosphere, but building. My grandmothers house was on N. Parkway just around the corner. I threw rocks at the windows when it was empty. I went in the basement when Sears was open, multi level department store then, how cool it was. To see that it is alive today in another version is a credit to those involved. read more

The location is beautiful however fair warning the security is terrible and within the 2 hour time span we were enjoying our dinner 7 vehicles were broken into including our own. This is absolutely ridiculous that with 2 patrolling vehicles and more than 5 security officers this is an occurrence. As beautiful as this place is it is not worth this safety issue. read more

Great construction. The staff inside is very helpful. The parking attendants are a diffaren't story. We parked in a 2 hour parking space. We were going to Church Health and the doctor was late so we were over our time. We accept accountability for that. But why, if you are putting a tow away sticker on a car, does it have to be placed on the glass window and not on the door? It seems a little extreme to me. I really think they need to reevaluate this policy because it doesn't attract customers to the newly renovated multi urbanplex if the parking attendants are this unprofessional. read more

This structure is the most impressive piece of urban architecture I have ever seen in Memphis, and frankly I cannot think of anything more impressive along the lines of a repurposed building anywhere. I was so impressed by the space, how the space is used, touches like wood paneling in the elevators and along some walls, the skylights. add to this a real array of shops, from ice cream to local grown produce, and tons of space given over to the arts. in addition the church health center is located here, along with an affiliated ymca; there is a temple, a space for local universities, teach for America, and so on and on. others seemed to agree as the place was hoppin' on a Tuesday morning; a parking structure and the several lots where parking is set aside were almost full. crosstown concourse is worth the trip. read more
