Belz Architecture to design Downtown's new City Market
Tuesday, April 20, 2010
Belz Architecture has been selected to be the designer for this new project to be located in downtown Memphis, TN.
The grocery is planned for the ground floor of Radio Center Flats, the apartment development at 66 S. Main St., where it will be in a position to capture strong business from Downtown residents and workers. It’s also not far from major landmarks like The Peabody hotel, so the owners have positioned it to be a hit among tourists and Downtown visitors, too. “It’s a much-needed store, and there’s great potential,” said Hamida Pirani Mandani, who will be a managing partner of the store along with her husband, Sunny.
The Grocery will be a small, boutique venture that provides the convenience of a major grocery. An outdoor patio and limited menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner featuring items prepared each morning will offer a reasonably priced restaurant experience. And the look of the store – which will feature tall ceiling beams and restored terazzo floors – will contribute to a cozy, neighborhood feel.
