Peabody Place. Downtown is where
it's at.
Peabody Place, conveniently located in the heart of vibrant
downtown Memphis, is known as the cornerstone of renaissance for the downtown
area. Surrounded by key attractions such as The Peabody Hotel, Beale Street,
Fed Ex Forum (home of the NBA Memphis Grizzlies), the Orpheum Theater and
AutoZone Park (home of the AAA Memphis Redbirds) as well as more than 80
restaurants, Peabody Place is truly in the center of it all.
The project covers eight city blocks in total, with restored historic
buildings, a 15-story modern office tower, top-notch apartments, prestigious
offices, popular restaurants and gathering places. In all, more than two
million square feet connected by skywalks, corridors and trolley stations make
Peabody Place a virtual city within a city. And with over 1.1 million residents
and over eight million visitors annually, Memphis' metropolitan area is
perfectly suited for the project - the largest mixed-use urban development in
the South.
At the heart of it all is Peabody Place
Retail & Entertainment Center. The
Center, completed in fall 2001, was designed to be reminiscent of a town
square, which was rediscovered, refurbished and topped with the largest
skylight in Tennessee to create an enclosed town square. At night, the lighting
systems create the atmosphere that the Center really is outdoors, with abundant
sidewalk cafes and other seating. The Center boasts over 300,000 square feet of leasable retail space and is directly connected to approximately 3,000 parking
spaces. It is also located immediately adjacent to the historic Peabody Hotel.
The Center is anchored by
Jillian’s, a multi-faceted
entertainment experience
including dining, video
cafe, sports bar, billiards and bowling alley.
Looking for a restaurant?
The area gives visitors so many mouth-watering
options that the hardest thing is deciding which restaurant to choose.
Texas De Brazil, a Brazilian
steakhouse offers authentic churrascaria
style dining.
Also be sure not to miss
Jillians, Bluefin, Circa By John Bragg, Encore Restaurant
and Bar, Hooters and The
Majestic Grille.
Other delicious treats
include Starbucks Coffee,
Rocky Mountain Chocolate
Factory and Maggie Moo’s Ice
Cream.
Then, get ready to shop
until you drop at some of
the coolest stores around.
GAP, GAP Kids and Baby GAP
keep everyone in step with
fashion. And there's
also Victoria’s Secret, Foot
Locker and Coco and Lilly.
With all of this fun, it’s no wonder Peabody Place
Retail & Entertainment
Center has become a major gathering point for people from all over the Memphis
area, as well as the visitors to this community. So what are you waiting for?
Downtown is where it’s at.
