North Memphis Industrial Park.
Renovation Improvements and Enhancements

It’s no secret that North Memphis Industrial Park capitalizes on Memphis’ strategic geographical location as one of America’s largest distribution centers. Home to the largest cargo airport in the world and the fourth busiest inland port in the United States, Memphis is positioned at the center of North American commerce.

Phillip Belz, a developer with the foresight to meet the city’s growing need for large-scale industrial warehousing, recognized an opportunity to attract tenants to what was quickly becoming an unrivaled hub for transportation and distribution. In the late 1930s, Belz purchased a piece of prime real-estate in the North Memphis area in hopes of affording businesses the economical and logistical advantages of a thriving business district.

In November of 1998, Belz completed a 14-month long renovation on a four-acre site located at 653-655 Corrine St. in North Memphis Industrial Park. Nearly 100,000 square feet of the older building was removed. Renovations included the addition of seven new 8’X10’ dock-high overhead doors with a 4-foot-wide continuous canopy, one 10’X10’ grade-level overhead door, and new heavy duty asphalt paving in a 250-foot-deep fenced truck concourse and trailer parking area—ideal for someone needing extra parking for truck trailers for automobiles

In addition to the amenities provided by recent renovations, tenants who take advantage of this 67,078-square-foot facility in North Memphis Industrial Park can also enjoy advantages such as affordable lease rates, easy transport access and a growing, rejuvenated North Memphis business community. With more than 43 percent of the U.S. population within a single day’s drive of Memphis, it is only natural that businesses would seek to locate in the North Memphis area.

For leasing opportunities at 653-655 Corrine St., contact Belz Enterprises’ asset manager John Dozier at 901.260.7400.

As a leader in real estate development, Belz Enterprises understands the advantages of North Memphis Industrial Park and strives to make them available to companies locating in this prosperous business area.
