A bit of Center City history
Contemporary branding for the Downtown Memphis Central Business Improvement District (CBID). The district is administered by the <a href="https://downtownmemphis.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Downtown Memphis Commission</a>, an independent agency established in 1977 as the Center City Commission and renamed in 2012; it is funded by a special assessment on commercial properties inside the CBID rather than by city or county tax dollars.
For owners, Center City is a rental-demand market. Our typical-rent figure here is built on 20 live comps, so the number is grounded rather than guessed. We price each property to its own block and screen for residents who will stay.
