The Walk on Union, a mixed-use smart development formerly known as Union Row, announced the addition of two new partners as progress continues on the project. Allworld Project Management is now on board to lead coordination and logistics, while Flintco joins the team as lead general contractor on the $367 million phase 1.
“This one-of-a-kind smart development will transform this community and beyond through improvements to employment offerings, community solutions, diverse partnerships, and sustainability efforts,” says Michael Hooks Jr., the owner and CEO of Allworld Project Management. “I am thrilled that our team can apply our passion and talents to support the revitalization of this great city through the development of The Walk.”
Construction had originally been slated to begin in the final quarter of 2020, but delays from the COVID-19 pandemic pushed back the start. Developer Kevin Adams filed a permit to begin construction in April of this year for a seven-story building hosting with more than 20,000 available square feet of retail space, and over 400 apartments. The Walk on Union’s development agreement predicts the entire project to be completed by Q4 of 2023.
“The Walk represents an incredible opportunity for the city of Memphis, and I say that not only with an eye to strategic construction but also as a Memphis resident myself,” says Tim Weatherford, president of Flintco’s southeast region. “Flintco is proud to lead construction efforts for this incredible development, which will not only elevate the city for those here now, but for generations to come.”
The project, formerly titled Union Row, was renamed The Walk on Union to signify a renewed focus on the development’s walkability and its boon to pedestrian traffic in Downtown Memphis.
