Memphis Development History

In 1998, Gary began focusing on the real estate development and renaissance of Downtown Memphis. In partnership with Steve Bryan, Jack Belz, and Henry Turley, he helped develop and broker the sale of Harbor Town Square Apartments and Island Park Apartments on Mud Island.

In 1999, he developed Harbor Town Centre, which today is one of Downtown Memphis’ premier examples of the “Live, Work, Play” lifestyle.

In 2002, Gary won Downtown’s “Historic Preservation Award” for the Hotline Lofts at 421 South Main. Hotline was a vintage 1912 heavy timber warehouse renovated into Main Street level retail and converted into fifteen loft apartments, later sold as Hotline Loft Condominiums, with the Blues Museum located on the ground floor.
