Perhaps one of the most meaningful infusions of community building in the US South, Crosstown is a poignant collaboration of many local organizations, leading to a profoundly impactful mixed-use regional hub. A winner of numerous social, heritage, and design awards – from the 2019 AIA National Architecture award to the 2019 Ruddy Bruner Gold Medal Award, and LEED Platinum Certification – the creation of Crosstown was a local act of love.
In collaboration with LRK and SAP, this project was the realization of a facility housing a major art space, as well as retail, housing, medical, industrial, and education uses within a 1.25 million square foot historically-listed former warehouse. A truly ground-breaking ‘vertical-village’, Crosstown continues to evolve, growing and influencing local neighbourhoods and the entire City of Memphis.
Alan Boniface was principal in charge and lead designer/planner, participating in aspects of design, document production, and construction.
