LINK BROAD AVENUE - Memphis, Tennessee
CLIENT - Grubb Properties
DESCRIPTION - Link Broad Avenue is located in the historic Broad Avenue Arts District of the Binghampton community, just east of Overton Park. Grubb has built the Link apartment brand on innovation, sustainability, and connection. DT’s design of the outdoor spaces at Link Broad Avenue utilizes these founding values and draws from the diverse, eclectic, and vibrant Broad Avenue culture. This multifamily development will bring much-needed residential infill into the heart of the District to support the small business community and the growing Memphis biking culture utilizing the Hampline. The project, currently under construction, meets National Green Building Standard certification requirements, which include best practices for sustainable landscaping and irrigation. Other members of the design team include BB+M Architecture, Shapiro & Co. Architects, and Pickering Firm.
