The Commercial Appeal posted “Silo Square in Southaven: What restaurants, businesses are open or planned at development?” featuring Tekila Modern Mexican.

The COVID-19 pandemic has barely slowed down the Silo Square development in Southaven, with new businesses opening and even more in the works.

Ground was broken in April 2018 on the project, which is located south of Goodman Road, west of Getwell and east of Tchulahoma. When complete, the $200 million development will include hotels, apartments, houses, retail shops, restaurants and more.

Developer Brian Hill said the project should give Southaven a town square feel, similar to the Collierville Town Square.

“Other than a one-month period when COVID first started, we haven’t been able to keep up,” he said.

Here are five things to know about the Silo Square project.

What businesses are open at Silo Square?

Currently, Silo Square has four key buildings — out of 13 in the “town square” — with businesses inside open for customers. Two more buildings are planned to open in the next two months, Hill said.

Slim Chickens was the first business to open at Silo Square, welcoming its first customers in July 2019.

Since then, City Hall Cheesecake, lifestyle store Magnolia House, Custom Jewelry, Posh Nails + Aesthetics, Salon Haven, Ultimate Gifts and Silo Square Real Estate have opened.

Although construction is underway daily at the site, people are eager to shop at the stores.

“As soon as everybody started peeking back outside, I mean, this place has just been insane,” Hill said.

What businesses are coming to Silo Square?

Several more retail stores and businesses are expected to open or begin construction by the end of 2021. These include Bank3, Planters Bank, exercise program HotWorx, boutiques SoCo, Stella Ivy and Sugar & Honey, and Silo Square Dental.

Hill said residents around Silo Square are excited for more shops in Southaven and continuously ask what’s next.

What restaurants are at Silo Square?

Along with the retail shops, a string of restaurants is planned for the development with five under contract and two already in business.

Currently, City Hall Cheesecake and Slim Chickens are open. High-end Mexican restaurant Tekila and Staks Pancake Kitchen are both under construction and expected to open this year. Southern-style restaurant Georgia Blue also will open a location at Silo Square.

More restaurants are under contract at the site, but Hill said he could not disclose the names yet.

What hotels will open at Silo Square?

The Silo Square plan calls for two hotels on-site, and one is already in the works.

The Fairfield By Marriott went under contract in February and will begin construction in about four months.

It will take about a year to build the four-story hotel, Hill said.

Fairfield’s owner also has another hotel site in Silo Square under contract, but no agreements have been made yet. Hill said he could not discuss that project further.

Where can I live at Silo Square?

Houses and apartments are filling up at Silo Square, and 125,000 square feet of loft apartments and more homes are “right around the corner” from beginning construction this year, Hill said.

About 455 houses are planned for the development, with about 40 being built now, Hill said.

“We also have about 30 people on the waiting list for lots and the sections that we’re developing right now,” he said.

Residents began moving into the single-family homes last spring and now between 30-40 houses are occupied.

By the end of the year, Hill anticipates 90 homes total homes will be built and ready for living.

A pedestrian bridge equipped with an elevator linking Silo Square to Snowden Grove Park will also be ready by the fall, Hill said.

Memphis Business Journal posted “Southaven’s Silo Square attracts new restaurant, continues work on pedestrian bridge” featuring Tekila Modern Mexican.

According to Brian Hill, owner/developer of Silo Square in Southaven, the project is coming along.

They’ve got six buildings set to be finished by the end of the year, and he said, “If the phone calls keep coming in the way they’re coming in now, I’m going to say that we’re probably going to have two more town-square buildings starting by the end of the year.”

Silo Square is a $200 million, 228-acre mixed-use development, which will feature buildings with both commercial and residential purposes, hotels, single-family homes, and more.

Barry D. Maynard and Frank Dyer, VPs of brokerage at Gill Properties, are handling commercial leasing, brokerage, and out parcel ground leases and sales at Silo Square.

Hill said he had Oxford Square in mind when he designed Silo Square.

“But do it in today’s era,” he said. “Thinking about pedestrian walkability. [With] old town squares, all of the buildings were connected just one right after another. We’re building our buildings to look as if they were built one right after another. But every hundred feet, we have a pedestrian alleyway or a plaza. So our walkability of the overall development is way, way better.”

They are currently working on a pedestrian bridge, which will connect Silo Square to nearby Snowden Grove park.

“The pedestrian bridge is the missing link between the two [sites],” Hill said. “Now you’ll be able to ride a bike, and even if it’s rush hour traffic, safely cross over Getwell Road.”

One of the latest to buy an out parcel is Tekila, a high-end Mexican restaurant that will serve lunch, dinner, and even breakfast.

Hill said that Tekila is not your ordinary Mexican restaurant. This one is two stories with a wrap-around porch on the second level.

Among the announced Silo Square tenants are Slim Chicken’s, City Hall Cheesecake, Planters Bank & Trust Co., and a dental office.

Hill’s vision for Silo Square includes four to six restaurants, half a dozen boutiques, investment firms, a mortgage company, a law office — and the list goes on.

But the spot isn’t for just anyone. Maynard said that some big-name franchises have been turned away, as not really fitting into the Square’s ethos.

“We don’t just want to be a strip mall,” Maynard said. “It’s not. This is a live, work, play [environment].”
