First “Union Station” Developments Proposed at Former Union Avenue Police Precinct Site
New townhouses in the new gated community in the Union Station development are among the 10 new applications for this month’s Memphis Landmarks Commission (Application COA 2023-151 1925 Union Avenue – Central Gardens Historic District below).
Union Station is the site of the former Midtown precinct of the Memphis Police Department along Union Avenue. The new development resides on the block along the south side of Union Avenue and encompasses Linden Avenue at the south, east of Barksdale, adjacent to Idlewild Elementary School. EP3 Developers LLC are proposing a 10-lot, 20-unit townhouse subdivision in the space between Idlewild Elementary and the Lindenview apartment building. The south end of the new subdivision, facing Linden Avenue, falls within the Central Gardens Historic District and is subject to a design review under the Central Gardens Architectural Guidelines for new construction.
