Anchored by one of the nation’s top ranked Harley-Davidson
dealerships and the world’s largest retailer Walmart, Midtown is
fast becoming recognized
as a significant shopping
district. Pharmacy giants
Walgreens and CVS have
stores in the submarket
adding to the mix of
national retailers. While
chains such as IHOP, Burger King and Wendy’s have a presence, the market is hungry for full service restaurants and fast
casual dining options.

2,000 physicians, nurses and medical professionals. A
long-term master plan
of expansions and

of Midtown, are
underway. Plans include
a 60,000 square foot

lobby and a bed tower. These developments will be incorporated
into a proposed 37-acre mixed-use development envisioned to
include a hotel, multiple commercial buildings and over 300
townhomes and apartments.

with contemporary communities.
While Midtown has a
variety of well-established
neighborhoods, new
communities are under
construction or on the
drawing board.
Seaboard Square, the
City’s second HOPE VI
redevelopment initiative approved by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, is coming out of the ground.
On the site of a former public housing project, this new neighborhood creates a mixed income community of 289 new
residential units and a 5-acre tract for commercial development.
