Memphis: The Nation’s Logistics Nexus

Memphis isn’t just on the map—it’s the heartbeat of American commerce. Trademarked and championed by SEI Properties, America’s Distribution Center™ captures the unparalleled connectivity, efficiency, and growth potential that only Memphis can deliver.

A Vision Trademarked by SEI

SEI Properties recognized the need for a unified identity that could amplify Memphis’s position as the logistics capital of the United States. That vision became America’s Distribution Center™—a trademarked brand developed and owned by SEI to celebrate, strengthen, and strategically position Memphis on the national stage.

By securing this trademark, SEI took a proactive role in not only developing transformative industrial spaces, but also in defining the narrative of the city itself. This initiative reflects SEI’s belief that placemaking is more than physical—it’s cultural, economic, and aspirational.

America’s Distribution Center™ is more than a tagline—it’s a call to action. It invites collaboration across public and private sectors, promotes regional pride, and gives Memphis the platform it deserves in conversations about national distribution strategy.

By aligning this brand with SEI’s own developments, strategic partnerships, and marketing efforts, we help bring visibility, credibility, and long-term investment to the region we call home.

Economic Impact & Opportunity

America’s Distribution Center™ isn’t a slogan—it’s an engine:

• Job Creation – Logistics and distribution employ more than 100,000 Mid‑Southerners, with thousands of new positions projected over the next decade.

• Investment Magnet – Billions in private capital flow into new warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and technology hubs each year.

• Community Revitalization – Strategic redevelopment of underutilized sites generates tax revenue, spurs small‑business growth, and strengthens neighborhoods.
