185 W McLemore, Memphis, TN
75,000 SF | 9.94 Acres | Distribution Terminal
The Challenge
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Need It Now Delivers urgently needed a large-scale terminal in Memphis with significant trailer parking capacity—fast. Speed-to-market was critical, and options in the region were extremely limited, especially those with existing infrastructure in place.
SEI’s Approach
SEI Properties already owned a nearly 10-acre site at 185 W McLemore, but a portion of the property was under lease. Instead of letting that stop progress, we took action—working quickly to negotiate a relocation with the current tenant while preparing the site for a full-scale redevelopment to meet NIN’s specifications.
The Solution
Within a compressed timeline, SEI executed over $2.5 million in capital improvements, including terminal upgrades, enhanced trailer parking, and key site enhancements to support NIN’s fast-paced distribution operations. Our ability to manage tenant turnover, construction, and lease-up simultaneously was key to delivering results on schedule.
The Result
Need It Now Delivers moved in without delay—equipped with a fully customized, strategically located facility that has supported their expansion in the Memphis market. The project exemplifies SEI’s capacity to move quickly, invest decisively, and solve for complex operational needs even in high-pressure environments.
