Indiana-based engineering and architectural firm MSKTD and Associates Inc. is handling design and construction.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, the much-anticipated Overton Square parking garage has officially opened. The 451-space carpark is owned by the City of Memphis and managed by Loeb Properties Inc.\u00a0 Designed by Looney Ricks Kiss Architects, the facility was constructed by Montgomery Martin Contractors. Republic Parking handles everyday operations, while Mid-South Security and Security One handle security infrastructure and staffing.<\/p>\n<p>The parking garage sits atop a recently built storm water retention facility, which handles Lick Creek flooding issues.\u00a0 The site was in Loeb Properties\u2019 ownership until 2012, when the City purchased it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt made sense to build a parking garage on top of the detention facility for the greater community to use, including all of the theatres and nearby businesses located outside of the Overton Square development. The marrying of the two projects was in the best interest of the citizens of Memphis,\u201d declared Loeb, senior vice president of Asset Management Carey D.
