150 Peabody Place
Memphis, TN 38103

Permit Amount: $25 million

Application Date: May 2017 

Completion: 2017

Owner: Belz Enterprises

Tenant: ServiceMaster Global Holdings

Contractor: Flintco LLC

Details: Contractor Flintco LLC has filed a $25 million building permit application for tenant infill at ServiceMaster’s new headquarters Downtown.

The permit is the latest step in the Memphis-based company’s plan to relocate its headquarters into the former Peabody Place Mall.

In March, ServiceMaster announced Flintco would head up construction and renovation efforts. ServiceMaster representatives said at the time the company will spend $35 million in renovations, with at least 20 percent going to local minority- and women-owned businesses. However, the company is expected to exceed that percentage.

Last December, Flintco was also named general contractor for the renovation of ServiceMaster’s IT Innovation Center, a 20,000-square-foot collaborative workspace that will open in June in the former Tower Records location near the Third Street entrance to Peabody Place.

Property owner Belz Enterprises handled exterior renovations and interior updates to repurpose the four-level structure into Class A office space. Once fully operational, around 1,200 employees and contract workers will occupy ServiceMaster’s headquarters by early 2018.

In addition to housing ServiceMaster’s world headquarters, Belz is setting aside 20,000 square feet in the building for retail or restaurant tenants.

Permit Amount: $400,000

Application Date: May 2017

Owner: Taylor Carruthers

Tenant: Indian Pass Raw Bar

Architect: Barry Jones

Contractor: Viktor Hall Construction

Details: Indian Pass Raw Bar, a Florida-based seafood restaurant, has filed a $400,000 building permit application with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement to open a second location at 2059 Madison Ave.

The permit calls for “alterations” to the former Chiwawa location and lists Viktor Hall Construction as the contractor and Barry Jones as the architect.

According to the Indian Pass Raw Bar of Memphis Facebook page, the restaurant was supposed to open in December 2016, but was pushed back because of difficulties in obtaining the necessary permits.

The original Indian Pass is located in Port St. Joe, Florida, and traces its history back to a commissary that opened to service a nearby turpentine operation in the early 1900s.

Currently, the roughly 3,000-square-foot restaurant space in Overton Square is owned by Taylor Carruthers and was appraised for $355,700 this year.
