The Cotton & Merchants' Exchange Building (circa 1910) is a historic Memphis landmark that has been thoughtfully preserved during its adaptive re-use into a vibrant residential community. Soaring 19 stories above the mighty Mississippi, its elegantly arched windows and marble-mosaic floors evoke timeless grandeur and historic soul; a standing reminder of its storied past. Located in the heart of downtown Memphis, with a Walk Score of 94, every amenity is within effortless reach - public transit at the doorstep, Court Square Park just outside, and vibrant restaurants and shops steps away. This rare blend of historic elegance and modern convenience is ideal for students, medical professionals, relocating employees, and extended-stay assignments. Discover its unique character - and become part of Memphis history at the Exchange.
Sewage, Water, and Trash disposal is done by the building for a small set fixed fee, and electric is metered by unit and paid for by renter.
