The Sterick Building has been a stately and significant building in downtown Memphis for decades. However, that changed about 20 years ago. The building reigned as the tallest and most popular back in the 1930s-1950s, and its future is uncertain.
The Downtown Memphis Commission has made the building a focus—trying to revamp the decrepit and vacant building and to inject it with some downtown Memphis life again. Graffiti, debris, and broken windows are nothing new here. While it isn’t condemned, it isn’t available for occupancy either. Specifically, the building has been vacant since 1986.
The Memphis movers will stay tuned as developments regarding the building come to light. With 13 years left on the lease, one begs to know if remodeling will take place, or if the building will be demolished all together.
