New apartments in Medical District; Tennessee tourism sets record | Mane Street Memphis

A notable, unfinished development in Downtown's Medical District may see new life.

Developers West and Tammy Nguyen of WHT Properties LLC plan to redevelop the property at 193 Pine St. into a 28-unit apartment complex.

In 2020, the Pine Street property was originally under construction by father-son duo Frank and Clayton Kemker. The pair invested $2 million into the former Walpole Photography building, including the addition of a third floor.
