| | TOYOTA CENTER - ULI AWARD OF EXCELLENCE WINNER |  | The Toyota Center is an eight-story, 175,000 square foot historical rehabilitation of the Wm. R. Moore Dry Goods Building, a once prominent dry goods warehouse constructed in 1913. The company closed its doors in the early 1970s, leaving the building abandoned for nearly 20 years. With years of neglect concealing its National Historic Register status, the building anchored several blocks of urban blight until its recent rehabilitation. Today as Toyota Center, it forms the gateway to eight city blocks of redevelopment that includes AutoZone Park - the 2000 Minor League Ballpark of the Year, a 400-unit urban multifamily residential development, and a new elementary school. |
