The downtown Medical District, home to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, has attracted billions in biomedical research investment and is the city's primary growth engine for medical office and life sciences space. The Beale Street entertainment district and the revitalized Edge District generate tourism and hospitality demand, while the Crosstown Concourse adaptive reuse project has demonstrated a model for repurposing large-scale commercial buildings.
