on location Metro 67, Memphis Text and photography by Sean Garrison ❝ It raises the bar for modern apartment living. ❞ The word cosmopolitan evokes visions of New York, Paris, Tokyo, Memphis, wait… Memphis, really? While some may think Memphis isn’t in the same league as those other cities—the Metro 67, an apartment commu-nity in Memphis, TN, pays homage to the very defi nition of the word “cosmopolitan.” The Metro 67 apartments are located in downtown Memphis near the Mississippi river and slightly north of Beale Street, which can claim co-authorship for the style of music known as the Blues. Built in 1923, the original construction served as one of the multiple banks for the southern Cotton Exchange. The property was revitalized in 2009 and today it accom-modates 157 luxury living units managed by Memphis-based Fogelman Management Group. Metro 67 has raised the bar for modern apartment living in an ever-evolving downtown river city.
