Northside High School opened in 1966 and closed in 2016 due to declining enrollment. Memphis-based The Works Inc. and ComCap Partners began plans to reopen the site for mixed-use after acquiring the property in 2021. The project was rebranded as Northside Square in July 2022 and held a ceremonial groundbreaking in December 2023.
The current space will have several other tenants, including Moore Tech, Lifedoc Health, Memphis Symphony Orchestra, CodeCrew, Literacy Mid-South and a satellite office for the Greater Memphis Chamber. Additionally, Northside Square will also have 42 affordable housing units on the upper floors.
