Watkins GateWatkins Gate provides a transition from the densely commercial spaces on Cleveland Avenue and the commuter traffi c of Poplar into the proposed residential and mixed -use spaces of this important crossroads area. The two Watkins Gate properties are mirror images of one another offering current retail and restaurant space on the fi rst fl oor and modern apartment living on the upper fl oors. Watkins Gate provides a welcoming entry to the walkable, urban village where a tree-lined boulevard invites residents and visitors back to the revitalized heart of Memphis.
