“We’ve had multiple national brands try to lease space on The Square, and we’ve had to turn them down,” says Hill. According to Hill, these types of small, local businesses represent a taste of what’s to come for the area. Soon after, popular local favorites like Salon Haven, Ultimate Gifts, Custom Jewelry, City Hall Cheesecake, Posh Nails + Aesthetics, and Magnolia House were among the first to open shop. Slim Chickens on Getwell, which opened in July 2019, was the first business to take root in Silo Square. Although still in the early stages of the massive development, Silo Square’s charm and community have come to life in the form of several new storefronts that have opened up over the past year. The square mile of land between Tchulahoma, Nail, Goodman, and Getwell Roads that forms the face of Silo Square underwent significant construction in 2020. “All that stuff is something you just don’t see nowadays.”
STAKS SILO SQUARE WINDOWS
“You can see it in the brick detail of the buildings: the corbeling at the top and brick arches, the clad windows made just like the ones used a hundred years ago, and more,” Hill says. These little details and more have come to define Silo Square, a project that sprang to life from several drawings done by Hill on graph paper and now stands poised to add a whole new layer of architectural character to Southaven. The brick we use, for example, is a simulated old brick made of a particular size to match how they were produced in a particular time period.
There’s so many tiny elements that go into it. But I can’t recreate the very unique charm we’re going for here without going to the highest degree of detail. “It’s not cheap to do and it’s not for the faint of heart.
You just don’t see people constructing buildings with this much architectural detail anymore,” says Hill. When Silo Square developer Brian Hill decided to move forward with his plan for a pedestrian friendly community and mixed-use town square center, unlike anything Southaven has ever seen, compromise wasn’t an option. SOUTHAVEN’S NEW SILO SQUARE DEVELOPMENT PROVIDES A STYLISH NEW HOME FOR BOTH LONGTIME LOCAL FAVORITES AND ALL-NEW BUSINESSES, LUXURY LOFT APARTMENTS, AND SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
