A Look Inside The Crosstown Concourse

A Look Inside The Crosstown Concourse

The Crosstown Concourse building is a unique piece of historic architecture, reinvented into a vertical urban village filled with art, shops, restaurants, apartments, and much, much more. You have to see this place for yourself—but here’s what to expect. But first, some fast facts.

What is the Concourse?

The Crosstown Concourse, formerly known as Sears Crosstown building, served as a distribution center for the Sears mail-order catalog from 1927 until 1993. It sat vacant until 2015, when the Crosstown Arts organization revitalized the Art Deco building into 1.1 million square foot mixed use space. Today, it’s home to Church Health Center, a YMCA, Crosstown High School, Crosstown Arts, apartments, restaurants, and businesses.

What’s Inside The Concourse Building

You can get an in-depth list of all the tenants of the Concourse on their excellent website, and anyone can explore the public areas of the building. There are several restaurants and cafes including Global Cafe, Farm Burger, Lucy J’s Bakery, Pizzeria Trasimeno, Curb Market, French Truck Coffee, Area 51 Ice Cream, Saucy Chicken, and I Love Juice Bar. 

Here’s a few more gems you’ll find inside:

I am Handicapped and need a wheelchair or walker to get around. How close to the building is the parking? And when inside what elevators do I take to get to 3rd Floor to Crosstown Back Dr. Bradley Wargo?
