MEMPHIS ECONOMIC BOOM – The Digital Delta
Memphis' Core Industries of Logistics and Health Care are getting a boost from two Emerging Sectors:
· Automotive + EV Manufacturing are contributing over $10+ Billion in regional investment (Ford Motor, Daimler Paccar, Blue River Steel)
· Artificial Intelligence: xAI’s $12 Billion expansion into Memphis—backed by $20–$50 Billion in projected investment —places the city at the forefront of AI innovation. Just in May 2025, Google announced plans to expand its AI capabilities with a $10 Billion data center in West Memphis.
Over 15,000+ new jobs have already been announced across the City's core and emerging industry sectors. Suppliers who follow suit as tech companies expand their AI systems are expected to bring thousands of additional tech jobs, accelerating economic growth and creating demand for housing and a spike in rents.
In 2024, the Memphis MSA eclipsed $100 Billion for the first time in Gross Regional Product. Newly dubbed "The Digital Delta", Memphis is emerging as a strong market for multifamily investment.
