FedEx Express World Hub

FedEx Express World Hub in Memphis is the largest air cargo facility in the world and the backbone of the region’s economy. Operating 24 hours a day, this state-of-the-art logistics center handles millions of packages nightly, connecting more than 220 countries and territories. As FedEx’s global headquarters and primary distribution hub, the company employs over 30,000 people in the Memphis area and supports tens of thousands more through its extensive network of suppliers, contractors, and logistics partners. Its presence has firmly established Memphis as “America’s Distribution Center” and one of the nation’s most important logistics markets.

For real estate investors, FedEx’s massive operations provide a foundation of economic stability, job security, and sustained housing demand. The workforce tied to FedEx spans a wide range of professional and technical roles, generating steady rental demand across nearby submarkets including Olive Branch, Horn Lake, Southaven, and Byhalia. These communities, where Meridian builds and manages new turnkey rental properties, directly benefit from proximity to the airport and the FedEx campus. The strong, diversified employment base anchored by FedEx helps ensure consistent occupancy and reliable rent growth in the surrounding housing markets.

FedEx continues to invest heavily in Memphis, with recent facility upgrades, advanced automation systems, and infrastructure improvements designed to increase efficiency and sustainability. The company’s ongoing modernization of its air operations and regional logistics network reinforces the Memphis area’s global competitiveness and long-term economic strength. For investors, the stability and growth generated by FedEx translate to durable rental demand, increasing property values, and strong market performance. Its impact on employment, commerce, and transportation helps sustain one of the most resilient and opportunity-rich real estate markets in the country.
