The Bend will apparently begin construction on some residential units on the project site. A 'sort of' reveal was made a few days ago. I'm not sure where exactly these are.

The Instagram site.

And a few of the more interesting renderings. I guess we'll see more when the curtains are pulled back.

More residential development in the South Side...   https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2023/jan/20/48-new-apartments-planned-south-chattanooga-tfp/  

I took my family to dinner on Main Street last week, and the whole area of downtown was bustling, albeit not too crowded on a chilly January night. Seeing our little downtown grow to the South, West and across the Tennessee River is quite exciting. We may not have anything tall, but we have a solid CBD.

The last undeveloped block downtown has been sold to Rise Partners, the development firm of former senator Corker. It is the next door to the EPB building and offers access to key residential and government buildings.  No plans for the property were announced.

300 new apartments, townhouses planned near future Chattanooga Lookouts stadium

January 9, 2023 at 8:03 p.m.

Staff Photo by Mike Pare / A zoning sign sits Monday on Williams Street between West 26th and 27th streets in the South Broad District. A tract is slated to hold new apartments and townhouses near the planned new Chattanooga Lookouts stadium. 

 

The project, estimated at from $60 million to $80 million, would put the planned housing in the heart of the South Broad District on a now mostly vacant tract at Williams and West 27th streets, said Allen Jones of Stone Creek Consulting in an interview.

"It's close to the new ballpark," he said after a rezoning of the 4.3-acre site for the project received the OK from the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission. "It's a new neighborhood quickly springing up."

Jones said the development will be market-rate housing, but he didn't have any rents for the planned apartments yet.

Good gosh, what neighbors! It is a vacant lot. The former rats that used to hang out there may object! I remember when you would not dare to walk to the left of the ChooChoo or into that neighborhood in front of the ChooChoo. Those folks are a little bit nuts!

The location is not that bad. Here is a slide I posted in the "Downtown' topic last November. 

On another subject, I guess this topic, Area News, is the default topic for posting about Chattanooga development.  We need to create separate forums for Chattanooga and Knoxville. You can pin topics like General Development, Broad South, Southside, etc. and posters can create individual topics on unique subjects like River Bend, New Courthouse, and Reimagining Broad Street. We need smeagolsfree's help.

Thanks MT... I really enjoy your cards, especially the ones that show the locations from the aerial vantage points.

And I agree that would be great to have for our ET city forums.

BTW, the folks from Urban Story Ventures were in Nashville last night for Robert Loopers kickoff event for City Now Next. This will replace Nashville Now Next and the next two cities he will focus on will be Chattanooga and Huntsville. There were about 250 folks at the RSVP event.

The Bend Project is the one they will be doing, and they are very serious about this it seems, and they got a lot of traction out of Roberts story. So, keep your eyes out for the City Now Next publications there.

Three new hotels going into the Hamilton Place area. A Marriott Courtyard at 7015 Shallowford. I'm interested to see what this will look like and hopefully it will replace the ratty Baymont hotel which is at the rear of the Element and Staybridge.  

Also, a Holiday Inn Express and Candlewood (dual) is under construction at thesite of the old YMCA Turner swimming complex on Shallowford.  Then a Drury where the old Presbyterian church used to be at the entrance to the REI store.

The Hamilton Place area has become a bit of a midrise hub in recent years with an Aloft, Hampton, Embassy Suites, Holiday Inn, a couple of office buildings. The ingress/egress must be improved, and some will come from the I-75 flyover exit there, but Gunbarrel needs to be widened north of Shallowford, where Waterside is being expanded.    https://batsoncookdev.com/projects/chattanooga-tn/

Work on the new concourse at the Chattanooga is halfway complete per the Chattanooga Free Press. It is a $28 million dollar project and will add 1 and ultimately 2 more TSA checkpoints to the current 2. The project will provide 3 more gates to the current 5.

Your Chattanooga based State of Confusion restaurant is great.  Here is their new Charlotte location.  I really love it and it is gaining traction only open a few weeks now. Hundreds and hundreds of new apartments are being built within walking distance of it and for sale townhomes.  It is located in lower Southend part of Charlotte south of uptown (we others call downtown)

Chattanooga apartment, retail developer to buy Eureka Foundry site on Southside

A Chattanooga development firm that has bought and built apartments, offices and other commercial projects near the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus over the past decade is shifting south with plans to buy a foundry site near downtown for its newest revitalization project.

Riverside Development announced Monday it has entered into an agreement to purchase the site of the Eureka Foundry, which is in the process of shutting down after 121 years of operation. Chris Curtis, the president of Riverside Development, said the 7.5-acre foundry site at 1601 Reggie White Blvd. could house an array of different new developments after the foundry is closed.

Southside Chattanooga hotel wins approval twice as 92-room boutique lodging planned

A proposal for a new hotel on Chattanooga's Southside has won city approval to move ahead a second time after an earlier plan to include an old building at the site was changed after the structure was ordered torn down.

A 92-room, five-level boutique hotel at East Main Street and Mitchell Avenue is slated to start going up next year with an opening in 2025, said developer Stephen Wendell of Charleston, South Carolina-based Mountain Shore Properties.

Marina with 71 boat slips planned on river near downtown Chattanooga

https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2023/aug/28/marina-with-71-boat-slips-planned-on-river-near/

Developers of a sprawling planned 70-acre waterfront residential and commercial project just outside downtown Chattanooga are proposing a new marina on the Tennessee River.

The marina is slated to hold 71 boat slips as well as pull-up side-ties for vessels, said Scott Williamson, vice president for Fletcher Bright Co., about the water amenity planned at the River's Edge at South Chick development at Amnicola Highway and Judd Road.

"It allows people access to this section of the river," Williamson said in a phone interview Monday about the project that's one of a half dozen new or planned waterfront residential developments in or near downtown.

He said the boat slips will be available to both residents and nonresidents of the proposed project where more than 900 units are planned in the complex estimated at between $400 million and $450 million when entirely built out.
