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/

I found a rendering of the HIEx/Candlewood from the developer's web site. I put it on this slide.
