Chattanooga Southside Development

[Hankster]

The development of the downtown Chattanooga Southside area is progressing and gaining momentum. A vibrant urban neighborhood is being created here. Most of the housing is moderately priced while a little is upscale. Here are some pictures I've taken that show a little of what's going on here. It's quite exciting!

This first pic is of Clark Center. The attractive older structure has been turned into retail on the bottom floor, and upscale condos on the second floor. There is an awesome coffee shop downstairs, and the condos are magnificent. I wish I had inside pics to show you.

The next pic was taken in March and shows some of the condo construction going on in the area at that time.

The next several pics show some of the neighborhood being developed in the Suothside area. Everytime I go there, there's more to see.

Here's some projects either currently under construction or about to be under construction:

Courtyards at Southside

Stanton Row Townhomes

17th and Long

The Southside. This project will break ground in August. It's going to be a beauty with an entire ground floor of retail and condos on the upper floors.

Next to the Southside, the 1300 Broad Street Office Building is under construction.

Thanks for the pics Hank. I have not seen those projects, since I usually take the U.S. 27 exit at MLK to get DT. The transformation on that side is nothing short of amazing. I hope they plan to put some balconies along the upper floors of the 17th and Long buildings (second pic of that project). If not, it will be pretty hard to get up to those units... LOL.

I think I recognize the lot where the Southside will be going... is it at the corner across from the Southside Grill? Seems like I recall that bank building going up in the last year adjacent to that property (in the backgroun of the photo). Also, do you have any shots of the St. George across from the ChooChoo? Isn't that building being rehabbed?

Looks like lots of great projects are going up in that Southside neighborhood. Good to hear most of it is moderately price too. A good mixture of medium priced housing I think can go a long way in making a neighborhood vibrant and sustainable. Got to have those price points where the younger working and professional folks can enter the market and give the neighborhood some youthful energy.

Great pics by the way too! Always enjoy getting to see your pics of the city.

Hankster, please give me an idea where these projects are? I am not sure if I know or not. The first pic looked as if it was right on the other side of the river on Market but I was not sure.

Looks great.

Here's some more Chattanooga Southside development pics which I took today:

This is a project I was not aware of that has started construction at the corner of Williams St and 16th St. It looks to be a four story project

The recently completed 17th and Long condos

Stanton Row Townhomes - Phase I nearly complete and more to follow soon

This side of DT is one of the most dramatic transitions I have seen. I remember it when I use to live there and you would not want to be walking in this area much less live there.

Notice how these projects are being built up to next to the street, giving the whole area an urban residential feel. The change here has been very dramatic of the past few years.
