ATLBrain 1 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 This project looks exactly like the Hampton Inn in Sobro Nashville. It will be six stories and sit diagonally across 4th Street from the Children's Discovery Center. It will replace an old house that is the current history center HQ. They will move to the lower floors of a 9-11 story building that will rise on the corner of 1st and Market (near the Market Street Bridge, I guess across from TGI Friday's downtown). It sounds like this hotel will have a presence on the full block from Chestnut through to Market (on the back). There will be a Jack's Alley type section of retail behind the current retail block on Market. That will be renovated. Anyway, it sounds very nice, and $20 million is a nice chunk of change in one project for Chatty. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2008/ma...ry-museum-2010/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hankster 6 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 Here's is yet another great new project for Chattanooga. This project is smaller in scale than was rumored earlier, but will be a great addition nonetheless. There has been a lot of speculation about the property at 1st and Market as well. Hopefully, this means that the project there will materialize soon. I really look forward to details on that project as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flith 1 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Unfortunately, there was no picture in the internet article. However, there was a picture in the newspaper which I saw. It's basically a carbon copy of the one in SoBro, Nashville. Since the internet article doesn't seem to open up for you, and other may have the same problem, I'm taking the liberty to post the main points of the article: Here's an image from the TimesFree Press: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smeagolsfree 7149 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 Thanks guys, You are right about it being a copy of the one in Nashville and I think the one in Nashville is a copy of one on Memphis. They sure do like the design. I hope they do more to the lobby than the one in Nashville as it is pretty plain IMO. But congrats to Chattanooga. Glad to see more development.
