Chattanooga’s Next Great Experience.

A Q U I C K LO O K

• 120+/- acre site • Phase 1 broke ground in 2020 • Phase 2 slated for 2022 • To date: $180 million invested

This plan imagines a new future for a site that was the center of business and prosperity for Chattanooga for over 100 years. The future of this property is still a place for employment, but now a complete neighborhood as well. At the Bend, you can live, work, attend a concert, and enjoy the waterfront with its developing public spaces.

The Bend will help grow, care for, inspire, and connect the community through a variety of spaces.

A vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community connected to the river.

Authentic and Grounded

Intentional and Innovative

Inviting and Inclusive

Chattanooga’s next great experience welcomes people of all ages, origins, passions, and pursuits to a 120-acre mixed use community, located at an iconic bend along the Tennessee River. A groundbreaking adaptive reuse project, the Bend reconnects people to the river, the city, and one another by design.

Like the ever-flowing river it celebrates, the Bend is a confluence of past, present, and future, building on urban design principles and thoughtful innovation to create more than just places to live and explore, but a more sustainable, connected, and vibrant Chattanooga.

As a walkable, vehicle-optional, and sustainable extension of downtown Chattanooga, the Bend’s diverse and inclusive mix of workspaces, retail, residential, streetscapes, recreation, entertainment, and green spaces nurtures, inspires, and captivates everyone — from educators, healthcare workers, firefighters, and professionals to trail runners, entrepreneurs, architects, and artists.

Chattanooga, TN THE SCENIC CIT Y

Along the rolling Tennessee river stands a beloved, growing city, rooted in rich history and steeped in the natural beauty of East Tennessee. Like the river it embraces, Chattanooga is a city on the move.

Located at the crossroads of three great states, Chattanooga represents the hub of a thriving economic region full of rich culture and rustic charm.

Among the city’s advantages are abundant natural resources, a strong tourism industry, and a centralized location. The extensive system of highway, air, water, and rail transportation helps make Chattanooga a major transportation and distribution center for the Southeast.

Known to the locals as Scenic City, Gig City, or even just ‘Chatt’, this cherished city holds an abundance of unique experiences, iconic lookouts, and fresh inspiration for anyone seeking something more. Outdoor enthusiasts and thrill-seekers can access a multitude of breathtaking views and recreational activities within minutes from Chattanooga. In the heart of downtown, entrepreneurs and visionaries can find historic landmarks and opportunities to engage with the city’s culinary scene and artistic venues. Chattanooga is an open invitation to explore, and it just keeps getting better.
