Prairie Pass Celebrates New Apison Residential Community

Friday, July 31, 2009

A ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of Prairie Pass, a new residential community, is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Aug. 14 at the community entrance, located at 1029 East Brainerd Road in the Apison/Collegedale area.

The celebration is hosted by Darlene Brown, Gina Sakich and Belinda Winslett of Real Estate Partners Chattanooga, the exclusive real estate company for the new community.

The ribbon cutting will bring together local elected and Chattanooga Area Chamber officials, developers Ed and James Stephens of J&E Developers Inc., and members of the Prairie Pass builders’ team. Cutting the official ribbon will be Kristin, Jason and Landry Grace Foster, who will be the first residents of Prairie Pass.

Zoned for Apison Elementary School and the new Hamilton East Middle/High School, Prairie Pass is an architecturally planned community that melds craftsman, prairie and lodge home designs. Homes will be priced from $225,000 to $450,000 and consist of lakeside bungalows, single family homes and small luxury homes.

The community will feature an architecturally designed entrance, community clubhouse with pool, a small lake, a pergola, sidewalks, street lamps and walking trails. There are 108 home sites on 33 acres in the current and initial phase. Future development and additional community phases and amenities will be introduced on an adjacent 133-acre tract.

“Prairie Pass is architecturally unique and this master planned community will bring a fresh, new lifestyle to our region,” said Gina Sakich. “With its ideal location and zoning for Apison Elementary and the new highly respected Hamilton East Middle/High, interest in Prairie Pass has been very strong.”

“Diverse in design and price point with quaint lakeside bungalows, exquisite small luxury homes and beautiful single family homes, Prairie Pass will fill a niche in our area’s real estate market,” said Ms. Sakich. “The Prairie Pass lifestyle statement is ‘The Best Is Yet to Be’ and we at Real Estate Partners do strongly believe the best is yet to be with the realization of this vibrant new neighborhood.”

Ms. Sakich noted that anyone who purchases a home site which includes a commitment to build a primary residence may enroll his or her child in Apison Elementary or Hamilton East in the fall.
