The Museum Bluffs Condominiums “overlooking the majestic Tennessee River and surrounded by Hunter Museum, the Tennessee Aquarium and Chattanooga Arts District” is under construction with occupancy scheduled for this fall, according to Windsor/Aughtry Company, a diversified real estate development firm.
According to Darlene Brown, with RealtyCenter GMAC, which is marketing the property, almost the entire first phase, with 27 high-end residential units, has been sold. Only six units remain ranging in price from $649,000 to $1,650,000.
Said Ms. Brown, Museum Bluffs is the “definitive statement in downtown living” and has “elevated daily living to a rarified art form with the swirling watercolors of the Tennessee River at your back door and the Hunter Museum and Chattanooga’s eclectic Art District as your next door neighbor.
Construction by EMJ Corporation of Chattanooga began in July 2005. The first phase will include a limited amount of commercial space. The second phase of the development, said Windsor/Aughtry, will include 110 mid-price residential units and additional commercial space.
The development company, based in Greenville, S.C., said the second phase will be marketed through an auction process to be conducted this spring with construction to begin soon after and occupancy scheduled for 2007. The second phase will be wrapped around a parking garage overlooking a new city park with commercial spaces on the ground level, the company said.
Museum bluffs is designed by David Furman Architecture of Charlotte, N.C.
The units in the first phase still available, said Ms. Brown, range from about 1,900 square feet to over 3,600 square feet featuring central electric heating and cooling, dishwasher, disposal, electric water heater and gas logs fireplace in the living room, separate dining room and eat-in kitchen.
