CONDO FEATURES

* Sizes: One-bedroom studios available at 930 square feet; the largest available unit is a 1,548-square-foot penthouse

* Parking: The parking garage is in the center of the building, so it does not interfere with the view, said Darlene Brown, broker-owner of Real Estate Partners.

* Other features: Plentiful views of downtown Chattanooga, including the Hunter Museum of American Art and Walnut Street Bridge; courtyards; commercial space available near the entrance to Walnut Street Bridge. Parkview is the second phase of Museum Bluffs — Phase One was Riverside. The building, including modern fixtures and finishes, has a European feel. Features include granite countertops, tile floors, custom cabinets, hardwood floors and ceilings at least 9 feet high.

* Interesting fact: In May 2006, Windsor/Aughtry Co. and Ms. Brown’s team (then with a different company) held the first-of-its-kind auction in Chattanooga. The high-profile auction resulted in their pre-selling 75 condos, drawing commitments for more than $19 million. More than 340 people had registered for the auction, which was held at Hunter Museum. One parking spot came with each condo; additional parking spots were made available at a price of $6,000 each.
