Framing for a new commercial and retail project on North Market Street.Project: Retail storefronts in North Chattanooga
Location: 502 North Market Street at the corner of Market and Bush Streets, just north of the North Chattanooga Publix.
Developer: Pryor Bacon
Size: 6,437 square feet of space for three stores
Initial tenant: GNC store
Parking: 18 spaces
Schedule: A construction permit was granted by the city in March for work to begin on the vacant lot. GNC should open by September and the owners are looking for two other retailers to fill the rest of the single-story building.
Scope: An earlier plan to build residential condominiums above the first floor retail shops was abandoned in favor of allocating space and parking for three retail storefronts.
Appeal: "The North Shore is extremely popular right now and the Publix next door is a big draw for that shopping center," Bacon said.
