A 200-unit apartment complex is proposed for a tract near Northgate Mall and is the latest in a flurry of new projects planned in and around the Chattanooga shopping center.

“The area is being revitalized,” said Mike Price of MAP Engineers, who’s working on the planned apartment complex.

Landowner Ken DeFoor is seeking to rezone a 4-acre vacant parcel at 2767 Northpoint Blvd. just behind the mall’s movie theaters.

Dominion Group of Knoxville plans to raise the apartment complex in a development estimated at about $20 million, said Price.
