The city of Soddy-Daisy is seeing a surge in residential development, with 100-125 new single-family residences planned for the city’s north end along Old Dayton Pike and Dayton Pike, according to City Manager Janice Cagle.
The city issued 42 new building permits for residential construction between January 2019 and mid-December, totaling around $8 million, she said.
“This will be the biggest growth time we’ve ever experienced in our city,” said Mayor Geno Shipley.
The Reese Hollow development by William Hedgecoth includes 22 home sites, with work likely to begin this spring, Cagle said.
Excavation and road construction is currently underway for developer Mark Eller’s Goose Creek subdivision, which comprises sites for 42 homes to be priced between $340,000 and $375,000. He also developed Soddy-Daisy’s now-built-out Bent Creek subdivision of 29 homes in the $400,000-$450,000 range.
