Construction tileDespite a slight dip in new local home construction of late, builders are confident the market is growing and improving, made partially evident by over 200 new home lots up for early approval at Monday’s planning commission meeting.
The bulk of the proposed new lots are divided among three developers: Southern Land Co., Wall Construction Co. and Goodwin Southern Properties.
Southern Land Co. is seeking preliminary approval to plat out 98 lots in the Black Creek Mountain community at the foot of Aetna Mountain.
Black Creek is one of Chattanooga’s largest on-going housing developments. Nashville-based Southern Land Co. took over the project in April and announced that this new, 90-plus home section called The Ridges was the first thing on their agenda.
The company will ask planning commissioners to green light the 98-lot plat request for The Ridges at Monday’s meeting.
