A Chattanooga developer is seeking approval to put more than a dozen new townhomes on the city’s hot North Shore with the units selling for up to $500,000 each.
Developer John Wise said Monday he has plans to put seven of the townhomes on Tremont Street and another seven up a hill behind those units on Tucker Street.
He said the units would range in size from 1,800 to 2,000 square feet and he said the project could reach $7 million.
Wise’s project moved a step closer on Monday when the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission agreed to lift a condition related to a pedestrian walkway connecting the two sets of residential units.
The City Council will have to sign off on the planning commission’s recommendation on Nov. 12. Wise said he also needs a variance from the city’s Form Based Code Committee before he begins work, which he wants to start as soon as possible.
