A history-laden Chattanooga manufacturing site, the former headquarters of Buster Brown Apparel, is on the market after having held some of CHI Memorial Hospital’s operations.
The asking price is $2.45 million for the 20-acre tract off North Chamberlain Avenue that was home to one of the nation’s largest juvenile clothing makers for decades. The site includes 70,000 square feet of office space along with a warehouse.
Jonathan Campbell of Keller Williams Realty said Memorial, which was a tenant for several years, was officially out Dec. 1 from the property owned by Chattanooga entrepreneur Kirk Wurdack.
He said some nonprofits are leasing space at the East Chattanooga site, and the search is on for more tenants while the parcel is for sale.
Campbell said a call center would be a solid fit for the property. A business park, executive suites, medical, high-tech or research and development uses would work as well.
