More high-priced condominiums are planned for downtown Chattanooga, but a preservation group isn’t happy that a vintage Frazier Avenue building was torn down for the project.

The condos, expected to be priced from less than $500,000 to $1.2 million, are slated for a new three-story building to go up at 14 Frazier Ave. near North Market Street, said Claudio Rondon, a partner in the development group and general contractor.

He said the ground floor is seen as holding retail, while the upper two levels will house a half dozen condos. Two-bedroom units would go for less than $500,000 while the three-bedrooms and penthouse are to be priced at upwards of $1.2 million, Rondon said.

“They’re going to be kind of modern, high-end,” he said.

The building for many years housed the MudPie Coffee House and later Hill City Pizza. Rondon said the rear was partially removed many months ago. There was a delay as the development group dealt with neighbors and worked with the city on parking, he said.
