by John Nelson July 3, 2018

CHATTANOOGA, TENN. — Urban Story Ventures, a Chattanooga-based commercial real estate developer and owner, is planning the redevelopment of a 112-acre site in Chattanooga’s West End district. Situated along the Tennessee River, the site houses the former Alstom turbine plant, as well as adjacent buildings and land. Preliminary plans call for Urban Story Ventures to preserve the LEED Gold-certified plant and renovate the remaining buildings and land for mixed-use, including office space, restaurants and residences. The developer is also planning a combination distillery, brewery and winery — a first for Tennessee. Urban Story Ventures recently established West End Property LLC to oversee the project. The company hopes to recruit a manufacturer to occupy the space left behind in 2016 by Alstom, a French rail transport company that sold its power and grid business lines to GE Power (NYSE: GE) in 2015. “This is the most significant resurgence of Chattanooga’s riverfront since Mayor Bob Corker implemented the 21st Century Waterfront in 2002,” says Jimmy White, principal of West End Property LLC and owner of Urban Story Ventures. “The development will create hundreds of jobs, connect people to the river and create a whole new district and destination for residents and visitors.” …
