Things are looking
bright just around
the Bend.
A vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community connected to the river.
AUTHENTIC & GROUNDED
Chattanooga’s next great experience welcomes people of all ages, origins, passions, and pursuits to a 120-acre mixed use community, located at an iconic bend along the Tennessee River. A groundbreaking adaptive reuse project, the Bend reconnects people to the river, the city, and one another by design.
Inviting & Inclusive
As a walkable, vehicle-optional, and sustainable extension of downtown Chattanooga, the Bend’s diverse and inclusive mix of workspaces, retail, residential, streetscapes, recreation, entertainment, and green spaces nurtures, inspires, and captivates everyone — from educators, healthcare workers, firefighters, and professionals to trail runners, entrepreneurs, architects, and artists.
Intentional & Innovative
Like the ever-flowing river it celebrates, the Bend is a confluence of past, present, and future, building on urban design principles and thoughtful innovation to create more than just places to live and explore, but a more sustainable, connected, and vibrant Chattanooga.
