RiverFront Business District

Where Chattanooga began in 1838 is now the heart of its renaissance in the Riverfront District. Anchored by the Tennessee Aquarium, the district is a bustling center of museums, restaurants, movie theaters, stores and blossoming new residential developments on Walnut Hill. Chattanooga’s crown jewel is the 21st Century Waterfront park that includes a marina, amphitheater, and walking trails with sweeping views of the Tennessee River. The Riverfront also provides multiple gateways to the booming Northshore District, including the Walnut Street Bridge, the world’s longest pedestrian bridge.

Always an area with very low vacancy rates, retailers have typically found it difficult to find available space in the wildly popular Riverfront District. With the construction of a new state of the art Carmike movie theater on the 300 block of Broad Street, 26,000 square feet of retail will soon be available in the former Bijou movie theater space. Additionally, there is 30,000 square feet along Broad Street and 4th Street adjacent to the new theater that will be available for development.
