East Ridge, Tenn. — Urban Story Ventures will redevelop a 160,000-square-foot retail center located in East Ridge, roughly 10 miles outside Chattanooga. The developer purchased the property — which features a 38,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Food City, five retail outlet buildings and parking — last year. A roster of food-and-beverage, professional services and apparel retailers currently occupy a portion of the center. Plans call for a combination of renovations to existing suites, as well as new construction. Urban Story Ventures will reposition the property as a mixed-use development and plans to sign leases with retail, office and medical office tenants throughout the redevelopment.
