Developer adds to East Bank hotel plan

The design has been upgraded related to a hotel project slated for an East Bank property about two blocks south of Topgolf — with the development team now to seek Metro approval.

As the Post reported in January 2022, Atlanta-based RevPAR Development and Chattanooga’s Emerge Hospitality Group are planning a Residence Inn by Marriott for the site, with an address of 206 N. First St. Via PBS EB Nashville LLC, the two affiliated entities paid $4.2 million for the 0.82-acre property, which is located adjacent to a former Goodwill Industries property and across the street from craft beer business Barrique Brewing Co.
