Hotel building planned for East Bank sees height reduced

A major height reduction is planned for a hotel building slated for an East Bank property located about four blocks south of the future Oracle Inc. campus.

As the Post reported in June 23, 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. Originally, the hotel structure was to have risen 15 floors and offered 235 rooms and 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, according to a multi-page document submitted to the Metro Planning Department.
