The Chattanooga riverfront is about to look a whole lot different! Hilco Global’s Real Estate Capital division recently provided a $47.5 million loan to support the continued development of ‘The Bend,’ a major riverfront project in Chattanooga. The financing strengthens the project’s capital structure and enables the sale of individual parcels to developers while attracting new investment partners for future phases.

The Bend spans more than 100 acres and has around 3,000 feet of Tennessee River frontage near downtown Chattanooga, making it one of the region’s largest active developments. Plans call for a walkable district combining residential, office, retail, hospitality, and entertainment spaces, along with public riverfront access.

The master plan includes approximately 1,700 residential units, 1.1 million square feet of office space, 1.2 million square feet of retail, 600 hotel rooms, entertainment venues, and a 300-slip marina, supported through public-private infrastructure investment. An independent analysis projects the development could generate nearly $1 billion in investment over 30 years.
