Herman Walldorf Commercial Real Estate on Tuesday announced two tenants at Southside Centre, the redevelopment project underway at 1700 Broad St. in Chattanooga’s Southside. Dr. Charles “Chip” Crump and Dr. John Tapp, both internal medicine physicians of Parkridge Medical Group Diagnostic Center, and Dr. Michael C Patterson, DDS of Chattanooga Family Dental Center will open new offices at Southside Centre late this summer.
Operating under the umbrella of Hospital Corporation of America, Parkridge Medical Group Diagnostic Center’s Southside location will offer primary care services under Dr. Crump and Dr. Tapp. Drs. Crump and Tapp are currently practicing out of Parkridge Medical Group’s Diagnostic Center on the Parkridge Medical Center campus. In 2015, Dr. Crump was voted Chattanooga's #1 General Practice Doctor by the Chattanooga Times Free Press’s Best of the Best contest.
Dr. Patterson’s dental practice, Chattanooga Family Dental Center, renews its commitment to the Southside in a move to this new facility a few city blocks from their present location on Chestnut Street, said officials. Chattanooga Family Dental Center will continue to offer a full range of dental care for patients of all ages.
Walldorf’s Benjamin Pitts, with Jason Lehn, manages leasing at Southside Centre for developer, John Straussberger, and helped land the two tenants. “These two practices give the Southside community access to excellent health and dental care and anchor the commercial side of this project,” Mr. Straussberger said. “We want this project to be a great example of adaptive reuse for our city. This building was built as a car dealership, Hailey Chevrolet, in 1951, and then ABC Building Supply was here for a number of years, and we are turning it into a mix of high-end apartments, offices and retail.“
“Parkridge Health System continues to move forward in bringing healthcare services to growing communities in the Chattanooga market,” said Darrell Moore, president and CEO of Parkridge Health System. “The establishment of an internal medicine practice at the Southside Centre will complement the other services being offered, giving area residents access to a broader range of medical services.”
Southside Centre has about 9,000 square feet of additional available commercial space. Mr. Straussberger said they are working on getting a restaurant into part of that space. “We’re one of the last downtown commercial offerings with parking on-site,” Mr. Straussberger added.
