History and Thesis

The Flatiron building was constructed in 1911 on the former multi-building site owned by S. R. Read at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Walnut Street. Flatiron was named and designed after the famous New York City structure. Flatiron was originally designed by local Chattanooga architect, C. E. Bearden. Original plans included a mixed-use design whereby the first floor and basement were office use and the upper three floors housed 27 apartments. In 1986, the Flatiron building went through a major renovation upgrade and was turned it into a single-use office complex. In 1992, TE Holdings purchased the building and has owned it for the last 29 years. The Flatiron building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service of the United States Department of Interior on July 23, 2020.

Fisher Bay and its financial partners currently have executed a Purchase and Sales Agreement with TE holdings to purchase the Flatiron building. Fisher Bay plans to renovate and restore the building back to its historic roots of mixed-use by continuing to offer commercial use on the first and basement floors and creating 15 premier finish luxury condominiums on the upper three floors.
