TDK Companies and Rail Gauge Partners have broken ground on Vintage Hamilton Place, a 247-unit upscale apartment community located at 2210 Gunbarrel Road. The project marks the second joint venture between the firms, following Vintage Naples, which is expected to begin leasing later this summer.

Scheduled for completion in Fall 2028, Vintage Hamilton Place will feature four elevator-serviced buildings offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences. Units will include full-size washers and dryers, hardwood-inspired flooring, quartz countertops, kitchen islands, stainless steel appliances, designer backsplashes, and screened patios or balconies. Premium finishes such as frameless glass showers with rainfall heads, pendant lighting, and custom cabinetry will distinguish the interiors.

It is at the site of a former movie theater that was demolished around 2022.

The 8.7-acre community is within walking distance of major retail and dining destinations, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Lowe’s, and Best Buy. The site offers convenient access to Interstate 75, Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport, Hamilton Place Mall, and downtown Chattanooga.

Amenities will include a clubhouse with co-working spaces, fitness center, coffee bar, and resident lounges, along with a resort-style pool, shaded cabanas, grilling areas, dog park, pet spa, and indoor bike storage.

First Horizon Bank is serving as lead lender, with Keach Investments providing equity.

“Chattanooga presents a strong opportunity to deliver a high-quality multifamily community in a walkable, high-growth corridor,” said Kent Ayer, Co-CEO and Principal of TDK Companies. “Vintage Hamilton Place will reflect our focus on design, convenience, and long-term value.”

Rail Gauge Partner Zach Schaumburg added, “This project aligns with our strategy of investing in markets with sustained growth. Chattanooga continues to stand out, and this development is positioned at the center of that momentum.”
