Council Fire - Chattanooga, TN
Completed in 1992
Scope
$25,000,000 investment
Council Fire is a residential community interwoven with a 7,000 yard Bob Cupp golf course that has played host to PGA Tour and Seniors events. Opened in 1992, Council Fire was developed by the KPH Principles. The development offers sites for single-family homes, town homes and carriage homes.
Significance
Golf course developments always pose the delicate balance between public space and private residential space, but Council Fire's location - straddling the Tennessee-Georgia state line - presented unique challenges, among them dealing with separate governmental bodies and their agencies and separate utilities. Since its inception, though, Council Fire has seen more than $100,000,000 in new home construction and spurred development of three additional luxury subdivisions nearby.
