Peerless Mill
A 32-acre historic mill revitalization in the heart of Rossville, Georgia — 10 minutes south of downtown Chattanooga. Built in the early 1900s and now being brought back building by building, Peerless has anchor tenants, restaurants, and self-storage already operating on site while the next phases of redevelopment take shape.
Help us turn Building 25 into a brewery / distillery / taproom
The original 1910 boiler room. Column-free ground floor with 38-51 foot vaulted ceilings, a mezzanine level, historic smokestacks, and a cooling tower pond right outside the door. Visibility from McFarland Avenue.
We're prepared to white-box the building and offer a competitive TI package to the right brewery, distillery, or taproom operator. Bring a concept that fits the space and we'll structure a deal that gets it built.
Once one of the South's great mills. Now Rossville's next town center.
Built in the early 1900s, Peerless Wool Mill was one of the largest textile mills in the region. At its peak, it employed 3,000 people, produced wool blankets for U.S. soldiers in World War II, and even had its own semi-pro basketball team playing in the on-site gymnasium. Redevelopment of this 32-acre site will bring Peerless back as the community town center for Rossville and the greater Chattanooga MSA.
