As a caterer, investor and enthusiast for the diversity of urban life, DeDe Dubose Engsberg was an early believer in the potential of the redeveloping Main Street and downtown Chattanooga's Southside.

She and her husband, Towson, live on Main Street where they own three properties and have watched the spreading redevelopment along Main Street.

During her runs in the neighborhood, Dede Engsberg was intrigued by an abandoned factory along the Norfolk Southern rail lines a couple of blocks off of Main Street on Rossville Avenue. The factory where the Andrews Paper Box Co. once cranked out boxes has been vacant or used for metal recycling warehouse space for years, but Dede saw the potential for a new use of the property.

"I just loved these buildings and when this property went on the market (in 2016) we made an offer to buy it without having any idea what we were going to do with it," she recalled. "We definitely took the leap before we thought too hard, but we knew the great potential for this site."
