🚀 A New HQ

Ruby Falls has broken ground on a new 14,500-square-foot sustainable headquarters on Lookout Mountain.

Set to be completed in August 2026, the LEED Silver-certified building will feature responsibly sourced mass timber, minimal tree removal, and design elements that blend with the natural surroundings. Inside, it will include wellness-focused workspaces, a fitness center, and outdoor seating areas.

Construction begins this month, with brief traffic diversions expected on Scenic Highway near Ruby Falls. It’s one of the first mass timber projects in the Chattanooga area.
