He already owned an existing retail/ office plaza on a well-traveled arterial street connecting rural areas to Athens' downtown core. Views from the front of the property featured a picturesque river valley, complete with a historic mill and waterfall, plus a backdrop of tree-covered hills, "I had a moment of epiphany when I was on the roof of the building one day, and I saw how stunning the view was from the vantage of the second story," Chamberlain said. "I knew right then I wanted to build something special there."
