André Chave (1799-1868) was a French landowner and real estate developer in Marseille.
André Chave was born in 1799.
A major landowner of agricultural fields, he became a real estate developer as the city of Marseille grew. As explained on his public bust, he developed the neighbourhood of Le Camas, and what later came to be known as the Boulevard Chave, both in the 5th arrondissement of Marseille.
He had a son, Nicolas Chave, who inherited the neighbourhood developed by his father. He commissioned architect Gaudensi Allar (1841-1904) to build a private residence on the corner of the Boulevard Chave and the Place Jean Jaurès. The architect's brother, André-Joseph Allar (1845-1926), designed a bust of his father, which is still displayed there.
He died in 1868.
