New Knoxville developments (2013)

[UTgrad09 3578]

It's been hard for me to find what has been going on in Knoxville (aside from some UT projects). Thankfully someone from another site tuned me in to a few of the newer proposals and developments. While Knoxville isn't experiencing the type of building boom Nashville is having, there does seem to be a decent bit going on...as well as some promising signs of life in the urban development realm.

 

 

'Marble Alley' a 238 unit apartment project near Central, State, and Commerce downtown just a few blocks from the Old City.

Five different proposals for the former Supreme Court site at Henley and Cumberland (across Henley from the convention center).

 

The city evaluation committee favors this $84 million proposal, which includes a hotel with 75 suites and 95 rooms, 201 condos, a restaurant, and retail.

 

 

Second place is a $30 million project developed by BNA Associates with 228 apartments and 15,000 sq ft of retail.

Hopefully I can post stuff with more regularity. Any potential Knoxville lurkers are more than welcome to post updates.

Great to hear that Knoxville is alive and kicking!  Thanks for the update!

Thanks! I love seeing updates about Knoxville! I usually only pay attention to the stuff with UT since I went there, so it is nice to hear about projects outside of the campus.

The Baptist Hospital redevelopment is making progress. The developer has officially purchased the property as of yesterday! Really exciting news for South Knoxville and the River Walk.
