KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A hilly area of downtown Knoxville may soon see a 17-story apartment building with views of the Tennessee River.
The Design Review Board will discuss the project on April 17. According to documents for that board, the building would have five stories of parking and 12 stories of apartments built in an "L-shape," near the intersections of W. Hill Avenue, Locust Street and Front Avenue — near the Henley Bridge.
That intersection is a short walk from the Neyland Greenway and Volunteer Landing Park. The Design Review Board said the parcels where the building would be built "have historically been cleared and used as occasional surface parking."
Documents for the project said amenities for residents would include a pool terrace, a club room, fitness amenities and a lobby. The board also said the project includes a cafe space on the first story of the Hill Avenue side.
"Ben Hudgins Brock Hudgins Architects" applied for the board to hear the application.
It would be named "Hill and Locust." Information about its possible cost, the possible price of rent for the apartments, and additional information was not immediately available.
