"A shift has happened in downtown development. Whereas for years we enjoyed a renaissance of older buildings converted to new, often residential, uses, we’re now firmly in an era of ground-up construction. One such development is complete, four are under construction and a couple of others have been announced. Joining that list today is Stockyard Lofts on Willow Avenue, between the Crozier (currently under construction) and James White Parkway.
The unusually shaped parcel is bounded by Willow, James White Parkway, the rear of the buildings along east Central and Jackson Avenue where a sliver extends out beside Barley’s. It is part surface parking and part Old City Stage area. Extending six stories and using as much of the parcel as is practically possible, plans include 5,000 square feet of retail space along Willow, 152 apartments and 185 on site parking spaces."

This is the 3rd major development to be announced for the Old City in the past year. The new 6 story stockyard lofts development now joins the 6 story Regas Square development and 5 story Crozier building which are all within a Mile of each other.
The Old city is going to be hard to recognize (In a positive way) over the next 5-10 years if things continue at this pace. If they can get the Smokies there once their contract runs up.. watch out. Exciting times for Knoxville.
