South Waterfront Development

The City of Knoxville’s South Waterfront area along the 1
Tennessee River has been undergoing tremendous physical 2
changes during the last year, with a combination of public 3
infrastructure improvements and private investment. 4

Along the western end of the redevelopment area, projects
are quickly taking shape at the Gay Street Bridge and
Henley Bridge. These projects include new major residential
communities and a national headquarters office.

Additional public infrastructure is being planned, including
streetscape improvements, a public event space and a new
public riverwalk. When completed in summer 2019, this area
will be transformed, providing a completely new experience for
residents and visitors along the Tennessee River, just across the
bridges from what has traditionally been considered downtown
Knoxville.
1 - CITYVIEW AT RIVER WALK

CityView at River Walk condominiums are located across
the Tennessee River from University of Tennessee landmarks
Neyland Stadium and Thompson-Boling Arena. The private
residential development includes 350 feet of a publicly
accessible trail along the river. Eventually, areas of the walk
along the river will be linked, providing pedestrian access to
bridges and sidewalks.
2 - 303 FLATS

303 Flats is a six-story complex offering 138 housing units
tailored for university students. The building has structured
parking and open space adjacent to the planned public
riverwalk. Located on the west side of the Henley Bridge,
the complex was open for students to begin moving into the
residences in September 2018. To reach campus, students cross
the river using the Henley Bridge. When the public riverwalk is
completed, residents will have additional pedestrian access to
the Gay Street Bridge and Sevier Avenue.
3 - ONE RIVER WALK

One River Walk is a privately developed 303-unit apartment
complex. Adjacent areas will eventually include public
infrastructure improvements - a public event space, a public
civic plaza, a pocket park and 1,100 linear feet of riverwalk
between the Henley and Gay Street bridges. Completion of
these new public amenities is planned for summer 2019.
4 - REGAL CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS

In November 2017, Regal relocated its corporate
headquarters to Knoxville’s South Waterfront. The nine-story
178,000-square-foot building is renovated space, a former
medical office building that was part of Baptist Hospital.
Additional structures were demolished to provide room for
new private development. The building is the first office space
occupied in this area of the South Waterfront, currently serving
nearly 300 employees.

Areas on the eastern half of the South Waterfront have also
been developed and updated.
