Housing projects in Knoxville’s Veterans District will start construction this spring.

This includes an Overland Group LLC development that will include approximately 50 units for seniors and a Hugerich Holding LLC project that consists of a 36 unit apartment building and 20 townhouse units. Both of these projects will be on the south side of West Pleasant St. and east of Willetts Drive. Construction of a new Kwik Star gas station will also begin on the corner of Highway 14 and W Pleasant. Knoxville Planning and Zoning Administrator Nathan Parch says it will be a busy construction time in that part of town. 

“There is going to be quite a bit of activity happening in that neck of the woods this spring and into summer. Right across from Veterans Park there are going to be two new multi-family developments. Each one is going to be three stories and over 30-40 units, one focused on senior housing and the other as market rate apartments. Those will both be on the strip of land right across from the park. We also have five houses under construction right now from Origin and any other houses that may come along in that time.”

A new Kading Housing development is also scheduled  in 2025.
