3- 23 Emory Place Knoxville, TN
A fully revitalized historic block at the edge of Downtown Knoxville, 3–23 Emory Place is a testament to thoughtful restoration and vision. When the property was first acquired, it was largely vacant, with several buildings uninhabitable.
Orel supported the transformation through a full-scale renovation, breathing new life into the block and turning it into a walkable, creative corridor that bridges Knoxville’s rich history with its vibrant future. Today, the street is fully leased to a curated mix of local businesses and energized by public art from the Knox Walls project, drawing steady foot traffic from Downtown, the Old City, and beyond.
Orel also played a key role in leasing the entire project, supporting the revitalization effort from the ground up and now representing the owner in the sale of this one-of-a-kind property.
The project includes six historic buildings, two additional lots, two residential lofts, and five commercial tenants, plus approximately 20,000 SF of garden-level space with separate alley access, perfect for future development.
With strong rental income, long-term tenants, and exceptional character, 3–23 Emory Place presents a rare opportunity to own a fully stabilized legacy asset in one of Knoxville’s most exciting urban corridors.
