Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Despite recent protest, another high rise is coming to downtown Knoxville.
The Knoxville-Knox County Planning Commission approved the development last week. It’s going to be on the corner of West Hill Avenue and Locust Street, extending down toward the river.
The high rise will be 18 stories with 270 apartments on top of a parking garage.
Neighbors in the area had protested the proposal for the past few months, claiming it would block their views and is against downtown design guidelines.
