Background
The Emerald Knoxville, TN- The Emerald Apartments is a new multi-family residential development located in Knoxville, delivering a modern living environment designed to meet the growing demand for high-quality housing in the region.
The project consists of a 208,700-square-foot, 160-unit apartment community, featuring a mix of thoughtfully designed unit layouts supported by resident-focused amenities. The development emphasizes durability, efficiency, and long-term value while maintaining a contemporary architectural presence within the surrounding neighborhood.
Construction required detailed coordination across multiple building systems and trades to maintain schedule certainty and quality execution at scale. Careful planning and sequencing ensured efficient progress while meeting the expectations of both ownership and future residents.
The Emerald Apartments contributes to Knoxville’s expanding residential landscape by providing well-built, thoughtfully executed housing that supports continued community growth and development.
