Description

3840 E. Magnolia Avenue offers a ±15,000 SF building on ±1.27 acres along one of Knoxville’s most historic and actively revitalizing corridors. The property sits on the eastern stretch of Magnolia Avenue between Chilhowee Park and Zoo Knoxville to the west and the historic Burlington business district to the east, with convenient access to I-40 and downtown Knoxville. East Magnolia is the focus of a coordinated, multi-year public investment effort. The City of Knoxville has invested about $9 million in modernizing Magnolia Avenue’s infrastructure, and in 2026 it approved a $3.1 million Phase 3 streetscape that brings new sidewalks, bike lanes, lighting, landscaping and transit stops further east. The corridor is part of KCDC’s Magnolia Avenue and Chilhowee Park Redevelopment Plan, which provides for tax increment financing and other incentives to encourage private reinvestment from Bertrand Street to Burlington. Next door, Burlington is getting roughly $17 million in City investment. That includes a new Knoxville Fire Department Station No. 6, the City’s first new fire station in 30 years, and a full streetscape rebuild of the neighborhood’s historic commercial district. The surrounding area draws visitors year-round. Zoo Knoxville, the city’s top attraction, sits next to the 81-acre Chilhowee Park, which the City is reinventing as a full-time public park with $2 million in capital improvements. Muse Knoxville is expanding into Chilhowee Park’s historic Jacob Building, growing to nearly 57,000 SF with support from a $25 million Clayton Family Foundation commitment. Momentum is also building westward along the corridor. The $114 million Covenant Health Park has energized the Magnolia Avenue Warehouse District and extended downtown eastward. New condominiums, historic renovations and community investments are taking shape along Magnolia. With a large building, more than an acre of land, and a position in the path of growth, 3840 E.
