234 Warranty Deeds were recorded with a grand total value of $107.5 million. Among those were five commercial properties with transfer amounts of over $1 million
Downtown Knoxville is seeing a lot of growth with the new baseball stadium and condos being built throughout the downtown area. More property changed hands last week for condominiums being built around the stadium. RR Land LLC transferred property at 215 Florida Street and 311 Florida Street to Third Base Residential Owner LP for $3 million dollars.
The old Weigel’s on Summit Hill sold for $5.8 million. LKM Properties LP sold the station along with the 1.6 acres around it to Boghani Properties LLC. We look forward to seeing what is next for the piece of property overlooking the new baseball stadium.
714 S. Gay Street, another downtown property, was also sold last week. 714 Gay LLC purchased the building from Radius Partners LLC for $1.8 million. You’ll recognize this building, as the bottom floor is home to Knoxville Soap Candle & Gifts.
And the final commercial property was 124 S Concord Street, next to Tyson Park. This 6.2-acre property was sold by Michigan-registered Lakeshore Ventures LLC to LMP Knoxville Property Owner LLC, a Georgia LLC, for $6.65 million. This is the future home of the Mark Knoxville luxury student apartments.
The three-year comparison chart has been updated as of May 26, 2023. Warranty Deed values are coming close to those in 2021. Even with differences in numbers, real estate is still a great business in Knox County.
