East Knox Kohl’s sells for $7.2M - Knox County Register of Deeds

During the week of January 12-16, 2025, a total of 1,205 documents were presented for recording in the Register’s office. Loans recorded on trust deeds accounted for 267 of those with a cumulative value of $113.16 million. The highest value loan of the week was funded by Citizens Bank for $12.79 million. One Bank of Tennessee loaned $5.4 million, and Wesbanco Bank Inc. backed a loan of $4.55 million. The others over $1 million are below:

Property transfers recorded on warranty deeds made up 195 instruments with a total value of $ 124.42 million. Twenty-six of those deeds were for property transfers worth $1 million or more! Included in those were seven commercial properties.

The most expensive sale of the week is a property that just changed hands back in November. CI Knoxville W LLC purchased the former Buddy Gregg property just two short months ago for $13.26 million. Last week Limestone Creek LLC purchased those five parcels on Snyder Road for $15.05 million.

The Kohl’s Department Store in East Knoxville was another high-value sale. FRC Genesis Fundsub V LLC sold the store at 5312 Washington Pike to 5312 Knoxville LLC for $7.2 million.

In the third most expensive property transfer, a private trust sold the building at 5900 Weisbrook Lane, which is just off E. Weisgarber Road. HBC Partners II purchased the property currently occupied by Read Window Products for $4.4 million.

The Reserve at Three Ridges, a rental townhome community in East Knoxville, is also increasing in size. DR Horton Inc. transferred 29 lots to DHIR-Knoxville I LLC (another DR Horton entity) for $2.27 million.

In West Knoxville, just off Westland Drive, Holston Gases Inc. sold three parcels it recently purchased in July 2025. Worley Builders Inc. completed the purchase for $1.35 million. I would expect to see new construction soon. Another neighborhood will soon be created on Couch Mill Road in West Knoxville, where 60 acres have changed hands.
