I'll post about Knoxville. Our company is based out of Greenville SC and we marketed and sold phase 2 of Museum Bluffs in Downtown Chattanooga. We recently sold out The Candy Factory in Downtown Knoxville. The project was a success and underscored the growing demand in Knoxville. When we were in town working on the Knoxville project, we really got the feel that there is a growing belief in the Downtown Area. The city appears to be taking all of the necessary steps to facilitate growth. I think Knoxville has all of the right elements, ie strong population, riverfront, college, to become a special place.
