How could a controversial high-rise change the look of downtown Knoxville?

The Scruffy Stuff

A proposed high-rise along the Tennessee River would be one of the first things people see when entering downtown from the south, but the design is still up for debate.

While developers have expressed to stakeholders the challenges of building on a sloped riverside site, the Design Review Board wants them to go back to the drawing board to brainstorm how the project will better benefit the public.

Growth and development reporters Ryan Wilusz and Silas Sloan discuss what must happen for this project to move forward and how a successful development could change the way people experience and interact with the western edge of downtown.
