THE SITE
The New Gateway to East Knoxville
Rock Pointe Crossing, located in Knox County — just four miles from downtown Knoxville — will transform the area surrounding the junction of I-40, Highway 11 and I-75.
Rock Pointe Crossing will be a hallmark achievement in land revitalization, turning a long-abandoned industrial parcel into a vibrant business/industrial park that will redefine the entire East Knoxville gateway to the Knoxville Zoo, Chilhowee Park & Exposition Center and The Muse, Knoxville's children/student discovery center.
Rock Pointe Crossing will be constructed on a reclaimed industrial site (a former limestone quarry). The site has never been contaminated by industrial chemicals or other hazardous substances, and is not what the EPA would classify as a "brownfield." (Learn more about the site's history.)
By reinvesting in this property and making it viable once again, Rock Pointe Crossing will energize the local business community and bring new life to the northeast Knoxville corridor.
Rock Pointe Crossing is located in an extremely desirable location, with high interstate visibility and access off I-40/75 at Exit #392 (the Rutledge Pike-Knoxville Zoo exit). This site offers 25+ acres of easy-access property with more than 3,000 feet fronting I-40 and 11-W.
Zoning
The site is zoned C-6 (general commercial park district, with flexibility to zone as needed). More about the zoning and infrastructure here.
