Owner Financing-High Clearance 3AC Near Happy Holler
Large industrial building with potential for multi-family development
Marketing description
4001 Bruhin Road is a rare industrial redevelopment gem in North Knoxville, offering unmatched scale, dramatic ceiling heights, and prime interstate visibility at the base of Sharp’s Ridge directly overlooking the I-640 / I-275 interchange.
Priced at $2,000,000, this 2.97-acre site (approx. 129,367 SF) features a massive 25,316 SF building (built 1973) that a full-size Class A RV can drive straight through end-to-end. The front section provides 13–14 ft clear heights with flex/auto repair space, while the enormous rear former foundry boasts 30+ ft clear heights—one of the most impressive industrial interiors in the region. Additionally, two quality residences have been built out inside the building and can easily serve as on-site living quarters, event spaces, or professional offices.
Zoned I-MU (Industrial Mixed-Use), the property is ideal for continued industrial use, large-scale events, a destination brewery, or ground-up redevelopment into large multifamily (subject to rezoning). With minor clearing and gravel, the site can accommodate parking for over 100 vehicles.
The building has a unique combination of visibility and privacy with unparalleled interstate visibility from I-640 and I-75, providing built-in advertising opportunities, while tucked into a private pocket without immediate neighbors and with an existing gate, fence and camera security system.
Three-phase, 480V power on its own transformer is already installed.
Seller prefers owner financing: 15-year term, 20% down, interest at 2% over Wall Street prime (adjusted every 5 years), with a 10% prepayment penalty if paid off within the first 5 years.
Located just 1 mile from the booming Happy Holler district on Central Street—Knoxville’s vibrant renaissance neighborhood filled with breweries, cafes, shops, and nightlife—the site enjoys thousands of daily interchange vehicles plus quick access to downtown and Fountain City. Full utilities, 3-phase power, grade-level doors, and roll-up access are already in place. The building currently generates cash flow from compatible tenants and can deliver vacant for immediate redevelopment.
In a market hungry for unique industrial/event/brewery spaces and multifamily sites near Happy Holler’s energy, 4001 Bruhin Road delivers immediate usability and tremendous upside.
