The complexes up for renovation are Parkside and Mercury Court.
Phase One will replace 46 homes on the Parkside and Mercury Court properties. Phase Two will add 100 new homes to the latter property, according to the projectâs planners.
The MHAâs redevelopment proposal will closely resemble a previous plan the design team has used to update the units in Oakland Courts on North Maple Street. These plans were put into action in the spring of 2019, and redevelopment is still in progress.
McCarty Holsaple McCarty, a Knoxville-based architecture firm, is one of the design teams set to take on the project. The team has committed to the updates being made for Oakland Courts as well.
