Condo offers couple home plus investment

Condo offers couple home plus investment

For Bryan and Brooke Allen, downtown Knoxville isn’t just a place to call home – it’s also a business opportunity.

The Allens live part time in a 1,500-square-foot condo in the Fire Street Lofts at 214 Jackson Ave. Along with their 1-year-old daughter, the couple splits time between the loft and a house on Norris Lake.

But they didn’t stop with the condo where they live. Instead, the couple has joined with some partners to purchase three other downtown units – one in the Burwell building on Gay Street is nearly finished, and two are in the Cityview at Riverwalk, a project on the south waterfront across from downtown slated for completion this year.
