Anyone driving North on Broadway has probably noticed changes to the HP Video building at 1200 North Broadway (across the street from K Brew) and wondered what was happening inside the 34-year old production institution. As of this week, Big Slate Media has set up their newest venture, Marble City Studios, inside, leasing the facility from HP Video’s owner Danny Harb with hopes to potentially purchase down the road. Marble City Studios will house the largest filming studio in Knoxville with improvements inside and out.

Hundreds have moved into Belltown homes. Apartments and townhomes are next | Exclusive
Belltown has welcomed 275 families since construction began in 2023 , with nearly 300 homes built across the 305-acre mixed-use community between Karns and Powell. More than half of the 561 single-family homes planned for the development have been sold or are under construction, Belltown developer Josh Sanderson told Knox News, and prospective buyers have been put on a waitlist. Other forms of housing also are in the works. A 335-unit apartment complex is in the planning stages, and construction began this month on 185 townhomes geared toward people ages 55 and older. The townhome project is scheduled to wrap up in 2027, Sanderson said, and crews will soon begin building the next phase of single-family homes to be completed next winter. In total, 4,000 residents are expected to live in Belltown once the community is complete. Smithbilt Homes, the development company behind Belltown, has widened West Emory Road and added a traffic signal at the entrance to help address traffic concerns tied to the projected population increase. Private amenities for residents are finished, Sanderson said, including a pool, playground and clubhouse-style meeting area. Belltown plans to add a public park, which will have a playground, dog park, kayak area,
