As new businesses, residents and investments continue to drive growth across East Tennessee, Knoxville-based real estate development, design and brokerage firm PWA Properties is expanding its role in the region’s business community as a new Silver Premier Partner of the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce. The investment deepens PWA Properties’ commitment to East Tennessee at a pivotal time for the region, positioning the company to work more closely with the businesses, investors and developers shaping Knoxville’s next phase of growth.
With 11.6 million square feet designed, $92.45 million in development value delivered and 219 brokered transactions completed to date, PWA Properties has built its business around helping clients navigate development from its earliest stages through completion. Its integrated approach brings architecture and engineering, planning and construction, real estate brokerage and business strategy together under one roof, giving clients a single partner capable of supporting a project from property acquisition and planning to development and completion.
“There’s a lot of exciting growth happening across Knoxville, and we want to stay closely connected to the businesses and people experiencing it firsthand,” said Jay Benson, CEO of PWA Properties. “For us, becoming a Premier Partner is an opportunity to meet the businesses investing here, understand what they need and find meaningful ways that we can support them as they grow.”
As a Silver Premier Partner of Knoxville’s Chamber of Commerce, PWA Properties will become more deeply connected to the businesses driving investment and expansion across the region. Those relationships will give the company greater insight into emerging business and development needs, while creating opportunities to collaborate with the companies, investors and community leaders influencing East Tennessee’s continued evolution.
The Knoxville Chamber of Commerce represents businesses across the region to drive economic growth through advocacy, economic development and community initiatives. As a Silver Premier Partner, PWA Properties joins a flourishing network of local organizations investing in the Chamber’s mission to strengthen Knoxville’s long-term economic vitality and growth.
As East Tennessee continues to evolve, PWA Properties’ expanded investment in the Chamber reflects a broader commitment to being part of the conversations, relationships and projects that will determine what the region’s growth looks like in the years ahead.
