 – Subtext, a national student and multifamily real estate company, and Brinkmann Constructors, a national general contractor, hosted an official groundbreaking ceremony on June 17, 2024 for VERVE Knoxville, a 14-story student housing community adjacent to the University of Tennessee campus in Knoxville, TN.

 

 VERVE Knoxville is Subtext’s second project in Knoxville, following the delivery of TENN in 2018, and is expected to be completed in summer 2026.

 

Located at 1919 Lake Avenue, just one block away from the retail and dining district along Cumberland Avenue, VERVE Knoxville will offer 136 units with a mix of one- two-, three-, and four-bedroom layouts, offering a total of 498 beds.

“We’re hyper-focused on Power 4 Conference and R1 universities with strong market fundamentals and enrollment growth outpacing other top markets,” said Brandt Stiles, Founding Partner, Subtext. “These data points, combined with our experience in Knoxville, made this an ideal location for us. We’re excited to bring the VERVE brand to UT. VERVE is not just an exceptional building; it’s really a lifestyle designed for the unique needs and well-being of our residents.”

 

Brinkmann and Subtext have a long history of project collaboration that includes LOCAL Nashville, a 15-story multifamily community, which delivers in Fall 2024. VERVE Knoxville closed in May 2024 with construction financing from FNBO.
