Riella at Hardin Valley and Riella at Oakwood are taking shape in two distinct Knoxville neighborhoods, expanding attainable housing options across the city. The 84-unit Hardin Valley community is currently under construction along Hardin Valley Road, with completion anticipated in November 2026. Catalyst Design Group is proud to provide civil engineering and landscape architecture services for the development as part of Riella’s growing portfolio of residential communities throughout Knoxville and the Southeast.
In North Knoxville, Riella at Oakwood recently broke ground at the former St. Mary’s Hospital campus. The approximately $70 million development will create 170 affordable homes through a combination of 109 apartments, 21 townhomes, and 40 senior-focused apartments within the renovated historic hospital building. The project pairs new residential development with the preservation of the historic 1930 building and amenities designed to serve the surrounding Oakwood-Lincoln Park community. Catalyst is providing civil engineering and landscape architecture services for Riella at Oakwood, continuing our work with DGA Residential on communities throughout the Knoxville area
