About the building

An executive tenant has just moved out, making this rarely available and premier 2 BR/2Bath condo #209 available for rent as of January 1, 2026. (It's highly likely the condo will be available a few days earlier; but it will be difficult to gain entry until the current tenant moves out.) Located at 505 Union Avenue, Knoxville, TN, in the DAYLIGHT BUILDING, just one block from Market Square and the YMCA gym, this upscale unit of 2 beds, 2 baths, has approximately 1,200 square feet and was built in 1928. This space retains the ORIGINAL HARDWOOD FLOORS and EXPOSED BRICK WALLS, along with its unique TWO WALLS OF WINDOWS overlooking Union and Walnut Streets. This unit is the only one in the building that has two banks of windows in this large a space.....truly the most coveted space in the Daylight Building for anyone desiring lots of natural light and ample open space. The Daylight Building also offers a large elevator and secure building entry as additional highly desired amenities. Just downstairs and highly convenient are popular commercial businesses that include Knoxville's only independent book store, a boutique coffee shop, Pete's Cafe, Eddie's Health Food Store, Tree & Vine (upscale cooking/olive oil/balsamic store), Citi Fido (pet supply store), and Knoxville's newest James Beard Chef restaurant, J.C. Holdway. Unit 209 Downtown Loft rents for $3100/month + a security deposit of $3100. Located 1 block from Market Square in the Daylight Building at 505 Union Ave., this 2 bed/2 bath includes a new Gaggenau refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher, microwave, cooktop/oven, and an in-unit full size washer/dryer. TWO NON-RESERVED PARKING SPACES ARE INCLUDED and available in the Market Square Parking Garage only steps away.
