AVAILABLE Tract 3 2.0‐24.42 Acres NAI Knoxville is pleased to offer this opportunity to purchase the infill development site. Located in a highly
desirable tourism market and part of the new dynamic Pigeon Forge City Events Center and the newly proposed
Cal Ripken Experience submarket, this submarket is in need of a convention hotel and this is the site for it.
This site consists of one tract, which can be purchased together or subdivided totaling approximately 24.42
acres. The site was originally master planned as a mixed use village center that would contain retail, entertainment, hospitality, timeshare and overnight rentals. The site is suitable for all of those uses and is now available to
the stand alone hotel, restaurant, timeshare or retail developer that is interested in leveraging all this thriving tourism market has to offer with the public and private funds that are currently being invested in adjacent properties
and related infrastructure. The site is adjacent to the new 232,599 square foot event center that is currently under
construction and is scheduled for completion in 2013. Known as the LeConte Center, the complex will connect to
a 3,000 car parking lot and trolley depot, as well as the mile long lighted and landscaped RiverWalk along the
Little Pigeon River. In addition to the Events Center directly across the street, The Jake Thomas Boulevard
extension is due to start expansion in early 2012. The road extension will connect Dollywood directly to the
Pigeon Forge Parkway. This extension and the eventual connection of these two highly traveled tourism arterials
will ensure that this is the most convenient and highly sought out undeveloped property in this market. Last but
not least, the newly proposed Cal Ripken Experience is set to expand, on the adjacent site. Cal Ripken’s
preliminary plans show nine fields, on site, and project 70,000 player visits a year.

“The State Building Commission approved Pigeon Forge’s
blueprint for a $182 million building program on Thursday.”
Financing
By Joel Davis
APPROVED The Building Commission approved the city’s request to fund the construction of a
in support of civic events center, new parking facilities, road improvements and a needed wastewater
plan expansion through the Convention Center and Tourism Development Financing
RiverWalk Park Act of 1988.
“We’re very pleased,” City Manager Earlene Teaster said. “There has been a lot
of hard work going into it for about three years now. We had a lot of good staff
people and consultants working on it. The board is very pleased. Hopefully,
there is going to be an opportunity to take Pigeon Forge a little further into the
tourism world and create more jobs and boost the economy.”
Tourism
Development Zone
A year after the City of Pigeon Forge City Manager Earlene Teaster’s first public
endorsement of the Pigeon Falls Village project, on May 11,2006, the City of Pigeon
Forge won final approval for its Tourism Development Zone (or “TDZ”) from the
State of Tennessee.
The TDZ authorization enables the use of a powerful sales tax increment bonding
mechanism to provide funds for an Events Center and related improvements,
such as roads and parking.
Of the total $180 million bonding program, $106.5 million is being
invested in improvements that directly benefit the RiverWalk Park Development.
Central to the TDZ bonding enabling legislation is the development of a 232,599 sq. ft.
Events Center, which by binding agreement, will be located on a 9.86 acre tract of
land in the heart of RiverWalk Park.

Pigeon Forge is 79,000 Residents, 15 Million Visitors
the Heart of Sevier County, Tennessee, with a population of a mere 79,000 people, enjoys 11 million
guests and 4+ million Day-trippers a year, who spend about 3 days in the
The Gateway overnight
market, and generated gross sales tax receipts of $70 million in 2009.
Since the Park’s dedication in 1940, The Gateway
has grown and evolved from inside the Park, out to
Interstate 40, spanning 25 miles, from Gatlinburg,
to Pigeon Forge, to Sevierville.
Pigeon Forge, the second to develop, has been the
most economically successful due to its proximity to
the Park and mountain context, yet with more land
than the Park constrained Gatlinburg. Pigeon Forge has
enjoyed decades of stable and committed leadership,
who has proactively managed tourism, investing five
times as much in marketing as the other two towns.
