Is now a good time to buy a home in a new master-planned community?

Kingsport will celebrate the grand opening of Brickyard Village on October 10, 2026. The 50-acre site, formerly a brick plant, is beginning its first phase of residential construction.

Why it matters

The development represents a significant repurposing of industrial land into a residential area for the local community. It signals long-term expansion for the city as it aims to add hundreds of housing units over the coming years.

Phase one includes 32 single-family houses priced from $465,000 to $578,000, with floor plans ranging from 1,700 to 2,500 square feet. The project is expected to reach 450 units by the end of phase two.

The details

Developers are transforming a former brick plant on Brickyard Park Drive into a village featuring single-family houses, townhomes, and apartments. The master plan spans 50 acres and is expected to take 6 to 7 years to complete.

October 10, 2026: Grand opening event takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
2027: Expected completion date for the first phase of construction.

Market Landscape

This development aligns with the broader industry trend of brownfield redevelopment, where developers repurpose vacant industrial sites to meet rising demand for housing. It positions the project as a key contributor to the regional housing inventory growth over the next decade.

Prospective buyers in the first phase are eligible for $20,000 in incentives to offset purchase costs. Residents should expect construction activity to continue on the 50-acre site for the next 6 to 7 years.

The takeaway

The transformation of the former brick plant provides a template for future land-use efficiency in the city. Interested parties should factor the multi-year construction schedule into their long-term housing decisions.
