Love Towers consists of two seven-story apartment buildings located in North Knoxville one block off of Broadway. One building is designated for seniors only, and the other is available for disabled, elderly and near-elderly individuals.

Luncheon at Love Towers

I recently had the privilege of lending a hand to the 5th Annual Resident Appreciation Luncheon at Guy B. Love Towers.

Love Towers consists of two seven-story apartment buildings located in North Knoxville one block off of Broadway. One building is designated for seniors only, and the other is available for disabled, elderly and near-elderly individuals.

Steve Ellis, our property manager at Love Towers, established this luncheon as a way to build up the community at Love Towers and to show the residents how much we appreciate them. Based on all the smiles I saw today, the residents are sure glad he came up with the idea.

Steve also came up with another good idea – to have KCDC executive staff serve the luncheon. I was happy to roll up my sleeves alongside the other members of my executive team, the management at Love Towers and KCDC employees. We all enjoy chatting with the residents, making new acquaintances and reestablishing old ones. It’s a lot of fun and very rewarding.

Thanks to Steve Ellis and the Love Towers residents for a lovely afternoon that helped remind me and my team why we do what we do. It’s all about our residents.
