At least something is rising!

That is largely the point. It might look out of place in Greenville because Greenville is too full of this: If we have so much of the above that something a little nicer might not match... that means we have a big problem with our architecture. By all means; bring in something that will look out of place with the sea of this above and lets break the mold. I'm glad we weren't afraid to let them build the Bohemian or Mcdaniel, or some of the other nicer ones. [I might redo the front porch section of that rendering but it is still significantly nicer than the Greenville project].

For Greenville's project or Charleston's?

Looks so institutional and soulless. I may not be around to see it but one day this era of architecture will mercifully end. Of course it may just transition to something even less creative. Perhaps the days of solid and creative architecture are gone forever?

That side of the airport could use a little sprucing up. Power wash, paint job would be better than nothing but really could use a make over

No, there is a shortage of beds in this market which also complicates ER wait times. Actually part of the shortage is in outlying areas and so many people travel to fill the Greenville hospitals. Part of this is because hospitals can make more money with turnover [more people in the same amount of time equals more money] and part of it is because insurance companies are cheap and won't pay for longer stays. The healthcare industry as a whole is an unbelievable money grab.

Actually looks like a pretty big building for just 20 beds; and the article also mentions possible future expansion depending on how it does. I personally would think, with the current size of the metro, and the growth, Greenville could easily handle more hospitals. Competition would be good for the area. Bring it on.

I like it; not just the usual.

Probably the most likely scenario at this point.

Looks like the highest point will be 102 feet; we have another we can add to our 100+ list!

It's nice to have positive national coverage and all but the headline and story should be accurate to the situation and try to match reality. The premise of a struggling downtown that was saved by a ballpark is just not accurate. Imagine if someone did a story 20 years from now about County Square or Union Bleachery "saving a struggling city." It just wouldn't be true. It might be true to present County Square as an effective way to redevelop a site in an urban core, or Union Bleachery as an effective way to reclaim an old blighted site; but it would be very inaccurate to say or imply it saved a city that was struggling.

Some good aspects of this piece but the headline [an overall tone] is very misleading. Greenville's downtown was going through a boom then; Riverplace, Falls Park, appts and condos, restaurants; it was a very happening place. West End was struggling but the rest of downtown was doing very well. I am glad they put in one good shot of the greater dt area in there because I got the impression that Greenville was a dying hamlet somewhere and the ballpark saved it. That is just way off.

Ok now, we've got some solid proposals in Gatway, 2 Oneil, Municipal Ct (I've thrown in the towel on Rhett St, Kimpton, City Hall, etc); but for Pete's sake, ... CAN SOMEBODY ACTUALLY BUILD ONE OF THESE DARN THINGS? ENOUGH PLANNING .... DO IT!!!

Not a thing of complete beauty, but I think this is a noticeable improvement over the original; especially at ground level, and always good to see an increase in height. I'll take it.
