5 Points North?
Kidding.
-
I will try this again...a few of the USC campus.
-
The Center Vista sign was still up as of earlier today if that means anything.
-
^^^ I could not agree more.

After looking through those plans, I am just plain angry. As far as a development goes, it could not get any worse then what appears will be built on the Kenny's Auto site. So who is to blame? City Council? The developers? The neighborhood groups? Columbia's general bad luck? All of the aforementioned?
I hate to be so negative, but this entire 5 Points South debacle is so disheartening and exactly what I have come to expect from this city.
-
Pathetic, and quite disheartening when it comes to following City of Columbia developments.
Those neighborhood groups should be ashamed.

Krazee,
Is the photo you posted (taken on 10/4) the new hotel going in on the corner of Lady and Huger or the one right as you come off of I-26?
Regardless, where were you standing when you took the photo? Not sure why, but I am having a hard time figuring out the angle.

Jungle Jim's....R.I.P.

Great news and a good looking building indeed. I just hate that it is right behind the McDonalds.
One day, the Huger St. corridor is going to be a very attractive portion of the city. Projects like this certainly help.
Is there a start date for construction?
-
That is so gorgeous! Just across the street from there the city has taken out all the pear trees that were lined up in front of the South Carolina Supreme Court building, so now we have more columns readily visible within that block.
Corgi, does it really look better sans the pear trees? Not sure if you were being sarcastic or not in your post above. I hate when any tree is taken down, but I do seem to recall that those pear trees were cluttering up the view of the Supreme Court building.
-
There are some great shots of Columbia on that site. Good find.
-
Center Vista...anyone know when construction will begin?
-
That project has long been rumored, good to see it is finally moving forward. Hopefully the new building will look nice...it certainly can not be any less appealing then the what resides on that space now.
-
But is any of this a good reason to build a crappy freestanding bank!? Thats exactly what Five Points is supposed to get away from! You can build quality 1-level urban projects that aren't a drive-thru bank.
Agreed. Heck, if it has to be one story, make sure that story looks nice as hell. FPS and Kline...two area changing projects that are no more.

^^^^ Good one Matt, good one. How appropriate would that be.
Swinson said their experience -
Bad news on the West Columbia front. Another delay in what would have been (will be) a great development.

Trehnholm Plaza will be getting a $8.5 million facelift.

Trenholm Plaza changes

I could be wrong but I thought the Carolina Alumni thing was at the Assembly/Pendleton/Main/College block.
You are correct. Right next to the new Heath Research building.
-
I heard a juicy tidbit tonight. I had dinner with a buddy of mine that is doing the graphic design for the "Touch of the South" place. He had a meeting with them this week, and they told him that the lot across the street is going to be a "W" hotel. This is pretty reliable info, but I have no idea when an official announcement might come.
If true, that would be phenomenal.

^^^ If I have them in a Kodak gallery album, what do I need to do so that others can see the photos posted on this thread?
If not Kodak, any recommendations?
-
Even if it ultimately costs you tenants in your condo complex and/or research building?
I know if I was thinking about buying a condo in Adesso I would take one look at the power lines and look elsewhere.
Same if I was IBM, and was thinking about relocating employees to the new Horizon block.
I understand being cost sensitive when planning a project, but at what cost?

It appears CanalSide is coming along nicely.
Nice shots.
