[CONSTRUCTION THREAD: ONE Greenville (Main @ Washington)]

The news I'm hearing about the future of commercial real estate (and housing) is pretty dire. I imagine we will be looking at a large gap for some time. I guess that's what happens when half your national economy is dependent on building sprawl and government spending.

Although a grassy field like this one would make an excellent tent city.

[CONSTRUCTION THREAD: ONE Greenville (Main @ Washington)]

I overheard two distinguished looking fellows (possible developers/realtors) talking in a downtown coffee shop the other day about Main@Washington. They were saying that the developer was considering postponing the project for at least three or four years (2013-2014) until the commercial market improved. Has anybody heard anything to validate this? I'm not really in the know concerning this development. I would hate for this to fizzle out and be stuck with some permanent park. Urban parks are nice, but maintaining the street wall on main is more important in my opinion.
