Fencing is currently going up around the next phase of the park (baseball field + Honor Tower). The tree protection that has been put into place indicates that the tower will finally be starting construction.
Any idea when affordable housing on Oscar Meadow street will start.
It's been 5 yrs to the day since this article came out https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2019/04/15/sc-man-gifts-prime-property-near-greenville-unity-park-affordable-housing/3398784002/

I think a soccer field would get more use. Kroc's field is never empty. We need more.
Baseball field will not get used as much by general public, require more upkeep, and has a higher upfront cost.
If they scrap the baseball field for a soccer field, after delaying baseball field for a year because they want to combine construction with the 'tower,' all hell will break loose.

It's hard to predict how these tower projects turn out.

If it were ANYWHERE in the city it would be eligible for the benefit, since it is a historic building. The location has no bearing on it.
This property owner is eligible, of course. It is just frustrating when developers get so much help (investment) from the city and then come back for a second bite at the apple.
This plot and adjacent plot were bought up by two big names within a 3 month span back in 2012 knowing full well that the park would multiply their investment. Then, when it does, they ask for more tax breaks.
Imagine a developer benefiting from infrastructural investment provided by ReWa with the Big Dig, and then suing ReWa for taking the land 300 feet below their property (this is a real scenario, and this developer did just that).

I mean, c'mon, asking for a tax giveaway? City has invested over $60million in adjacent land, ballooning this lots' property value many times over. As recently as 7 yrs ago owner, owner leased this land for $1/yr to an urban farmer. Now, its value potential is through the roof. How much free money is enough? Developer can make these improvements on own dime and still make a killing.

Meh. I see these adult arcade businesses (pinball machines, golf simulators) as just placeholders until the larger development can find a better use of the space. These ventures are typically pretty sparse on the inside and don't require much of a build out (other than food/bev side) and thus leave space easier to repurpose once they decide to leave. For example,, if Group Therapy at Camperdown wanted to pull up stakes, that space could be a blank slate pretty quick.
Better than another coworking space?

Yeah, saw that. Not gonna happen.

Anybody know what happened with the Bellwether? It was supposed to open in September.
Bellwether swapped out their "Coming in Fall of 2022" signage to "Coming Soon"
Crews are on site all the time, looks like a major refit

When the time is right. They will tell you when. They'll also tell you if it's dead. Have they told you that? A lot goes into these projects. If it were easy the average person could do it.
We get the mushroom treatment! love it!
Honestly, this thing is a huge giveaway of public $$ to the two people who need it the least.

But, I REALLY like just about every building will have retail on the bottom floor. I really like how all the streets will be tree-lined. I like how there is a grocery store planned. That's how you design a vibrant community.
Grocery store, drug store, dry-cleaner, gym, and a few restaurants/bars ---- people won't have to leave the neighborhood in a car.
It's not going to get a grocery store. That's the oldest bait and switch in the book. They said the same thing about Canvas https://upstatebusinessjournal.com/real-estate/developer-turn-bbt-tower-apartments/

Wrong. Adopted by City Council in November 2021. https://www.greenvillesc.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/8998?fileID=47348
that's the west end plan. not the village of west greenville's "micro area" plan
Note the links on top left for the two different plans

Every time I see the developer present this project, he goes on and on about how it fits with the Village of West Greenville's "Micro-area plan." But that plan was never passed by city council. the plan passed Planning Commission, but that isn't the final stamp of approval.

There is a meeting tonight on Woven. 6:30 pm at 556 Perry Ave. with the developer.
President of West Greenville Neighborhood association finished the meeting by reading a letter asking for the development to be paused until the City's new land ordinance codes are finalized.

me too. Liberty was run down and in need of an overhaul, but Bellwether is expensive and sterile.
