New Realm held a soft opening tonight. Should be open for the weekend.

This is an interesting project that they are doing at a mall in Sterling Heights, MI.... food for thought: https://www.sterlingheights.gov/2069/Lakeside-Town-Center

That seems like a nice view to me. That side of the park will be bustling with activity once the pickleball court, tower and field are done. Maybe then developers will see the obvious opportunity that Mayberry presents

The potential Taco Boy location is back up for sale https://www.crexi.com/properties/1522420/south-carolina-1813-laurens-rd

It's a number of years off of course, but I think the maturation of the trees will drastically improve the park. I think they just planted another 100 or so along the river over the last couple weeks. I'm curious. What would you have done differently? Less open green fields?

The county is already is a very rough spot. I made sure to buy my house within city boundaries because I have a lot of faith in city leadership managing this growth, and so far they have.

Leasing & Property Transfers in Downtown/West End vicinity
NewlyUpstate replied to vicupstate's topic in Greenville
Thanks for this. Looks like all that land was purchased by an LLC tied to the co-owner of Swamp Rabbit Cafe. Makes you wonder if they are planning a brand new building and relocation to match their regional success. -
Yeah I imagine the design was probably more of a master plan. Like take a look a Southernside and Fireforge, seems like both of them are constantly improving their spaces using cashflow.

Traffic Congestion, Road Construction, & Improvement Projects
NewlyUpstate replied to gman430's topic in Greenville
Seems worth it. Can they just approve the penny tax for the 8 years, create a dashboard showing progress against these identified projects, and revisit effectiveness 8 years from now? -
Pretty sure the coca cola one was from the 80s. That's not that old

Publications about Greenville/Upstate
NewlyUpstate replied to greenvillehistorytours's topic in Greenville Coffee House
Weird article. Probably describes Greenville County much more so than Greenville City. Most newcomers I meet in the city are more moderate/lean left it seems like. Kinda weird to paint Greenville as some right wing haven, that is very concerned with restricting abortion and scared of transexuals, when that's not the case at all. According to Cook PVI, SC-04 has very slowly trended less conservative/more moderate over the past decade (from R+15 to R+12) -
I imagine there is some of that. It's zoned MX-2. What I don't understand is how they are expecting these units to go for market rate.. I wish they had factored in affordable housing in order to get the height bonus (up to 4 stories) then added a ground floor mixed component. Honestly, I am just at a base level against any development west of Academy on Pendleton not including a workforce/affordable component. Hopefully there is community pushback against this.

Traffic Congestion, Road Construction, & Improvement Projects

https://churchstbridgerehab.com/resources.aspx#construction This site now has the handout from yesterday's meeting available as well as videos showing the construction phasing and finished product (not sure if these are new, but hadn't seen them before) -
Pretty uninspired, meh.
-
Staff is recommending approval of project EXCEPT for screening/gating of of the first floor windows and door.
-
I was looking at that too yesterday, it definitely comes off more of a recreational center with the tennis courts, lacrosse markings, etc, but perhaps just a clever way to put a placeholder without the attention of throwing an actual stadium in there. It probably makes the most sense out of anywhere on the site
-
People just get nervous about privatization of previously public spaces, which is very understandable. Hopefully they find a way to codify the schedule in order to keep it public as often as possible, only closing them night before specific, rare events, etc.
-
Anyone aware of any additional movement on the mixed-use Vardae redevelopment along Laurens? I heard a rumor that there is plans developing for the Triumph stadium to be located here.

Pendleton Street [between West End and West Greenville]
NewlyUpstate replied to vicupstate's topic in Greenville
At Blythe? Phase 2 is adding a dedicated right turn there -
Still waiting to hear more about the old Canal building on stone as well... But on topic. Yeah I think the massing is a big improvement. I like the rounded commercial with the balconies on residential. I think there's enough there to make it interesting enough with materials and color.

Pendleton Street [between West End and West Greenville]
NewlyUpstate replied to vicupstate's topic in Greenville
Is your solution to have no construction? All across the country construction happens and the world still turns and businesses find ways to conduct their business. Continual progress is the way the world works. -
Last 3 times I've tried were trash. Quick generic google search shows my experience isn't isolated https://www.google.com/search?q=whataburger+became+bad Whataburger was purchased by a PE firm in 2019 who immediately prioritized broad expansion and cost cutting
-
Yay now everyone gets to experience how crappy whataburger has become. Last time I went to one I couldn't even finish my sandwich. That never happens to me.
-
More so, to me, either it screams that proterra was an absolute financial mess or Phoenix had no business purchasing them and some investors/banks somewhere really f'ed up
