    The West End

    I see they are tearing down and replacing the brick veneer on the townhouses on Rhett. That is costing someone a pretty penny. Ouch.
  2. I will believe this building when I see it.
  3. “What's wrong with you?” That question would require a dedicated thread and some clinical research.

    Greenville is not lacking for restaurants, but what a shame that Mary's Cottage has sat vacant for YEARS. Such a unique experience while it was in operation.
  5. looks cheap and pre-fab.....Baby McLaren
  6. I think this will be a huge home run.
  7. I am curious to see how this and Trueline compete.
  8. Is SCDOT incompetent, corrupt, or some combination? Have they ever set an actual deadline to complete a road project, or is the contractor greasing someone's palms to have a perpetual project?
  9. Driving to Charlotte. Miles and miles of the center section of 85 still under construction after a decade and NOBODY IS EVEN WORKING! Maddening.

    The West End

    New Realm Brewing has not built any of the outdoor features shown on original application. Just grass. Are those delayed or eliminated?
  11. https://greenvillejournal.com/news/board-of-zoning-appeals-defers-on-bar-whataburger-exceptions/ I think The Lounge owners also have The Bougie Lounge next to Lululemon? Really not sure how that one stays open when every time I walk past it there are zero to a handful of customers.
  12. I would love to see this succeed wildly with creative land use and architecture. I am sympathetic to gentrification concerns....but the answer is not to leave a blighted area alone to preserve dirt cheap housing.

    The West End

    I think it was posted sometime in the past, but what is going in the remaining space at the Doubletree across from the baseball stadium? I see that is under construction. And New Realm is getting close. A 'Now Hiring' sign is up.
  14. The flaw in this project was trying to do residential condos on a site too small to handle parking effectively.
  15. https://www.postandcourier.com/greenville/news/scottish-rite-center-greenville-sc-cleveland-street/article_fed4d14e-da5a-11ee-ae56-ef73ea9d29b0.html I am curious to see design and price point.
  16. Non-box architecture is dramatically more costly and probably will not drive a corresponding increased ROI. Building a single family house is no different....every time the foundation and roof change direction, pitch, etc the cost goes up.
  17. I agree with that broadly and I certainly don't want the charming older buildings downtown razed for all modern structures. However, this building is not charming (aka hideous architecture) it is simply older. And juxtposed by connection with nicer architecture makes that even more stark. Look I get it, it is not my money and they are trying to repurpose that Canvas tower for obvious reasons. But that does not change the lipstick on the pig.
  18. The existing Canvas building looks SOOO out of place connected to that nice big new tower.
  19. GVL is better than most downtowns but it would be nice to take a walk without being accosted by religious cults and homeless every other block.
  20. I hate paying taxes, but the vast majority of the road surfaces in the State need repaving. SC has to have the worst roads of any State along the Eastern seaboard.
  21. https://www.postandcourier.com/greenville/sc-highway-183-pickens-four-lane-drones-flying-roadwork-upstate/article_f6f16264-ccfc-11ee-8dce-9751200ea500.html I am really disappointed this project does not improve the road in it's entirety from Greenville to the lake.
  22. First time in Carmella’s. They are crushing it.
