I just walked through Unity Park and each time I do I can't help but question the design choices. The decision to actually build Unity Park and repurpose a woefully underutilized site was brilliant. But once given a blank canvas, they delivered a very vanilla canvas. A missed opportunity thus far.

I see they are tearing down and replacing the brick veneer on the townhouses on Rhett. That is costing someone a pretty penny. Ouch.

I will believe this building when I see it.

“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.

Building permit worth almost $15 million issued for this project.
I am curious to see how this and Trueline compete.

The bridge in Baltimore is going to get completely rebuilt before they even start construction on the Church Street project. The SCDOT is beyond useless. They can’t even fix a sandwich let alone the roads.
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?

Driving to Charlotte. Miles and miles of the center section of 85 still under construction after a decade and NOBODY IS EVEN WORKING! Maddening.

Just more info and renderings on this.
I can't fathom how the city isn't insistent that this be annexed. I know it is not quite adjacent but it's not far from the current city limits. There has to be a way to get this into the city limits; whether through finger annexation or something else. It would be an enormous miss on many fronts, and would probably be harder to do later after the development and residential.
Good point!

New Realm Brewing has not built any of the outdoor features shown on original application. Just grass. Are those delayed or eliminated?

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.

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.

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.

The flaw in this project was trying to do residential condos on a site too small to handle parking effectively.

That's the biggest problem with Greenville's architecture as it is. You've got a choice of a brick box or a glass box, or a brick-and-glass box if the architect is especially daring, but by God you're getting a box.
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.

You're not the only poster to have said this, but I don't understand the idea at all. "Out of place" meaning what exactly? Both buildings will add to the fabric of our urban core. I don't want every single building to look the same. Maybe I'm in the minority.
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.

Welcome back.
Sounds like it is still alive to me: https://www.instagram.com/p/C36KlibReg1/
Would be silly for them to go through all of that trouble getting permits approved by the city not to build it.
The existing Canvas building looks SOOO out of place connected to that nice big new tower.

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.

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.

I had VERY high hopes for Bellwether since Urban Wren is outstanding. But honestly it is just meh.
