Would the former Canal building be  considered C and downtown? 

No clue unfortunately. I don’t have a list of which 11 buildings are Class C. I do know Landmark and Canvas are Class C though. Those two alone are half of the available square footage. My guess is that the former Canal building is Class C also.

I would suspect the Canal building is Class B, since there have been a lot of recent renovations in the last ten years or so.

Ahh…you might be right then. I don’t think that space is for lease at this time anyways. I believe a mixed use development is planned for that site in the future. 

I did some research also. The Landmark building has 178,397 square feet available and Canvas has 130,000 square feet available. That‘s over 308,000 square feet.

All the more reason to do a full makeover of the Landmark and turn into something else!

With CBRE research data for 4th quarter 2022 indicating office vacancy rates hovering around 3%, Hart says he expects 2023 to bring announcements for new office building projects in the Greenville-Spartanburg market.

“We are going to need more space to meet anticipated growth,” he says.

Thanks for sharing.  I looked up Canal, and in clicking on its website, realized that it's located in the Sears that my mother dragged me to when I was a kid.

ANYTHING would be a step up from working in a windowless former Sears.  Same for the county employees who work in the windowless former Woolco on University Ridge!

It looks like the commercial real estate market is in real trouble. Banks are beginning to be affected too, thus the huge decline in bank stocks yesterday. If rates continue to go up, the prime rate will be getting close to 9.00% soon. No one can afford those kind of carrying costs. My point is, don't be surprised to see several projects come to a halt, not just in Greenville, but throughout the entire nation. Having seen many ups and downs in my 35 year banking career, the present economic conditions are getting scary.

Powell won't stop until we have  a recession. A soft landing would have made him a genius, but he gave up on that.

I agree. Also, banks are getting ready to tighten up on lending. It’s going to be a rough year for everybody.

According to the latest office report from Colliers for Q1 2023, the Class A vacancy office rate in the CBD now stands at 1.77%. That is not a typo either. :blink: There is only 31,005 square feet available out of 1,753,155 square feet total. Rental rates for this Class A space continue to increase and now stand at $31.14 on average per square foot which is higher than pre-Covid. 

Class C for the CBD also saw improvement in the vacancy rate. Class B for the CBD unfortunately is a different story and saw negative absorption for the quarter.

^^ That bodes well for County Square.  I wonder where that 31k is located? One building or multiple? 

Not sure. I don’t see any of the office space getting built at County Square. It will be like every other project downtown and go through delay after delay that will drag on for years where the developer will blame everything from Covid to inflation as to why it can’t get built.
