The latest estimated price tag for the project is more than $2 billion — double the original estimation from just a few years ago. The former water treatment building, as well as a former textile

Talk about depressing. Hopefully GSA Business finds out what the heck is going on here. The amount of stalled projects in this area right now is ridiculous. 

You act like we live in a depressed area. When you drive around town and see all the positive that is happening in our great city, you will feel more grateful. There are stalled projects all over the nation. It is the economic conditions we are in. High interest rates, continued supply chain issues and worker issues are just a few of the issues. Until that improves, many projects are going to be stalled.

Excuses. Excuses. I was in Atlanta in this past weekend and there are tower cranes everywhere. In fact, a building over 700 feet tall started construction there just a few weeks ago. This seems more like a Greenville problem rather than a nationwide problem.

You're not seeing the delays because you're not hyper tuned in and focused on it. For all you know, many of those tower cranes were delayed 2 years. You're getting instant satisfaction simply because they're up and visible NOW. 

Oh, hmm -- DELAYS: https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/no2-opus-place-midtown-skyscraper-project-development-lands-40m-financing

It is not as it seems. Every growing city in America has projects that are delayed.

And why are you comparing a city like Greenville to a large city like Atlanta? It probably has more delayed construction than we have in total projects proposed or under construction. Not really a smart post.

Fine. Let’s look at Charleston then. Several tower cranes up there and zero here. This is a local issue not a national one. Hopefully some day Greenville will get some real developers who actually know what they’re doing. Only the Beach Company right now seems to have a clue. Greenville for some odd reason just seems to have a bad history and luck of trying to get large projects built which is why the Gateway site has been empty for 25 years.

If no cranes keeps us from becoming anything like Atlanta then I'll gladly do without. I'll take Greenville EVERYTIME over that mess.

Sorry, but you are wrong. I am a glass half full type of person, always optimistic. But, being a retired banker, I can see the signs of trouble ahead. It is a national issue, that is likely to get worse as the banking crisis heats up and the banks cut back on lending. Commercial real estate is in big trouble. Bankers are going to put on the brakes, and commercial borrowers need to be careful on high interest rate debt. This is one of many articles that you can read about the upcoming situation. https://news.yahoo.com/commercial-real-estate-is-in-trouble-a-banking-crisis-will-make-it-worse-135630056.html

You have something going on man. Count your blessings. 1st world problems. Much more going on than this. Greenville has added more buildings than probably any other city in SC the last decade. Pull it together dude. No height is being added in Charleston.

Why do we care how many tower cranes are present?

I didn’t know it was a crime to like tower cranes and high rises on a forum called “Urban Planet.” But if that’s the case then I guess it’s time for me to go elsewhere.

The Homewood Suites never seems packed. Maybe demand is lacking 

Accommodations tax revenue is coming in higher so far for the year than the city projected in their budget so demand is definitely not the issue.

Project currently in civil permitting process. Construction to start this Summer. Site grading permits to be issued in two to three weeks. $150+ million for phase 1. The first phase of the development will include four acres of commercial space along South Carolina Highway 253 and the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Tied to this phase will also be two residential communities — approximately 600 housing units — another commercial parcel that will include food and beverage opportunities, an entertainment parcel that will be activated along the trail, and another parcel that houses a historical structure that will be adaptively reused to become a distillery. A lot of the hold up has been with DHEC and EPA but the project is moving forward. Developer is very happy with the support they have received from Greenville County also.

Good to hear. I still wish there was someway to get this annexed, this would be a great development to have in the city limits and a population boost to boot.

Glad to see the Union Bleachery and Delano developers respond back. Hopefully the Kimpton developer does also with some sort of update.
