This is a nice location. Hopefully they're proposing something as nice as McBee Park across the street.

Yep - curious what this will look like.  This is designed by MHK Architecture, who I think typically does pretty upscale development.  For Greenville multi-family, I know they've done the Delano, not sure what else.

There’s a Planning Commission sign now up on site.

 Love the architecture, colors, and materials:

Construction slated to start in Summer and take 18 months to complete. Prices to start at $1.4 million. Hopefully the NIMBY’s that showed up to the neighborhood meeting and complained don’t ruin it.

Why so cheap? Starting at only $1.4 million?

It’s gonna have a big tower crane just like all of the other projects downtown currently.

I like the design and like what it will help create in the Pettigru area. However, I don't immediately understand why they're leaving the western side of the lot open.  I get that the terrain is probably tough, and the need for ingress and egress off of McDaniel. However, it would seem that a little creativity would fit some additional units up against McBee in order to continue the street wall.

That’s phase 2 of the project which will have 15 units. Phase 1 which is going for approval now is going to have 20 units.

Ah, thanks! I suppose it says that in the PDF somewhere. I don't know if anyone else is having trouble with the PDF on their phone. It reloads after scrolling past a certain point and starts back at page 1. 

This will be a good density builder.

These look great!

That is an exceptional design. Bravo on this project.

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere on the forum, but is there any reason why renderings are seldomly posted in the Greenville section of UP?  I only make it to Greenville a few times a year at best and try to keep up with development there, but when most discussion centers around a link to (in this case) a 59 page public document, it becomes that much harder for an out-of-towner to separate one project from the next.

Be the change you want to see.

I know personally I like details and I love reading through all 59 pages provided publically

You can see renderings here without having to look through that large pdf file:

I guess one of us could create a thread with a spread sheet of all of these downtown projects with location, renderings, current status, etc on each one to make it each easier to differentiate them.

What I was eluding to in my last post was how in the NC forums, renderings are usually posted in the relevant thread for each project.  It gives a sort of "face" to a name to help keep track of each development.  Whereas on here renderings are very rarely posted and projects are instead referred to by names and street addresses which is difficult for those not intimately familiar with Greenville.

Here is the rendering for this project since no one else will actually post it...

This is terrific.  This is exactly the type of development that downtown needs.

No through-the-wall air conditioners, no boxy “Charlotte 2010 Style” apartment building, no cheapness, no suburban sprawl.

“Fifty to 100 years from now, this project is not going to look out of date,” Lehde says. “That limestone is just going to age and patina and look more beautiful over time.”

This is true. I wish other developers would matriculate into this school of thought. 

[GVLer]

This is one of the best looking project designs I have seen.....hopefully the finished product reflects the intent.

[gman430]

I love it.  Hopefully it actually gets built and doesn’t stall like every other project downtown. The fact they plan to start construction in just a few months though bodes well and tells me they have financing already lined up.
