CONSTRUCTION THREAD: Pinnacle on Main

[erm1981]

well at least its a high rise and it is going in downtown.

[goodbye]

Isnt that Big bank building in spartanburg 250ft. I believe it says BB&T on it. That is a big building so if it is as tall as that ill be happy.

The Denny's tower in Spartanburg is really not as tall or big as it appears. The illusion is created by the lack of surrounding towers in downtown, and the windows are "split," which creates an appearance of many more floors than actually exist, in my viewpoint. It is a nicely designed building though, regardless of height.

I think it would have been nice if that were in greenville

Me too, but perhaps it is better for Spartanburg that it, along with the headquarters therein, are in that city. Greenville has it's share of HQ's, and as much as I would like more tall buildings DT, it is good for other upstate cities to have some of their own.

I will agree on that. Isn't this great folks? This means they are going to build it very soon, like next month! I am like a kid in a candy store.

[erm1981]

Its really just the beginning. The first few towers that go up will hopefully spur developement for bigger and better ones.

Yes, most definitely next month. Probably sometime between October 15-31.

Or at least we can dream huh?

So, should we call the local Home Depot to see if anyone has purchased a bunch of shovels recently?

[cdude9409]

I have received word that the Pinnacle on Main developers are going to install a webcam on the site as soon as construction begins.

When will this be?

[cdude9409]

Sometime later this month.

[distortedlogic]

Anyone ever heard the story of the boy who cried "wolf"?

[GvilleSC]

Well I can't wait for the wolf to come!

[cdude9409]

...or howl or cry.

[motonenterprises]

I guess this person thinks its not going to happen. I know it will, and this month at that.

[cdude9409]

I hope your right. The only reason i'm saying it's going to start this month is because that's what Bob Ellis told me. If it doesn't start this month, then don't blame me.

You don't trust your source? Are you saying that Bob Ellis lacks integrity? I hope not!

[RestedTraveler]

If there's one thing I know, it's that you can always trust a guy in a bow tie.

[Greenville]

If there's one thing I know, it's that you can always trust a guy in a bow tie.

That's funny, because I have always lived by the advice of "never trust a guy in a bowtie."

[RestedTraveler]

I think Orville or Paul would have had something to say about that.

[erm1981]

So is anything stirring on the site as of today? just wondering......

[RestedTraveler]

If there's anything going on, they've got an invisibility cloak wrapped around it all.

[Greenville]

[distortedlogic]

It has nothing to do with integrity. And it is not that I think it will not happen. It is just that we have been told the same thing about starting in the past. We were expecting a start "any day now" last September! We had heard that several times. With that in mind, it is pointless to get too hopeful until something actually happens.

[motonenterprises]

Agreed! But its nice to believe its going to happen.
