Pleasantburg Drive Corridor


goodbye

Recommended Posts

There has been a great interest to recreate Pleasantburg Drive into a bustling business corridor with catalysts such as the Palmetto Expo Center renovation and addition, and McAlister Square/Greenville Tech expansions. With the Greenville Downtown Airport and I-385 access located right in the center of a large, busy city road, is anything standing in the way of the dream becoming a reality? Below is a link to an interesting website, but it appears to have not been updated in over a year. :huh:

I don't see anything standing in the way necessarily, but like downtown, this transformation will not happen overnight. The speed of the transformation will also depend on the growth of Gville Tech, University Center and the other education institutions in the corridor.

Additionally, growth of the city in general will have an effect too. If ICAR really takes off and lots of new residents move in as a result, then the demand for the types of development P'burg hopes to attract will increase.

The success of repositioning the Expo Center will also play a large part of the success of the corridor in general as well.

According to the Gville News, Walter Brashier is donating the Steak And Ale location (valued at $1.6mm) to North Greenville University.

The 7,000 Sf building may be used for continuing ed. and/or extention offices for develpment and admissions.

Wow, long time since this thread has been updated.

Driving by McAlister Marketplace (the strip center in the McAlister Square parking lot, next to the Camelot movie theater) today, it seems like McAlister Marketplace is almost now totally dead.  The sole remaining tenants are a church and a nail salon or something.

 

Is it being redeveloped, or is it just finally succumbing to the mall's fate and dying on its own?

From the Upstate Business Journal regarding last Thursday's Design Review Board meeting:

Another project called Renaissance Place along Pleasantburg Drive, next to Pecknel Music, was also informally reviewed. The area was approved as Planned Development many years ago but plans were put on hold during the recession. The developer is now requesting to leave the residential portion of the PD in place for future needs but wants to modify the commercial portion.

There are three separate parcels and will be sold and developed as such. Preliminary plans showed a dentist office a future office building, a restaurant and a Goodwill store.
