CONSTRUCTION THREAD: ONE Greenville (Main @ Washington)

[btoy]

TIC Properties, that is part of the One Greenville project, what would be phase three, my understanding is that will be the largest of the towers in the project.

The parking garage next to it (owned by TIC Properties also) might be included too which is why it never got repainted/renovated when the BofA building did a few years ago.

Now that's an interesting tidbit!

Hopefully we will continue to see pretty good absorption of office space in the CBD and maybe the potential phase III won't be too far out. (assuming it's office space)

Excellent! That lines up with what I heard. It was my understanding that this piece of land would hold the true "signature" tower. It seems things are rapdily progressing behind the scenes on this portion.

My guess, and it is strictly that, would be this third building would be a hotel or hotel/office building.

This is getting better every day! Can't wait to hear more on this "Signature Tower..."

Very interesting. Don't buildings over a certain height have to be set back a certain distance from Main Street? And is it only Main Street with that law? Perhaps this would be a good way to get around being able to have a large tower butt right up against the road.

I'm pretty sure that this only applies to Main Street. For example, the new Riverwalk building (Camperdown, Rhett), Bookends I (McBee), Bookends II (Washington), and Main @ Broad (Broad, Laurens) all would breech that law if it applied to streets other than Main.

This is also in line with what I heard in the weeks leading up to the initial announcement...

There is no law regarding this. There is only a guideline with the DPC stating mid/high-rise buildings along Main Street need setbacks. This is why phase II of ONE is able to get built even though it is a highrise built up against the Main Street sidewalk with no setback.

I was at a conference last weekend in Greenville and Mayor White stopped by to give a brief welcome to Greenville speech. In his speech, he mentioned that the ONE Development could also be home to another downtown hotel.

Demolition starting up on Evolve Male building.

Demolition starting up on Evolve Male building.

Will these businesses remain open somewhere? (hopefully downtown?)

[vicupstate]

Evolve is moving to Riverplace, but that may just be temporary.

What's open at Riverplace-- space in the Terrace? I hope they find a visible location wherever they end up. Either way, hopefully they've got somewhat of a following from being on Washington that they'll do fine.

[gman430]

Evolve Male which will be changing its name to Evolve Clothing Lounge is moving to Poinsett Corners at 406 River Street not Riverplace. This is a temporary move.

Thanks for the correction Citylife.

[gman430]

My pleasure vicupstate.

Didn't realize they were going to fence off every piece of sidewalk and parking spots along Main and Washington Streets in front of the site. Oh well...I can live with it. This project is well worth it. Around half of Piazza Bergamo is also now fenced off. Where is Heidi's dog going to poop now?

Will there be a crane(or 2) erected on this site or will they use mobile cranes?

I'm hearing two tower cranes (one for each highrise) will be used.

Sweet!!

[gman430]

Lots of new equipment arriving on site including mobile crane. Tower crane base and rebar starting to go in also. Definitely the most activity I have seen since the project started construction. Pic of site to come later today.

Beautiful! They are moving at a pretty fast pace. I can't wait to see what kind of impact this makes.
