CONSTRUCTION THREAD: ONE Greenville (Main @ Washington)

It does appear to be slightly taller than BoA.

It only appears to be taller. The picture is taken from an area that is lower in elevation, looking upward. Look at the church steeple. From this view, it looks higher than the BofA building too.

Have you seen it since they finished it? It is very close to the same height if not a tiny bit taller IMO.

The picture was taken before the crane was topped out. It's taller than the BofA building. You can easily see this coming down Wade Hampton Blvd.

Does anyone know the height measurement of each building?

Does anyone know the height measurement of each building?

The phase I (including elevator shaft) and phase II buildings are both 150 feet tall. The phase III building will be around 144 feet tall.

[vicupstate]

Orvis it is.

I don't think i have been to one of there stores.  Is it like LL Bean in terms of the clothing?

Thanks. The height of the BofA building?

Just found this: http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=3263

If correct, the BofA building is much taller.

Orvis is like REI, Cabela's, and LL Bean all rolled into one.

BofA building is 250 feet tall.

Not really my type of store, but I'll take another variety of retail store downtown any day. Hopefully they complement Mast well. Geographically, their presence makes a lot of sense with our outdoor offerings. Good grab for Hughes!

Orvis is not taking all of the retail space at that corner. Hughes said there is about 4,000 square feet of retail space still available downstairs and 3,800 square feet upstairs. About 20,000 square feet of office space remains available, he said.

[GvilleSC]

That is in addition to the retail space next to the office entrance on Washington or is that included in this number?

I believe it's in addition.

So how tall is the Aloft hotel. Isn't it something like 8 floors on top of a 2-3 level parking garage?

It's gonna be right around the same height as the phase II (Brooks Brothers) building. 143 feet 10 inches vs 150 feet: http://www.greenvillesc.gov/PlanningZoning/PlanningApplications/Applications/2013/OCTOBER/DesignReviewBoard/10-03-2013/CA-13-215-WestWashingtonandNorthLaurensStreets.pdf

Wasn't it a 5 level garage and a 7 story hotel? So roughly 12 floors?

The top of the BofA building is now lit up.

[GvilleSC]

How does it look?

[gman430]

How does it look?

It looks like they're still testing it out so it's hard to say.

[MAJIKMAN]

I saw that the other night. Looks like it will be the same kind of outfit as RiverPlace. Maybe a little different.

The website is updated. A retail store called Vann & Liv will open next to Orvis on Washington Street.

[gvegascple]

It's not on the One website but Methodical Coffee is saying that they are going into the One plaza (Bank of America, Suite D)

Downtown Greenville needs more women boutiques and coffee shops.

Downtown Greenville needs more women boutiques and coffee shops.

I'd prefer a nice department store and a Target, but at least we have Brooks Brothers, which is mostly men's clothing, and Orvis will be mostly men's clothing and gear, too, and downtown is at least getting a critical mass of stores that will draw more.

On the topic of new stores coming in: surely Orvis at least did a lot of location studies, right, and got information about comparable sales at stores around Main & Washington, right, so Brooks Brothers and Anthropologie must be doing well, right?
