CONSTRUCTION THREAD: McBee Station

[gs3]

Saw the bullseye for the first time yesterday. Looks like about 1/4 turns the corner. Great work erm!

Thanks gsupstate. Its a little odd that it turns the corner but its a little unique being that way. Oh and the staples is going up pretty quick now.

I finally saw the bullseye today driving over the Church St. bridge. That thing is sweeet. Also, they have begun to put steel beams in between the Publix and McBee Avenue for residences, retail, whatever it's supposed to be.

I took three pictures, but accidently deleted the one I took of the Staples going up. I can tell you though it's almost half way up. Here are the other two I took:

WAHOO! The condos and retail is going up (correct?)!!!!!

[g-man430]

^^^YES!!!!

[erm1981]

yep and there should be one more steel floor on top of the two they already have. 50 feet high is what i heard.

At last I got a photo of erm's bullseye!

[g-man430]

^^^Yep, that's it. It is definitely different, but in a very good way. Great work Erm and great pic maninthepark.

[RestedTraveler]

Excellent! The famous bullseye! Publix logo will go inside this bullseye?

[erm1981]

^^^Yep, and it will hang out 3 ft in the air.

I'm glad that picture was posted. I had no idea what this bulls eye was

[GE Turbine Man]

Yea, I saw that the other day from church street and thought to myself "I wonder if thats the bullseye???"

Nice to get a confirmation. Seems like if you were going to call it a bullseye though, it should be in the middle of the wall... Looks to me like they "missed" But it will look cool with a 3 ft overhang to complete it.

Looks like there is a lot of steel going up in the back to, perhaps the retail around the anchors are starting to take shape?

Does anyone know when a list of additional tenants will be released for McBee? I just heard two national specialty chains that apparently are coming. Both are somewhat average, neither extremely special, but they are the kind of specialty you would expect to find in a center anchored by grocery. One is new to the Greenville market . I'd like to know if there is a tenant list out, so I can confirm what I heard.

Hmmm. so potentially 4 national retailers entering at once? interesting!

Any news on McBee?

[g-man430]

The brick on the Publix is almost finished if not done already and the same type of brick is now going up on the Staples. It looked to be about 1/4 of the way up the building when I drove by yesterday. It also looked like they were getting ready to start building the apartments and that other building that is supposed to be a bank I think.

Sounds good, I'm depending on you guys for pictures and everything.

Same here! How's the weather in Boston?

[jarvismj]

I survived the Noreaster, other than that, before the storm, Greenville has gotten more snow than us the entire winter. The cold is an entirely different cold up here than it is down in SC. I can't make up my mind which I like better, because I don't like cold weather either way.

Anyways, I'm hoping to fly back down there sometime in July, and be able to see all the changes to Greenville that have happened since Christmas. McBee is really going to interest me, seeing how that I still have no need for Woodruff Rd, I won't want to go down there for anything.

Sorry this is so late. I shot a few photos this past weekend, but haven't had time to upload them yet.

Here is one to show some of the progress on McBee Station:

Here are a couple additional photos from this past weekend. Today the project has much more steel erected.

^^^Great pics Skyliner. I drove by this site yesterday on the way to the groundbreaking at the Pinnacle and it seems to be really moving along fast now. Can't wait to see the finished product.
