The West End

[vicupstate]

Is this a new developer or just a new tenant ?  Is the building closer to Academy included in the project?  Excellent find, btw.

[goodbye]

The information shared with the local news agencies earlier this year said Grape and Grains would be expanding into three vacant warehouses on Markley Street in the West End (shown to be the same location formerly eyed by oobē). They apparently plan to open a larger retail shop, winery, and brewery. That would make it the fifth commercial beer brewery in Greenville.

Anyone know the Grape and Grains folks?  I'd love it if they would start a BOP (Brew on Premises) service for homebrewers without space/equipment to brew at home.

I know them. I think they do that already, or with wine at least.

Shhh...

The new plans call for renovations of 42,000 square feet of space, known as The Depot. The development could include office, retail or restaurant space, a courtyard, on-site parking, streetscaping and patios on both the ground level and rooftops.

The Andersons are currently recruiting interested tenants to be a part of the redevelopment. The husband-wife duo plans to move their own Greenville business, Grape and Grains, into roughly 10,000 square feet of the development sometime next year. Grape and Grains is a winery, brewery and home brew supply store.

I don't care for the design, but glad to see new businesses.

Journal TBA:

Gville Transit Authority may be finally making it's long rumored move away from Augusta St. Word is Laurens road could be new home.

[goodbye]

That is welcome news. My imagination can run wild with development concepts for that chunk of valuable real estate.

Agreed. Initial thought was hope for ground floor parking / overhead residential (along stadium line of property) and ground floor retail with overhead "cool / tech" warehouse type space along Augusta St., underwritten by the GLDC, as discussed on page 71-72 of the Greenville Master Plan (Sasaki, 6/2008). I hope downtown continues to push for additional residential space and knowledge business space - even if development is subsidized by GLDC. 

 

I wonder too if the city could get the parcel next to the transit authority if it grants the Cureton estate's wishes to demolish the house across the street so the children's theater could build there? That would give the city a very large parcel to develop...

[vicupstate]

I seem to remember that the Transit property already includes the Children's Theater property. Probably gave them a cheap lease.

Does anybody know the current status of Stadium Apartments? Is it dead?

It would seem that way, but I'm not sure. What about Croft's?

[ausrutherford]

Both are still listed on the city website.

[gman430]

Croft's project isn't slated to start construction until late Summer 2013 and the Stadium Apartments site is still for sale according to Coldwell Banker Caine 's website.

I might have been dreaming but I could have sworn I saw orange and white construction barricades up around the GTA building on Augusta Street next to the bus maintenance facility yesterday.

What is the current status of this proposed project? A commercial real estate sign out front indicates the property remains "available".

They're definitely there.

The owners of Grape and Grains on Mauldin Road have plans to spread out their retail shop, winery and brewery across three vacant warehouses on Markley Street.

Any news on this? 

I believe the Keller Williams proposal is for 110 N. Markley and is separate from these buildings.

Anybody I know what is being built next to AJ Wittenberg Elementary?

[btoy]

Looks like a parking lot for the trail.

[Galley]

Looks like a parking lot for the trail.

A trailhead is already planned for the empty lot on the other side of the river.

[NBNY2GRNVL]

I hope it's a McDonald's.

What is the current status of Stadium Apartments and Tom Croft's Rhett Street project?

[GvilleSC]

Do you know something we don't?
