New Greenville developments

[Jagsfan]

-Also, I have received word from the Shopping Center Group that construction on the proposed shopping center at the Saco Lowell site is expected to begin in early 2007 or maybe even before that. This is great news as i'm moving into a new house later this month that is located less than 2 miles from that site.

Any further updates on this one? I live fairly close to the area and attend church just down Saco Lowell Rd from the old plant. Also played football out there a couple weekends back so I guess I might need to find another open field soon for playing football

On the DPC agenda for this month:

There's certainly interest still being shown by developers downtown. Even with all the delays and roadblocks with projects, it's nice to know we'll be getting quality developments in due time.

I wonder how difficult it will be for the 8-story condo on Rhett Street and the 7-story building on E. Washington to get approval? I see the 8-story building being the less likely of the two, since some will probably say that it is too tall given the surrounding structures.

Isn't the Rhett st one the one that was proposed earlier at 10 stories?

[RestedTraveler]

Isn't the Rhett st one the one that was proposed earlier at 10 stories?

I believe it is, yes.

[Greenville]

I believe it is, yes.

Perhaps the DPC asked them to scale it back to 8 stories in order to approve it. I would take that compromise, especially if it is the difference between seeing this happen and having it rejected.

You may have noticed that the old Jeff Lynch building on Pleasantburg has been razed and site work is beginning on the new retail development there. I checked the Hughes Development website and looked at the site plan. The 3 tenant spaces labeled so far are: Moe's Southwest Grill, Shanes' Rib Shack and Great Clips. I live in this vicinity so am very happy to see this project!

Anyone have experience with Shane's Rib Shack? http://www.shanesribshack.com/index.html

Here's the link to the Hughes info page about this project: http://208.56.170.51/properties/index.php?...p;realty-id=31#

Moe's and Starbucks so close together....oooooh. That'll save me a drive. I've no experience with Shane's, but it looks interesting.

I eaten at Shanes before. It is EXCELLENT! I'm happy to hear about it coming to Greenville. It's a must if you're in the area

Methinks Shane needs to join me on the walking trails at Furman every evening.

[distortedlogic]

7 Story at 100 E. Washington. That sounds like the Bookends Phase 2.

I thought it could be the KDS development at main, but you are probably right.

Are you thinking about Main @ McBee? KDS is developing it, and it's address is 17 S. Main St. (I just looked it up). That is one block from Washington.

I am fairly confident that Main St. divides Washington into E. Washington and W. Washington. I am not sure where the Bookends Phase II will be on E. Washington, but that seems like a good guess by vicupstate - especially since we recently heard that it will be 7-8 stories tall.

Does anyone know what is going in to the old Rhodes (previously Phar Mor) building on Haywood Road? We were at Cheeseburger in Paradise last weekend and couldn't help but notice the construction going on there.

Does anyone know what is going in to the old Rhodes (previously Phar Mor) building on Haywood Road? We were at Cheeseburger in Paradise last weekend and couldn't help but notice the construction going on there.

Per RT in the Recent Marketing thread, this is a Steve and Barry's University sportswear.

You called it. They're going in where Rhodes Furniture on Haywood Road used to be.

FULL STORY.

A former part of the Fluor campus across from the Haywood Mall has been bought and is in the planning stages to hopefully becoming residential, retail, and possibly office space. The timeline is looking to be a year before building and then two years to build... They say it's on the scope of what's been built in ATL and Charlotte and they say that they think Greenville is ready for it.

Hopefully the residential component will be significant (all within reason of how much can be held and desired of course). This sounds like a great thing for Greenville and great infill for the city and especially for Haywood Rd.

This sounds like a nice development in the midtown area. I hope it happens!

[distortedlogic]

Sounds cool! The article says they are talking to city planners. Is this parcel in the city, if not does that mean it will be annexed? Anybody have any insight on which developments in Atlanta and Clt they are referrring to? Just trying to get a picture of what we are talking about.

[vicupstate]

It is already in the city. I am picturing a mixed use project with residential coupled with retail and/or office. There is nothing currently built like that in Gville, but many on the drawing board.

The Journal TBA column out today says a shopping center on Wade Hampton is a possibility, and it may get annexed to Gville. The Winn Dixie Distribution Center??

A few notes from the DPC meeting yesterday

The house that is located on 427 Rutherford road (Has been marked for demolition and located in front of the Salvation army) was approved to be moved to the Hampton-Pinckney neighborhood for restoration and use as a residence. This should be interesting and good luck to the brave new owners!

The eight story condo building located on Rhett street was approved with changes from prevent meeting

I had to leave at that point but other major items on the agenda were:

Build a nine unit townhouse development on Rhett street

Build a seven story mixed use building on 100 West Washington Street (Bookends phase 2)?

Preliminary Comments -on the proposed new 14-story building at the corner of N. Main and Elford streets.

I assume this is the Pinnacle but it seemed strange to me for this project to be at the preliminary comments stage?

But was not there to hear what was going on, if any body has any more information please post.

I noticed as I was driving down Stallings Road (in Taylors) today that one of the empties in the small set of shops near the intersection of Rutherford and Stallings has a large sign hanging inside that said "The Plaid Pelican". I know this was the restaurant previously mentioned as going into the West End. Does this mean they are opneing two or did something happen w/the one in West End?

There appears to be a new cafe and coffee shop moving in next to the Dollar General on Poinsett Highway, just outside of Downtown.

The TBA said it would be in city limits, not Greenville's. I think the site referenced is at Wade Hampton and St. Marks Rd., developers of that site have asked about coming in to Greer to get sewer because of Taylors Sewer moratorium.

The Plaid Pelican will not be opening in the West End any longer.

The Value Place motel at the intersection of I-85 and Pleasantburg Drive is now topped out at 4-stories tall as is the Staybridge Suites at the Point that is 3-stories tall.

Is the Value Place visble from 85? I guess I just haven't noticed if it is...

I am not sure if anyone posted this yet, but at the end of October, the GADC reported that the Caterpillar plant in Fountain Inn is expanding once again. This will add even more engineering jobs to the county. Greenville recently ranked #1 in the U.S. for engineers per capita. This news should bolster that ranking.
