New Greenville developments

[MAJIKMAN]

Here is what I found in the Public Notice for the next zoning commision meeting.

V 06-18. Variance to reduce the front setback from 10 feet to 0 feet at 301 Augusta Street (TMS #91.1-3-4). The applicant is PHC Communities, LLC (286-9578).

BTW, PHC is the company that was going to do that Tower at Falls and Broad.

Well, I have heard that someone is going to build or is trying to building a five storey condo building there. Actually, if I thinking correctly that building across from that lot. Plus the building behind it and the lawyer's office. If you wondering how I know about that. Well I asked.

So you are not speaking about the graded spot with the zoning sign, but rather the spot across University Ridge, correct? That would be a very nice place for such a residential project, IMO!

Has anybody mentioned or noticed the Public Hearing sign out in front of the big green monster on the corner of Augusta/River/Main? Seems like someone may have mentioned it already, but I only just noticed it this afternoon (didn't even see it last night). Hopefully the developer will have better luck with the DPC this time.

It is probably something to do with the "sidewalk quotes" proposed for the West End.

Oh please somebody tell me it's for more than just that. Please tell me that this monstrosity of a building is coming down soon and will be replaced with something more suited to the area that isn't on the verge of a collapse (the building, not the area).

No. Thats my bad. If there was some confusion. The building is going on the graded spot. Right next to the restaraunt. But yeah, I have heard some folk talking about the other buildings as well.

Wow, a five-story structure on that spot would be impressive. It is a rather small footprint.

I have seen the drawings, can't commnet, but it is not 5 stories.

I just noticed today that Greenville FIRST has their signs up on the oldest of the Bonaventure buildings on Verdae Blvd. The signs are huge and impressive. It's good to see these buildings filling up more space. They will be setting the pace for future office space at Verdae.

TBA in today's Journal says that Ron Vergnolle, who was behind the Vineyards at North Main, is one of the developers. No reference was made to the number of floors.

[btoy]

That is right, he is the Principle of PHC COmmunities who made the applcation to zoning to have the setbacks removed.

Is this the same project the DPC voted for against that's located at the intersection of S. Main Street and Augusta Road across the street from the Army surplus store?

No, this is a outdoor dining restaurant on S. Main on the vacant lot next to the building where American Apperal was going to go. The Kitchen will be in the small building on the left side of the lot.

Thanks, btoy. Where exactly is this vacant lot located? Is it between West End Field and Augusta St/Rd. on Main or is it somewhere else? I just felt like posting this: -I'm gonna pump you up

Despite the housing market rapidly cooling off across the nation, Greenville County is experiencing a 13% increase over last year in new homes built. Aside from the incredible growth in the local tourism industry, the real estate market has remained Greenville's strongest asset since 2001.

Wow! Last year was a huge year for construction, so a 13% increase is incredible. Do you know anything about average new construction prices? With all the neighborhoods going up over 300k, it woul dhave to be up there. What was your source?

[goodbye]

One source most would recognize in the Upstate is WYFF 4. They aired the story several days ago.

The City has finally (re)opened a weekend visitor center! This is so vital to the overall success of the marketing efforts of our great amenities. Think how many visitors don't know where to look for some of the best surprises.

[goodbye]

The former Maureen's location is looking absolutely fabulous! Can't wait to see what goies into this new storefront.

I miss the inside visitor information desk being open from 9am - 4pm on Saturdays and the info kiosk at the entrance to Falls park. Are you certain this is a permanent fixture, though, or has it been opened for the period around the US Pro Cycling Championships? It'd be nice if it were open at least from Memorial Day through Labor Day each summer.

This does look great!!! What a great addition to Main Street. Is it only 2 stories front and back?
