The Village at Sandhill

[krazeeboi]

Yeah, it really is its own city out that way.

[Temeteron]

NE Cola is probably the 2nd or 3rd most populous suburb of Columbia.....i dont know why everyone keeps thinking NE Columbia is the sticks or something....its growing at the same rate if not an even faster rate than Irmo, Lower Richland, Lexington, etc...

[sonofaque86]

In the magazine they have out here they said that NE will have over 100,000 residents by 2010....I believe it with all this growth.

[TheSuperPope]

Does anyone know about how much of NE is in the city limits? Also, if anyone knows the current population figures for the area out there, that would be good to know too.

[sonofaque86]

Columbia has been annexing off of Clemson Rd. and Sizable amounts off of Spears Church Creek rd in elgin zip code

[GamecockEngineer]

I think widening/expanding Clemson Road into Killian Road and providing the connection with I-77 is one reason the area is booming. If that connection to I-77 had not been made, the only major road to VAS would have been Two Notch. Last time I drove down Killian/Clemson Road, I felt like I was in a suburb of Atlanta. Kinda Scary.

you felt like you were in Atlanta? haha, that is hilarious.....not quite! maybe in 2107

[krazeeboi]

^Suburb of Atlanta he said. And honestly NE Columbia does resemble some parts of the Galleria/Vinings area of Cobb County.

True. I'm actually planning to go to this center in the next month or two when I go down to Columbia. Looks really big and nice.

[krazeeboi]

I was actually impressed the first time I drove through there. I think someone said the first phase of condos were almost completed.

[Temeteron]

And Arizona's Steakhouse is finally open!

[803metlife]

With already a near 100 shops, banks and eateries at the Village at Sandhill. Kahn Development Co. is plowing ahead to add at least 200,000 square feet of retail space at the three-year-old center. The next phase

[johnpro318]

what is this sandhill station? more shops? or is condos/houses/offices?

[krazeeboi]

Looks like it's mostly retail.

[Temeteron]

A gym is the only thing that is missing IMO.......an upscale gym!

[TheSuperPope]

Upscale gyms are overrated... they're for the people that have to be seen in the gym so that everyone knows they workout there. Give me something like the Blatt or someone's basement filled with weights anyday over the new Gold's. (sorry for the rant)

VAS is crazy already, and I can't wait until construction begins on the Station.

[Temeteron]

What is so wrong with being seen? Why are people in Columbia so conservative?

[sonofaque86]

Just came from VAS. and it was literally hundreds of hundreds of people out there and its only half of the development! It's like a town you gotta see it on a Friday/Saturday night!

[waccamatt]

Why is the lack of wanting to be shallow conservative?

[TheSuperPope]

^^ Exactly, I dont consider myself conservative at all (despite what my screenname might represent). I just do not really care if people see me and know that I work out... if they can't tell by me in my everyday life, then I'm obviously not doing it hard enough. Wow thats off topic

I drove out to VAS today after work and it was absolutely PACKED, but I didn't see any lights on in the windows of the condos. I wonder if they are selling as planned and if people really even live in them.

Same here; I'm probably to the left of Ralph Nader, but I go to the gym to work out, not to be seen. Of course I do my share of checking out the scenery while there - it's good motivation.

[johnpro318]

love going fri. night. makes me feel like a teenage again with all the people. well, a younger teenager...lol

lots of people = exciting

[Spartan]

Lets get back on topic folks.

[Chtimi]

Because VAS is a mixed-use development and not just a shopping enclave.

Or a new town ? VAS seems to be a new centrality, a "village" instead of a larger sprawl.

[Temeteron]

Atlanta Bread Company has closed...i had a feeling it was only a matter of time...that place had the worst service ever! (Panera will probably take its place, its better anyways). Also, Grilled Cheese has closed. They had the worst location though, on the far North Springs side of Bi-Lo....it wasnt really visible cuz another building blocked the view from North Springs road. Meanwhile, Village Bistro has opened, and from the looks of it, there is another bank going up next to BB&T....why isnt there a Bank Of America at VAS is what me and my friends are trying to figure out?!
