Another step forward.
South Elm Development Group has been chosen to be the master developer of Greensboro's South Elm redevelopment site. I believe there were 4 or 5 in the running. For more information here is the link.

Thanks for posting. Soon we may finally see something happen with this.

more info here...Bob Isner, developer of Southside will be partnering with a Durham developer on this project.

"The group is planning for the seven-acre site that straddles South Elm Street south of Lee Street to include 25 townhouse or condo units, 168 residential rental units, ground-floor retail space, restaurants and an "international market place." Chapman also said during that meeting that the group thought the market could support a 75- to 90-room hotel, and that it was exploring using the development as a "downtown university campus" with 15,000 square feet of office space, an esplanade and a wellness center."

No problem. I also am really eager to see this project moving forward.
Does anyone know what the plans are for the Daily Bread Flour building just south of the proposed development? I thought that was going to be redeveloped along with the whole area but its not in the plans.

I think some one purchased the Daily Bread Flour building and its being renovated.

Here is the rendering of the South Elm Lee St project. It will be built in phases over the next ten years and it looks like a hotel will be a part of the project.

I'm really looked forward to seeing this finally get off the ground. I hope this helps spur more development on that side of downtown and will help connect Southside with the mixed use projects UNCG is building along Lee St. I also hope they're able to develop the vacant lots on the northern corners of Lee St. and Elm St. even though they aren't specifically mentioned in the plan.

Thats a very impressive rendering!  I love the scale and density of this vision for South Elm.  i hope it works out.

Is the 10 story condo tower still in the works for this redevelopment project, and the full sized grocer?

I'm not exactly sure. As far as the grocer, I doubt it since Deep Roots, which will be a full service grocery store, will be opening up on the other end of downtown. The project could include something around mid/high-rise, particularly if they build the hotel. I wouldn't expect anything really tall in this project.
