I saw this in the paper this morning.  I couldn't take it all in fast enough!

This is exciting news. I have a friend who's father is a local architect. He just called me to say that his dad is meeting with Gary Player at La Bastide at this very moment.

THAT'S HOT!   the entrance which looks about 50-75% complete looks quite classy.  waterfalls, etc.  i am really glad to hear about the pedestrian village componet.   at the cliffs la bastite development there was to be included a small commercial village modeled after a french town.  must have feel through the vines!

What got me was the the number of lots in each community they have sold compared to the number of homes actually built.

Also, for those that do not know, the Cliffs Heritage project that failed was to be developed on the Hartness Estate with frontage on Garlington and HWY 14.  I am thinking that the regulatory issues involved the airport.

The Heritage project loss was a HUGE bummer for Greenville as it would have included the largest homes the Upstate has ever seen, and would have generated an incredible amount of revenue for the County.

This new development, including the moving of Gary Player's company headquarters, reinforces every positive element we have bragged about Greenville since the start of this online forum.

From what I understand it had more to do with the streams running through (environmental issues).  Unless the buildings were to be 3 stories there wouldn't be an airport issue.  Now that the project is stopped the road should be given back.

Loved Gary Players comment about leaving Palm Beach for Greenville:

“I’ve had offers over the years to go elsewhere, either as a representative or in a playing affiliation. But this is the one we chose.”

What year was it that they planned it?  in 1995 the airport Environs was set up which bans all residential within the evirons, the environs ends at the enoree river, the Hartness estate starts on the other side of the river.  I was thinking that maybe the airport tried to block it before the environs had been set.

BTW, if you ever wondered, that is part of the reason their is so much industrial on certain sections of Pelham and Bateville Rd. becuase homes are not permitted.

Anybody seen the TV commercials they are running for this place?  Excellent!      It shows Gary Player and he's talking about how he could have chosen any place in the world, and he chose here.  Beautiful scenery!  Well done commercial.

[Skyliner]

As always, The Cliffs marketing department has acheived top notch quality in publicity campaigning.  This is one of the reasons for their tremendous success over the past decade.  I applaude them for their efforts.
