Interesting. I think it's good to know that this is a viable parcel for development (with the willingness of the owners to sell). I wonder if this actually will be related at all to Riverplace in the end? Nonetheless, it's a prime plot of land for a mixed-use midrise!

At least one parcel is in the name of Riverplace Office III, LLC c/o Hughes Investments.

The Real Estate sign has been removed...looks like the building has been painted and there was a moving truck by the front door today. Anyone know anything?

I'm sure most of you are aware that the daytime TV soap show 'As The World Turns' recently shot a few scenes in Greenville. Below is a video of a portion of an episode with the Greenville-Pickens Speedway (0:38) and Falls Park on the Reedy (5:20). A large poster of a recent G Magazine cover also made an appearance in the show (3:37).

Other portions of the show have a few nice shots of Downtown:

New Feature

Spartan — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:34:21 +0000

Urban Planet's newest feature is the Project Database. This will replace the former wiki system that we were trying to develop. This system is editable by members, and we need you to help get it going. I've started with on entry in the Greenville Projects section, and several in the Spartanburg section if you want to see examples of what this can be over time. You may have already noticed the link at the top of the Greenville forum.

Please let me know if you have any questions, thoughts, or comments on it.

This will eventually replace the Highrise Index thread, however I dont want to start by only adding the dead or on hold projects

When someone knows for a fact that Apple is coming to Greenville, please let us know.

Well fact, a couple of years ago Apple was signed on for Magnolia....Magnolia wavered and Apple walked. One can only assume Haywood, but I don't know that as fact. Someone on here post eveytime a space opens at Haywood that it is Apple, though I doubt that poster really knows....just making guesses.

Knowing Apple had signed for Magnolia, logically, they would still be looking for the right place in this market.

The St. Joe company who is the financial backer mentioned is a HUGE company. They are a paper company they owned huge chunks of property in the panhandle area down from Panama City Beach where they grew the trees necessary for paper production. They have since started to develop a large portion of that property into residential development along the Forgotten Coast beaches. Port St. Joe is the town named after the St. Joe Company which is about 30 minutes from Panama City Beach.

Just because they are buying the parcels does not mean that the phases will be rearranged. Without a compeling reason, I doubt they would do so.

Is the warehouse parcel the one Tom Croft owned for the 8-floor condo building?

Whoever said phases would be rearranged? No, this site that Hughes has bought is across Rhett Street from that.

The Hughes have purchased at least two parcels next to Riverplace. One being the large warehouse that had a electrical company in it that is bordered by Rhett, River and Camperdown and the other a smaller building adjacent to it on River Street. Looks like they are getting land for a phase 4.

Hmmm, that's interesting, but I would like to see the rest of Phase 2 completed and something cool happen with Phase 3 first.

Greenville Photo of the Day

Spartan — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:11:42 +0000

For those that use Flickr, if you tag your photos of Greenville in the Urbanplanet Flickr group with the tag "greenville" (please note the lack of a comma) they will show up on the Greenville City Page, which has been revamped along with the rest of the site (http://greenville.urbanplanet.org).

Just to give y'all a heads up, Neo is going to be releaseing a new feature of UrbanPlanet today that will make this thread unnecessary. It will be a much better way to keep track of all projects, and members will be able to add and maintain this data. I did a couple of test entries for Spartanburg, but I intend to help with the Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston data too (as time allows of course )

Panama City along with the airport didn't give any money and is not covering any losses to Southwest Airlines. A local developer out of that area did. Airports are forbidden under FAA guidelines from giving incentives to airlines to expand into their area. Oh and another article on GSP here: http://www.ipubviewer.com/display_article.php?id=250701
