Church St. Development

[Gville2012]

Another Church St. Development: 6 story -- Commercial on first floor, 5 story of condos (2 per floor) above. This is next to Zaxby's and across from South Ridge - http://sc-greenville.civicplus.com/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/2253?fileID=6271

Also, the lot across from the Brio and at the tail end of South Ridge seems to have some action on it over the past few weeks. They are clearing some of the brush and the houses down Pearl on the same side of the street have all been surveyed. Anyone know if anything is going on here?

The Pearl Street parcels are all owned by David Stone I believe. He also owns the big 3+ acres site across from Sirrine that is on Pearl.

Yes, I knew about that. Just thought it was interesting only one side was being surveyed and the big corner lot was being cleaned up. Could just be some maintenance work.

I'll be interested in seeing more on the design later, but I love the concept! I like development of misrises on Church Street.

Me too. The drive down Church Street into downtown will be dramatically different in the near future.

This has been worked on for a long time and threw a lot of changes. Glad it has gotten to this.

Church and Wakefield strip center redevelopment

While certainly an improvement, it would be nice to get a 'demo and start over' project on this site. 

Whatever happened to the 5 or 6 story project (offies/retail and condos) that was going direct across Wakefield from this site?

At the corner of Church St/Pearl Ave:

Driving by this morning, I saw the sign and thought it was just more typical boxy apartments, but apparently it's some kind of self storage/ fast food drive through combination.  I hate seeing these self storage units being put in such prominent locations.  Definitely not the type of mixed use neighborhood center envisioned in the Haynie Sirrine master plan.

Good luck getting that through the DRB.

Is this on the North side of Pearl or the South side in front of The Brio parking lot?

The website has a countdown clock with 6 days left. Is that the time they expect to be told to get lost? That area has very restrictive zoning, they might as well look elsewhere.

Looks like the site is between Southridge and Pearl Avenue on the same side of Church Street as the Brio.

And you thought Walmart got denied quick. This thing will be dead before it even goes for approval. The developer wasn’t thinking at all.

Yeah, self storage seems like a terrible idea for this area. I will say this though, it doesn't look any worse than some of the other things DRB  has approved. Cough... Scott Towers site... cough ... Aloft Hotel....

I disagree. This isn't even good by Storage building standards. 

Scott Towers is public hosuing, so you can't expect it to use high end materials or cutting edge architecture.  Plus it will be hidden from the primary street. Aloft is not great but it isn't horrible either.
