CONSTRUCTION THREAD: ONE Greenville (Main @ Washington)

[SVL]

You won't be disappointed. 

You tease!

The hotel tower is looking good. They've installeda portion of the signage at the top of the building. I'm looking forward to some retail announcements!

I just can't agree. I've said all along this is a great project but simply awful architecture. The dark grey makes this building look like a cinder block sticking up. All box, no character.  One Project had the potential to redefine our skyline in both height and iconic architecture, and failed to do either- IMO.

Well, to each their own opinion. I do not like the Richardson Street side of this block, but the Lauren's Street side has a great texture and material use to bring things down to a pedestrian scale. As for the height, I think these three towers establish a nice base. I like that the gray of this building sets it off from its surroundings. Diversity in exterior cladding helps make things rich in the over scheme of a cityscape, IMO. Either way, it's going to be nice to have our sidewalks back open and the added population in the heart of the City Center.

When I first saw the rendering of Aloft I was on the fence about the blue and yellow stripes. I came across this photo of the Aloft in Asheville and think it looks pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing it now.

It should be noted that all space in the building is leased...that should say greats about the Greenville market.

Is that just the RETAIL space or the Office space too?

Sorry, should have been more clear. Retail is all taken. Haven't heard anything on office though it wouldn't surprise me. 

[SVL]

This is the lay out of what's left open in retail. Pretty cool if they already have them filled up. Can't wait to see what's coming.

Construction of the public restrooms on the One Plaza appears to have started.

The structure over the Laurens Street pedestrian way is in the process of being installed. It will definitely be a unique element. Looking forward to this thing finishing up. The pedestrian experience should be top notch!

Agreed. Laurens Street is going to be an amazing part of downtown. I really like the idea of having a pedestrian only street and I wonder if any other areas could be converted into pedestrian only. Brown Street comes to mind.

I always thought Coffee would be good since it ends on Main anyway.

It's amazing what a waste of space the Greenville Transit Authority building has become, with all of the development occurring around it. Hopefully something with more height and usability can go there in the not-too-distant future.

Thats one really short white car there!

Wes Townson, vice president of acquisitions for The McKibbon Hotel Group, also participated in the Power Event and spoke on the Aloft Hotel on North Laurens Street.

“We are in Phase III in collaboration with Hughes Development and the city. We’re finishing out the development around One City Plaza in the heart of downtown,” Townson said, who added that tenant announcements are expected in the next 30 days for some of the retail space at Aloft.

Should be some interesting announcements coming up.

 

[GvilleSC]

I look forward to hearing what tenants they've brought in!

Is Wynit taking over old Certus space only, or are they taking the last floor in the 2nd Phase also?

Good news regardless. Hope they continue to grow there.
