CONSTRUCTION THREAD: Ridgeland at the Park

[gs3]

[gs3]

These are going up quick guys. If you haven't driven by lately, check them out. Even though they are only 3 and 4 floors, with them being located on the hill overlooking the park, they feel very urban.

This development is really picking up steam. Looks like 5 or so of the buildings are underway. This one is the furthermost along. Such a great setting for upscale condos.

between this and The Terraces its good to see at least a coiuple projects are moving alog nicely.

I heard today at lunch with some friends of another development in the works of the same calibre as Ridgeland. It would also be located around Cleveland Park. I didn't get much info. Anybody heard word about this?

[gs3]

Windows are in and the beautiful stonework has started:

Thanks for the photo update, gsupstate! I was by there last weekend and could hardly believe how much has been built on that site. It is a perfect fit for that neighborhood, and really an excellent place to live, next to the parks and on the edge of downtown. Beautiful!

You're right. they really are perfect for Alta Vista.

What are the boundaries of the Alta Vista area?

What are the boundaries of the Alta Vista area?

The areas surrounding McDaniel and Crescent Avenues has been my unofficial boundaries. You can't go too far out, otherwise you're mixing the "typical" Augusta Road people with the "Elite" of Augusta Road people. And we wouldn't want that now would we?

[charlie swords]

when i drove by today after work the fountain on the corner that faces McDaniel was running...i suppose they were just testing it. I didn't even know here was going to be a fountain....

Just a couple of things I have heard or seen about the Ridgland

They have contracts on 13 units which is enough contracts for them to start a third building.

As the weather has warmed up and people can see some construct sales activity has dramatically increased.

The sales price per unit has increased about $50,000.00 per unit with the highest priced units going for $750,000.00 per unit at this time.

The sales office is planned to be demolished end of summer to make room for the last building.

The last building was suppose to contain six unit but maybe changed to three unit, if so these last three units will sale for 1Million + each.

Maybe some of these people will help our per house hold income downtown and we can get a Family dollar store downtown.

Movin' on up!

Come on guys, I know you are being sarcastic, but when you do, why not use the emoticon to show it.

By the way, I don't ever want to see a dollar store downtown. That would be a very bad sign, in my opinion. There is one just outside of downtown on Poinsett Highway, but that is as close as any should be built. Call me crazy.

Wow. Didn't realize these were going for this kind of pricepoint. Good to see.

[goodbye]

I actually have a photo update to share! While several of the buildings have yet to come up out of the ground, a couple are well under construction as you can see in the photos below. I have to say again, this is about as perfect a location to live as anywhere else in the city. It is at the edge of downtown and halfway surrounded by beautiful interconnecting parks. Enjoy!

If I were moving into the city this would be my pick.

Thanks for the update Skyliner,Great pics.!

A couple of shots from my unofficial tour of the ridgeland to add to skyliners update.

Great room of upper unit.

[RestedTraveler]

This an outstanding development. It'd be my pick as well if moving into Downtown Greenville were the direction that life had in store for me. There are going to be some very lucky homeowners here.

[gs3]

These are really looking nice. Copper roofing is being added, but couldn't get an angle to really show it. Beautiful! Thought the name being engraved in the stone fountain area on the corner was a nice touch.

How are these coming? And does anyone know how sales are?

[goodbye]

They are beautiful.

[GvilleSC]

3 more have the first floor framed. Will these be the last 3, bringing the total to 6, or is it 7 total?
