Courier Square

[krazeeboi 115]

Due to the sheer size and scope of this project, I believe it deserves its own thread. 

 

The project, part of a long-term redevelopment of 12 acres, includes apartments, office and retail space on 2.8 acres at the corner of Meeting and Columbus streets. Development will happen in 6 phases with buildings inside the area boxed in by St. Phillips, Spring, Meeting and Line Streets.

 

Earlier this week, BAR decided a few changes will need to be made before the project can go any further. Evening Post Industries, which is spearheading the project, is still hoping to start construction on phase one in the fall of 2014.

 

Here are a few proposed renderings:

Courier Square will be a test case for a new "100/30 Urban Street" height district.  It allows for taller buildings in exchange for wider sidewalks lined with retail.  The proposal still has to go before City Council for final approval.

The developer that bought the BiLo/Piggly Wiggly site is negotiating with prospective tenants for a mixed-use mid-rise development. The city is trying to get the developer to agree on providing a full service grocery within the new development.
