110 E. Court St / 125 E. Broad St.

Yup, only 5 story's. I think originally was going to be taller but nixed down to current size. Our company will be on 2 floors along with our current building (one connected via the sky bridge). The historical building that we use will be turned over I'm assuming for whoever wants it.

The rendering from Church Street shows it as seven stories.

[GvilleSC]

Nice to see, but should the words/phrases "change the skyline" and "signature building" be used for any 5 story building? I don't think so.

"

I certainly do not see anything really signature about the design. I think the writer should have said "change to the cityscape" or "urban fabric".

But anyway, I think the height will provide a nice layering effect from the East. It's a nice infill development for sure.

Looks like this one is about to start up. Survey markers and utility spray paint markings all over the place.

Looks like a solid project with solid architecture; certainly infinitely better than the surface lot that's currently there.

The design reminds me of the most recent proposal for the office building on the Greenville News site. It's definitely a good infill type of building.

What's the current status of this project? Nothing seems to be going on.

i assumed the sewer(?) work along McBee was associated w this project?

Yes, they had to move the water line out of the old ROW.

Yup, lots of stuff going on. Good pics gman430. I took a few walking through the parking lot just to document everything. Going to be neat once it's all done.

And construction cams!

On Monday City Council approved $10mm for the parking garage construction.

[GvilleSC]

Have you all noticed how close the new parking garage is to the Church Street bridge? It's almost alarming.

[vicupstate]

I noticed yesterday you can spot at least six cranes from the Church Street bridge. 

[SVL]

Check out this rendering. It is indeed very close to the bridge.

Now that the Hyatt Place Hotel is going up on Broad, you have to wonder how much longer before those two single story buildings on Broad next to the Church Street bridge and this new garage get redeveloped.  They are certainly in a prime spot now.

Also the historic building where Northampton Wines is located.  Surely someone will want to tear that down to make way for another big bland box.

Doubt that will be allowed. 

 

Interesting that the rendering has a new streetscape on Broad.

Yup it is quite close. Especially if you walk to publix and look at it from McBee. I'm envisioning a movie sequence/car chase where the guy is trapped at the top of the garage and boom! Flies over the garage to Church St. and escapes...

I like it! Greenville, the location for the next Jason Bourne film!

I was only half kidding, but nothing would surprise me.  Greenville doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to clearing out something historic to make way for the latest trend.

It doesn't, but I doubt the DRB would allow a building now unless their structural issues or the building isn't architecturally significant for the area. I believe that building would be.

That building was a brew pub/restaurant back in the day, maybe 15 years ago. I can't remember the name. Anybody remember this?

Big River Brewing company, and Spaghetti Warehouse before that.   Was really bummed when SW closed.
