BridgeWay Station mixed use development-Mauldin, SC

[gman430]

I don’t like it.  The architecture is nice but how much of the site plan is going to be ruined now because of this? Reminds me how Cabela’s ruined Magnolia Park. 
 

Edit: On second thought I guess it depends exactly where on the site the stadium will be located. If it’s on the end like the Atlanta Braves stadium is then maybe it won’t be so bad especially if it’s integrated properly like theirs is at the Battery. It will only take up six out of 40 acres within the development also.

Will the Greenville Triumph now be called the Mauldin Triumph?

It's still in Greenville county so it still counts!

Looks nice but not a fan of the light  poles They look rather high school stadium-ish.  I know it's just a rendering but surely they could do some nicer looking light supports.

Still don't see this place attracting that many retail stores with Woodruff rd so close by so they have to fill it with something. They could attract a lot more events than soccer also  including American football. Would be good for the hotels and restaurants around the Mauldin/Sville area.

I resemble this remark.... there's folks moving here specifically because we have this magnet store.  Magnolia Park was a poorly designed shopping venue...unlikely it would attract as many shoppers without Cabela's.

No. Mauldin is a suburb like every other town in Greenville county. It benefits from urban Greenville. Most folks don't even know that's Mauldin.

Wow, a Hughes development with a large publicly funded anchor. What a novel concept!

It'll get built. He really doesn't need their money. Read more deeply. That was one option.

There is nothing in the article that references anything about alternatives. If he built it himself as designed without public money, he would look pretty greedy and foolish. It would certainly poison the well for similar projects.

Again. Reread the article where he says this doesn't kill it. It'll get done one way or another. I believe him.

I wouldn't expect him to say differently, but hoping there is a way to still get it done and actually having a viable alternative aren't the same thing. Either Mauldin is going to have to put more money into the project or he is, or he has to go with a different location altogether.   I believe he will return with a different proposal but it may not succeed either.

How will doing this on his own be greedy? How would it poison the well for similar projects?

Because it would illustrate that he didn't need the County's tax payer money from the start...

Until somebody can explain to me how putting this soccer stadium in the sprawling suburbs over downtown is a good idea, I am against any taxpayer dollars going towards it. Not only that but this soccer stadium would ruin the site plan for Bridgeway Station the same Cabela’s ruined Magnolia Park’s.

What are the uses that the stadium would replace in the Bridgeway master plan.

Maybe the circa 2023 ruins located next to the future Olive Garden?

Well, look at the current overall site plan on page 4 here: 

https://listingsprod.blob.core.windows.net/ourlistings-usa/cde3fc6a-b525-46ae-8858-570eb75345e5/d1493996-a232-4276-a99f-af72f3c95464

Do you see a soccer stadium? I sure don’t. It has to go somewhere which seems something would have to be taken away to make way for it. That’s exactly what happened when Cabela’s announced their Magnolia Park location. It completely ruined what would have been a beautiful mixed use development.

I would assume it is taking the place of the building marked as "E" entertainment venue?   

I wish this whole project would just go away.

No, It would be going where G, H, and I are. E is actually moving forward and part of phase 1. Probably a movie theater or bowling alley for that space. 

If I had to pick between County Square and Bridgeway Station succeeding, it would definitely be County Square.

I forget.  What is going on all the Stone and Joyner property in the Haynie Sirrine area close to County Square?  Just housing, or is there space for something like this?

This is nothing like Magnolia. Smh. They have already started on a very unique building. You see nothing like that at any shopping development in the area.

[vicupstate]

Magnolia did morph from a Town Center concept to what you see today. That very unique building is run of the mill tilt-up construction.

I am really trying to understand how this makes sense and am drawing a blank. He will greedily use his own money instead of asking the city put it up? I’m a small sample size but I get the sense that developers are more popular when they don’t use public money.
