Table 301 to open restaurant at Bridgeway Station. 
 
The restaurant will occupy approximately 5,000 square feet on the second floor of a corner building overlooking the project’s grand plaza and Main Street. The unique space will feature approximately 2,162 square feet of outdoor balcony dining.
 
Details regarding the restaurant’s concept, name, and menu features are still in the development phase.

“Carl [Sobocinski] and Table 301 have done so much for Greenville’s growth and success, and we feel strongly that his leadership, creativity, and passion will have a similar positive influence on the community at BridgeWay Station. We are excited to see what he comes up with for this new location!” - Phil Hughes, Owner and President of Hughes Investments, Inc.

I wonder if this is Nico Abello's new restaurant.

3 of final 4 tenants for BridgeWay Station include 'upscale' Mexican restaurant

•El Guapo Mexican restaurant

•The Works, coworking

•Le Chic Nails

BridgeWay is pretty much a food hall with apartments. I mean as a foodie themselves, it would be great to have a plethora of local restaurants around but also I'm not going to PLUM everyday.

The leasing success is pretty impressive so far. Only 1 retail space remains!

Let's get trucking on Phase 2! Need some more corporate office buildings and more mixed use residential

I noticed construction bids went out for Cinergy on November 1st so construction should be starting soon on it. VCC is the general contractor and ID Studio 4 is the architect.

Around 58,000 square feet in size. Seven screens total with concessions area. Number of seats for each screen auditorium: 268, 129, 129, 167, 116, 47 and 47. 10 lane bowling alley, restaurant with outdoor patio, two bars, two event rooms, three escape rooms, VR room, game room, and prize redemption center also included.

They opened one up in Charlotte last year, but a paired down version.  Here's a virtual tour of one that opened about 6 years ago in Midland, TX  to get an idea of what this may look like, you can click and "walk" around it including seeing inside the EPIC screen and bowling alley.

Hopefully it'll be more similar in styling to the Charlotte one, but with the additional features of the Midland one.

The one in Charlotte looks to just to be a movie theater, restaurant, and bar. I’ve seen all of the interior architectural drawings and I can tell you the one in Mauldin is going to be much more like the one in Midland with the bowling alley, game room, etc. I’m not sure what the exterior of the building will look like though.

Still don't get the faux ruin aesthetic.  There's enough articulation, change in materials, and use of forms that differentiates this development from anything else.  The ruination just appears haphazard and doesn't add anything to it.  Just my thoughts.

I agree.  Looks like a mix between Italy and the Alamo.  However, it will probably look much better with signage, landscaping, and lighting once its finished.  I'm curious if they already have any retailers interested in phase 2.

Looking past any architectural critiques  of the rest of the development, it's good to see in a development called 'Bridgeway' that the Bridge looks great! Love the clean white stone/concrete look.

Good to see the Greenville area giving so much love and attention to well designed pedestrian bridges, instead of treating them as after thoughts.

I imagine that it'll be a great advertisement for the development/whole area to see people walking and biking over the main arterial highway on your way in to Greenville proper.

What retailers? Did they actually land a retail store or just one of the restaurants opening?

I’m referring to restaurants and retailers. Plum and some nail salon I can’t remember the name of are retailers locating there. Exciting I know.

Greenville Triumph stadium proposal may get 2nd chance with county

I’ll be in the minority on this forum but I don’t care. Hopefully they vote no again. A waste of tax pay dollars that leaves them on the hook if the stadium fails. We can’t even fix the potholes here and they want the county to pay over $18 million for this? We have more important issues that taxpayer dollars should go towards instead like mass transit, roads, education, etc. It ruins the master plan of the development also. Notice you don’t see a soccer stadium shown on it. And don’t even get me started on the traffic headaches this stadium would create on Bridges Road. Imagine 10,000 people trying to get to a Triumph game there during the heart of afternoon rush hour.  The stadium needs to be downtown anyways if one was to get built not in the suburbs.

A better way for the county to spend $18mm would be to move the downtown county LEO campus, connect 385 to Academy at Church and sell the resulting property to a developer to build a soccer stadium, mixed use area, and drastically improve out gateway/arena district.

Edit: locating stadiums in suburbs is always a major mistake that cities make. It draws people away from the downtown where every dollar spent at the stadium is multiplied by 5x-10x with restaurant and hotel spending along with the additional service industry people required. It's also one of the few things a city can do to create a unique culture as well. The further away from downtown you locate a stadium, the more you lose those benefits. Soccer stadiums also can make for extremely good outdoor concert venues.

Edit2: after reading the revised proposal, this would be a hard opportunity for the county to walk away from. Donated land, you own the stadium and have a guaranteed tenant for many years who is paying most of the cost, additional tax revenue. It's really a great opportunity for Mauldin and Greenville County.. I just think it's a massive missed opportunity for the city of Greenville and I wish they were fighting more to get a downtown soccer stadium.

You're misinformed. They can fix potholes. There is plenty of money. You don't know what politicians do with that money.

I am confident the project will be approved this time. It is too good of a deal for the citizens of Greenville County. The politicians will smarten up and move it through.

Okay??? What about the proposed soccer stadium? I thought that was supposed to happen last night.

Surveyors and soil driller on phase II site or sites B and C in the below master plan image. Not sure if it’s for the proposed soccer stadium or something else.

The proposed soccer stadium was supposed to go to the county finance committee on March 27th. Doesn’t look like that happened. Nothing on the agenda for it. Oh well. 

[gman430]

Apparently construction bid prices came in a lot higher for Cinergy than they were expecting. Due to that, I wouldn’t expect construction to start anytime soon on it.
