I thought Pinnacle on main was 14 stories.

[goodbye]

The article in the Greenville News says 13 stories. The other tower designed by Bob Ellis is supposed to be 14 stories according to the same article. You can read it close to the beginning of the New Greenville developments thread.

[jfl25]

Skyliner unless I'm misinterpreting the article from the greenville news it says that the building that is going to be constructed at North Main and Elford is a 14 story tower.That is were the Pinnacle is proposed. The article was online on May 5th. I dont know if this is a type-o or not .I had also originally read it was suposed to be 13.

[goodbye]

Let me check into it. I'll get back later with some answers, I hope.

[jfl25]

Thanks.

[btoy]

I had noticed before that the paper has not been consistant about the height of the Pinnacle on Main. But accouding to the website for the building it is 13 stories.

Also at the Pinnacle sale is pending on 9 office condos and one of the residential condos. That is a good sign.

[goodbye]

Here is the original article from The Greenville News, dated December 2, 2004. This article was where I first received information about The Pinnacle on Main. It states very clearly that the tower will have 13 stories.

New tower to rise on downtown skyline

[RestedTraveler]

Pinnacle on Main (Corner of North Main and Elford) is planned to be 13 Stories:

- 1st Floor: Retail

- 2nd Floor through 8th Floor: Commercial Office Space

- 9th Floor through 12th Floor: Residential

- 13th Floor: The Pinnacle Club

There will be two additional underground levels for storage and parking.

[jfl25]

Thanks Everyone I had read several diff posts and it just confused me because it was always a diff height . 13 is ok 14 would have been better though.

For now, you can get to the list of new Greenville highrises from anywhere by clicking in my signature. I'll update the list when needed.

[gvillenative]

It is my belief that the building that is going up at Main & Broad is the building mentioned by Bob Ellis as the 14 story tower that he was developing. Because he mentioned a bank and I cant remember where I read it, but I read that the newly started Independance Bank is going to be on the ground floor of that building at Main & Broad.

4. Bob Ellis designed building (mentioned along with Pinnacle on Main, but no location given)

-- 14 stories

I have confirmation that this building has not yet been announced, and is not one of the announced towers.

[RestedTraveler]

Pinnacle on Main (Corner of North Main and Elford) is planned to be 13 Stories:

-  1st Floor:  Retail

-  2nd Floor through 8th Floor:  Commercial Office Space

-  9th Floor through 12th Floor:  Residential

- 13th Floor:  The Pinnacle Club

There will be two additional underground levels for storage and parking.

On review of the web site linked above, this "Pinnacle Club" really looks like it could take up 2 Floors, so this would top the Pinnacle on Main out at 14 floors as well.

[Greenville]

After decades of no high rises being built in downtown (aside from the Carolina First buiding in 1999 or so), it is amazing that we have so many projects going at once! I am excited about what this will do for our skyline.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I wonder if the Pinnacle Club will be part of the Macon Ga. based chain of Upscale members-only restaurants that are usually on the top floors of tall buildings. Not sure of the companys name but I used to work at one in Augusta Georgia. The Pinnacle Club was its name and it was on the 16th and 17th floor of the Wachovia Building DT. I think Columbia SC, Athens Ga., and Macon Ga. also have these restaurants.

[gvillenative]

The Pinnacle Club is going to be like a spa and health club.

[Spartan]

Yeah. Columbia has one on the top of SouthTrust: 'Top of Columbia' I htink its called. I wish it weren't private. That really irks me.

[motonenterprises]

Anyone know when they are supposed to start construction on these? If you do let us know. I am ready to see some of these start going up.

[goodbye]

Camperdown Condos is still scheduled to begin construction in July. The Pinnacle is probably going to start within a month or two.

[RestedTraveler]

I don't know about you folks, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing our skyline dominated by cranes for a couple of years

[Greenville]

I don't know about you folks, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing our skyline dominated by cranes for a couple of years -RestedTraveler

Most definitely. B)

[NYTransplant]

I don't know about you folks, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing our skyline dominated by cranes for a couple of years

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm not sure I'm looking forward to that... but I am looking forward to what it represents. I guess I could live with it.

[goodbye]

I'm very anxious about the Falls @ Broad development. That crane will definitely dominate the skyline! B) I just want to see a tall building with something other than a flat rooftop. That's one reason I love the Poisett Plaza office building so much.

[MAJIKMAN]

I we will see a lot less of the boxes we are use to seeing all over sc. Not just greenville. I know there are people out there with a better vision than that.
