Greenville Highrise Index


goodbye

Recommended Posts

Has anyone heard anything about the Gateway site? I am assuming that the developers are still planning to build their two highrises there, with a mix of hotel, condos, and apartments, but are just waiting on the right time to announce their plan to the public. Anyone more involved with the project than I know anything?

Like everybody else, they are waiting for the economy to improve before moving forward. The project is still in the works. There is no rendering yet because the developers are still contemplating what the project will consist of in terms of mixed use aspects.

Nobody used the indices . I had them up there for over a year and it had almost no views considering the length of time it was up there. I recommend using the search feature to find what you're interested in. If you go 'advanced' it works pretty well.

Just to give y'all a heads up, Neo is going to be releaseing a new feature of UrbanPlanet today that will make this thread unnecessary. It will be a much better way to keep track of all projects, and members will be able to add and maintain this data. I did a couple of test entries for Spartanburg, but I intend to help with the Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston data too (as time allows of course :) )

Greenville is in a secret architectural design competition to have more 9 to 11 story buildings than any other city in America.

That would be awesome. Keep 'em coming! But, keep the review board out of the loop.

But will it get there? I would at least like to see them renovate the outdated tallest building. Mid-rise density is still nice though.

You mean on the exterior? New owners of several office buildings (Wells Fargo, Liberty Sq, etc) have done nice renovations on the interior public spaces.

Edit- I see you're referring to the Landmark Building. Still exterior though right? I've never been inside.

It depends.....currently, rental rates are too low, vacancy rates are too high and a large anchor is needed. But, developers are building height in a lot of markets. The numbers just don't make sense for Greenville.

What does Greenville need to atract more businesses for a high rise - parking? Bigger sites? Tax breaks? How to make our MARKET attract more?

Like redcliffe saya above, other markets are building height  -

They are? I don't know of any high rises under construction right now in similar sized cities like Columbia, Huntsville, Knoxville, Lexington, Charleston, Greensboro, etc.
