Four story  building that fronts on the respective streets (Ackley and Laurens).  PUD with MF.  I like the site plan but the architecture is wretched awful, IMO.  Think Soviet block style.  Doesn't fit the residential area behind it at all.    

Just seeing this, and yeah, that is HIDEOUS! Looks like a jail. :blink:

McCall Capital purchased this 10.2-acre (former SCDOT/DMV) site strategically located at the intersection of Laurens Road and N. Pleasantburg Drive with excellent drive-by visibility. This iconic, centrally located site offers quick and easy access to downtown Greenville, Cleveland Park, all major thoroughfares and a wide variety of employers, dining, retail, entertainment, and outdoor activities, including direct access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail Extension. McCall envisions Midtown Village as an urban mixed-use destination with a variety of complimentary uses and venues, including MF housing, office, hospitality, entertainment, restaurants, and retail shops combined with an abundance of outdoor amenities and gathering spots. We are in the conceptual planning stages of design, and expect to capitalize and start construction of Midtown Village Phase I in Q1 2022. “All In” we estimate full capitalization of Midtown Village at $150M+.

The Maserati dealership has closed, and Touring Sport has been sold and moved to Greer.  Is something planned for that corner?

I hoped my Maserati could do 185 again.  Life has been good to me so far.

If I were the South Carolina Department of Transportation, I would be seeking to improve the interchange of Pleasantburg Drive and Laurens Road.

I hope the material and architecture is an improvement over prior projects. Granted, I do not know that the budget was for these prior projects.

Yea, those are rather generic, suburban garden-style apartments. It's interesting that this proposed project would be their first attempt to step out of what appears to be their comfort zone. I welcome and applaud their willingness to do something different that will be positive for the community. Hopefully the City holds their feet to the fire on delivering something of quality and fully realizing their vision.

That actually was a former 60's era Belk department store  long before it was Kimbrell's wasn't it?  Not sure I am a fan of covering the exterior with that ugly modern looking facade that will probably be dated in  10-15 years. Always liked the back entrance with that vintage staircase but I'm a sucker for vintage (esp.50's and 60's era) retail stores.  Appreciate when they restore exteriors to way they once looked.

The latest on 1200 Laurens project aka The Alliance.  Definitely an improvement. 

1200 Laurens Rd - The Alliance  

This is a good precedent for future Laurens Rd redevelopment -- mostly referring to the site plan, but the aesthetic is decent. I didn't mind the previous proposal's design language.
