Gman hates development and the potential of tower cranes.

Definitely. I think tower cranes should be outlawed in the city limits.

Site grading permit issued.  Let’s roll. Parking lot blocked off. Progressive Builders (General Contractor) and heavy construction equipment on site. Grading has started:

The description from the construction company was 'residential' but that is either incorrect, or they consider a hotel (that includes longer term options) to be residential.

Ahh, that's right. Looking back at the DRB submission, I was wondering about some of the room layouts and the number of doors from the corridor. This makes sense.

All of the dirt they dug up has been filled back in. Maybe it was just sewer work.  

[gman430]

Yep...definitely false alarm. Not sure what they were doing on site but all of the dirt has been filled back in and all of the equipment has been taken off site.

Might as well put this one on the dead list too. The city should have a graveyard for dead projects like Clemson has for when they beat teams.

The "sold" on the available Colliers sign on site has been gone for months now. However, there is no listing on their website so i'm not sure if it's still sold or back to being available right now.

How about you only announce projects as dead that you know are dead?  Maybe this is, maybe its not, but just because you do not see things moving forward at a pace that you like does not mean a project is dead.  Their are all kinds of things that go on behind the scenes that can slow these projects down, that does not mean they are dead.  Often it is the city of the county or the state that stumbling block.

Any updates? 

[gman430]

Still nothing on site. Appears dead.

[gman430]

Still no movement on this one.

It's been 18 months since the original article.  What's the status of this development and/or property?

Slated to start construction in May 2020 according to Upstate Business Journal.

Good convenient excuse. The construction business is booming, so much so there is starting to be a shortage of material.

It is quite obvious that hotel occupancy is down dramatically everywhere.  That said this project was in limbo before Covid. So who knows. 

Shortages can be caused by things other than increased demand. The level of new construction starts  doesn't seem very full at all.  Once everything that was already under construction pre-Covid completes, there is likely to be a noticeable drop off in construction. 

I base that opinion on the agendas and building permits locally.

Any updates with this project?
