DRB liked this project more than the other two presented tonight. Building mass, height, and articulation approved 4-0.  They felt like it will fit in very well with the surrounding area. Developer to

This building is going to look really good coming down Wade Hampton Blvd. Should look at least as tall as the One Liberty Square building if not taller. Definitely gonna help expand the skyline.

Thanks. Wow, hard to keep up. I honestly don't even know what some of these are, like Avant and Broadview.

Yeah, it’s been a while since I have taken drone pics. I’ll get some updated ones this weekend of downtown projects currently under construction.

Same, and why is there still a big parking lot at Main & Broad, given all of this new development?

I've always understood that one of the major limiting factors is the amount of owners and property lines. I agree this is one of the most desirable undeveloped corner in Greenville. Looks like the primary owners are Martin Famly Farms, Vivian Wong, and a unnamed LLC (can pretty easily find a name associated with it, but I won't publish here)

Yeah, Main & Broad has to be the most valuable surface parking in North America. You could build anything there. Maybe someday they'll make the craniacs on this forum happy and put up a 500 foot office building. 

If that were ever proposed the council and NIMBYS would say it's out of scale and we would end up with a 7 story box tower instead.

This new building is a great example of what I've been saying over the past few years about developers with these multi unit appt and condo buildings. We've had a bunch of these type developments built with units numbering in the hundreds but everybody else has chosen to build suburban looking lowrises that take up large footprints rather that a taller building like this. No reason this couldn't have happened with some of those other ones too. I wonder if any other ones will follow suit now that someone has set a precedent.

It’s a lot more expensive to build a concrete high rise than it is to build a low or mid rise with wood. That’s a lot of the reason why you see it occurring here and in other cities. Those tower cranes aren’t cheap to rent either. It is nice though finally seeing something different coming to our skyline and with mostly glass. While Charlotte has a ton of these style of buildings I feel like it is something Greenville has been missing.

I noticed this weekend while driving into town on 385 that this proposed building will be visible when you get that first glimpse of the skyline near the airport. With the leaves off of the trees, it's clear to see the top of the Canvas office tower. Given this proposed apartment building's additional height, you'll clearly be able to see it above the tree line year round.

Will site preparation begin prior to groundbreaking?

Demolition of garage is what will start construction in August or September from my understanding. Pile driving of caissons to occur very shortly after that followed by tower crane going up and rising of the building. One level of parking will technically be underground due to the grade difference/slope of the site.
