Sneak Peak at Bellemeade Village

[cityboi]

Here is a sneak peek of the development that is being planned north of Greensboro's new downtown ballpark. Sorry for the poor qaulity picture. The new renderings havent officially been released and this photo was briefly shown at a Greensboro zoning meeting on tv. BTW the zoning commission approved the rezoning of the land that will become Bellemeade Village so we should see construction begin on the first phases soon. The buildings in Bellemeade Village will be a cluster of a number of mid-rise buildings between 5 and 6 stories tall. Most will have commercial space on the first floor with residential condos and apartments on the upper floor. Parking will be beneath the buildings. This project will be similar to Gateway Village in uptown Charlotte. Its very likely that the buildings in the rendering below will be very similar in size and scale to what will over look left field of the ballpark. The total number of units will be around 300 so it will be the largest single residential development, in terms of the number of units, in downtown Greensboro's history. Some 3 story townhomes could also be included. later phases of Bellemeade Village will include a grocery store and a mid-rise boutique hotel is even proposed. They hotel may even overlook the field at the ballpark as well.

Ive also noticed that someone has purchased the web address for www.bellemeadevillage.com. The website is not developed but it looks like they are getting prepared to get this project rolling:) These mid-rise buildings will make an excellent base for Greensboro's skyline when looking at it from the Wendover Ave bridge 2 miles northwest of downtown. It looks like residential projects in downtown Greensboro are getting taller and taller.

The Boulevard Company of Charlotte, which also built Gateway Village in Charlotte will be building Bellemeade Village.

downtown has had a number of residential projects such as Governor's Court condos, Smother Place Lofts Condos, Southside and now Bellemeade Village. Residential is booming in downtown Greensboro and there are more residential preojects planned such a proposed development by the Boulevard Company call 411 Washington. That will be a 4-story condo building on the southwest end of downtown. There is also an un-named mid-rise condo project proposed on South Elm Steet near Smothers Place Lofts. Then there is the redevelopment site at South Elm and Lee Streets which will have alot of residential. There are plans to convert the old 16-story Wachovia building into a residential tower with a restaurant on the first floor and office space on the second and third floors.
