CONSTRUCTION THREAD: ONE Greenville (Main @ Washington)

[GvilleSC]

There's been lots of juicy rumors involving the future phase of this project. I'm a fan of this most recent one!

[gman430]

Any idea on announcement time?

No clue at this time. Trying to find out more info.

From the corner across the street.

Great angle!

[gman430]

Call your "supposed" friend at the newspaper if you have a problem with my info. Call the developer. 1 additional lease signed and it is on a website "coming soon". Period.

Still no sign of this and haven't heard anything to make me believe it's real yet.

Tenth floor now going up:

Thought there was only going to be 9 in this one and 11 in the other?

[GvilleSC]

The office floor plates are finished, but the core will continue to rise a bit taller. Calling it a tenth story is a bit deceptive.

One of the architectural elements I dislike most about this design is the dull and uninspiring façade of the elevator/stairwell shaft (also called "the core" in this thread).

I think it might be an element that needs to be viewed in conjunction with the entirety of the building/building complex. It definitely looks rather dull by itself during construction, but I think judgement needs to be withheld.

I also think calling it a "tower" is a bit deceptive, but I continue to hear many locals use that word. Maybe the definition of "tower" is relative to the city a person lives in.

That is a ridiculously frivolous complaint, in my opinion.

Tower indicates more in relation to proportion, than it does height. But, I think context has a lot to do with its definition, not necessarily the person. Tower may mean one thing in Lower Manhattan, but something completely different in the context of Harlem, yet you're still in the same city. It's all about visualization, e.g. Furman Bell Tower. Skyscraper should not be confused with the term: tower.

Use of the word "tower" as a description for this phase of the project cannot be legitimately considered deceptive. However, calling the building a "high-rise" could be misleading to many people — even in Greenville.

Indeed, Skyliner!

Snapped this very quickly this afternoon, so please pardon my lack of photographic skills and not attempting to frame the shot well. But, I wanted to share how the glass is really making this thing pop:

What are the unfinished pillars for in the last photo. It already has 9 stories, i thought that was it for building 1?

That part extends beyond the roof of the tower. Take a look back at the renderings.

I heard there will be a Phase III across the street that could become a highrise is this true?

It has been rumored on here, yes. Phase III would be across North Laurens Street. Some rumors indicate that a hotel might be incorporated.

As in next to the BoA building?

As in next to the BoA building?

Yes, where the old BoA parking garage sits currently and also the small parking lot at the corner of that block. It would also be nice if this development would encourage a building on the Washington Street garage. I believe I read that it was built to support a building over it. Does anyone know if that's true?
