CONSTRUCTION THREAD: The Point

[btoy]

Also, I guarantee you one of the head people with McChesney reads this topic on here.

I beleive it, people with many of the development groups doing work around town read this board.

Homewood Suites. This pic is two weeks old. The hotel is now up to three stories tall:

How tall will it be all together?

[g-man430]

How tall will it be all together?

My guess would be 3-4 stories.

The structure will be at least 4 stories tall. The joists were in place to receive the fourth floor earlier today. This building will probably "fit" better once the McChesney project is underway.

We talked about this a little with McBee station, but for a hotel, I am very surprised it isn't steel.

Wood is pretty typical for these type hotels (Homewood, Staybridge, Hampton, Fairfield, etc).

G-Man sent me that link today, you need to check it out. Mentions that the buildings at the Point will be 8-12 stories in height.

^^ and evidently, there will be "pubic" and "semi-pubic" green spaces.

This project is definitely going to be dense. I would like to see Sulpher Springs (I think that is the road) widened over the interstate to Verdae.

Great density. Look at page 11 and it really shows the density. Most of the square parking areas are decks surrounded by shops / offices / residential, as opposed to lots. Sweet.

Anybody look at some of the other projects with which GreenbergFarrow has been involved? Pretty impressive portfolio. I was hoping to see some better site plans/renderings of the McChesney project on their site, but I can't seem to find anything.

Construction continues as the signs go up on Peter's new Azia restaurant:

Very spiffy design! I've enjoyed watching this one go up.

Where exactly is this building. I was out at Doc Chey's the other night and don't recall seeing a building this far along.

If you were at Doc Chey's, how could you have missed it? You must not have entered from Market Point Drive? It's on Market Point Drive back behind Blue Fire Grill.

Thsi project does indeed sound like a winner. Has anyone heard a time frame for a start on this?

We're looking at what, 2300 units? So we might see 3k- 5k residents?

Man, "Ask and ye shall receive."

Here is an article discussing a timetable; looks like next year.

Also a bit about the court st project.

Ah ha, that is why. I come from Laurens Rd, so I avoid all Woodruff madness by taking ICAR, and frontage Rd. I never got around to that side of the build... Thanks!

That's a restaurant?

[adrockc2]

That's a restaurant?

Looks like a furniture store.

[RestedTraveler]

It looks more like a restaurant than Blue Fire Grill (no offense to them).

[StrangeCock]

Looks like a furniture store.

Haha...those are the same exact words I said when I saw the picture.

[goodbye]

I absolutely love the design and signage of this Azia restaurant. If they do as well as Blue Fire Grill, it will be interesting to find a spot to park around there.

I guess I haven't replied to the latest info on The Point yet. After seeing the site master plan, I am thrilled beyond words in anticipation of its completion. This is precisely the type of new urban development I have been hoping to see in our city. I could definitely live there if it has an easy transit connection to downtown. Sure, it will never reach the status of downtown, but it is as close as we'll see anywhere outside of downtown. Completely AWESOME!!!

Construction has started on Indigo Joes at The Point. Site is between Azia and Staybridge Suites.
