That's awesome that they'll be downtown. I can't read the article. Where will they be located? Do they currently have a presence downtown?

The article only says, and I quote:

“The new location will be located on Pinckney Street downtown.”

[vicupstate]

Pinckney is zoned Residential except for the blocks on either side of Mulberry, both of which are filled with residences.  I wonder if the article is incorrect.

They’re going to Poe Mill: https://upstatebusinessjournal.com/investinet-expansion-bringing-opportunities-to-greenville/ What an odd location. Not sure why they chose this site.

there is a little strip of pinckney that was cut off when they built Pete Hollis Blvd

[Danmire]

This looks to be in one of the old warehouse type buildings to the right of Pete Hollis where the big bridge starts as you head out from downtown.  I wonder will they tear it down and build new or renovate.  Good to see investment in that area.

Freehub Bicycles going in the Pedal Chic space. 

[Galley]

I know that Chinese tariffs put a hurt on the bicycle industry, but I'm still not convinced that's a good location.

Very interesting.

Does anyone know what is happening on this site (see attached, marked in red)? I drove by here recently and noticed a lot of construction activities ramping up. The entire property on the corner of Verdin Rd. & Brookfield Pkwy (just inside Mauldin city  limits) has been cleared,  site fencing is up and materials  are stored on site. 

Also on the attachment in blue, does anyone know of anything that might be planned for this large property on the corner of Tanner Rd & Verdin Rd? I’ve always imagined a well planned out mixed-use development to be successful here.

It looks like Greenville Senior Living LLC owns the property being developed, so I would guess a retirement home.  The blue area is still family land, so it could be a while before anything is developed there.

Both of these are nice to see! Is NCEES taking over the former CH2M building?

[vicupstate]

What happened with CH2M, I don't even remember.

With Greenville-resident Harton as the firm's CEO, speculation has arisen that UCB might leave its corporate headquarters in Georgia for a new home in the Upstate. UCB already has a significant presence in Greenville, which at last count included more than 200 employees. When asked about the possibility of a Palmetto State corporate relocation, Harton didn't rule out a move. 

A subsidiary of United Community Banks Inc., United Community Bank has "$12.7 billion in assets, and 149 offices in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee," according to recent announcement.
