CONSTRUCTION THREAD: 98 East McBee

[vicupstate]

My guess is that NOT getting the go-ahead would have made news, but not a much-expected approval. It may have been delayed though.

"Stuff" appears to be slowly accumulating on the lot, so it would appear that the developers feel at least that it's a done deal.

Is it stuff from the road construction or more like Peacock Hotel construction stuff, whatever it may be?

[carolinadude9409]

It's road construction stuff. At least that's the way it looked when I drove by yesterday.

[RestedTraveler]

It's infrastructure upgrade stuff (drain pipes, etc.).

I believe RT is right, but anyone else think it is strange that a "Coming Soon" sign has not been posted yet for this major project?

I guess so, but different projects, different people, different time frames for getting stuff done. It'd be even more impressive to have a coming soon sign on Main. Maybe a perspective from the sign's location- talking about the project and amenities for people to read. I could see the sign of what it will look like with construction going on in the background. It'd be a great way to watch it progress!

Coming Soon signs don't mean much. Remember Pinnacle had one posted a year ago.

One of those signs cost less thna $1k. More advertising than commitment.

I wouldn't read anything into it.

A sign should be up before the huge cycling championships, one must expect. On the same note: I am wondering why the sidewalk/road is all marked up at the South Main-Broad Street intersection. I really don't like the appearence of the paint over the brick sidewalk.

[Dogs On Wheels]

Im very excited to see the construction of this hotel from my corner.

Im hoping alot the workers keep me busy through the winter.

What are they doing with that other vacnt lot across the street from there. The one right on Main and Mcbee.

Is there any ideas or plans for that space?

There is a plan for a 7-10 story Class A office building (we have renderings somewhere around here), but it has been delayed indefinitely. Hopefully, the addition of McBee Station and The Peacock Hotel & Spa will make that project happen soon.

It's a slightly different elevation rendering from that on the sign at the site, but...

I thought this project was dead, though?

[goodbye]

It is not dead, and we have seen renderings for possible additional floors in the building. The hold up is due to the slower office market growth downtown at present.

[Greenville]

Isn't there a sign with a rendering for Main at McBee on the McBee side of the property? Isn't this the site where they currently have the wall with the children's paintings, or am I a block off?

Yes and yes.

As I stated in a different thread, "Coming Soon" signs don't mean much.

Ah, but "Soon" is a relative term. What may be "soon" to the developers may be "10 years from now" to someone else.

[tablrock]

damnit this thing had better get built!!!!

[GvilleSC]

McBee, with this, would be an amazing canyon! Of course, I'd take something taller. Only so it would peak over the Peacock and give the occupant's signage maximum visibility...

We do have a rendering of the taller building somewhere on this site.

I remember seeing that... I was thinkin huge though When I said peeking... I meant towering...

It was JUST announced folks. This isn't The Pinnacle or Camperdown. Cut the developer some slack.

At the risk of going off-topic... I heard that Main @ McBee was dead.

This should get it back on topic: G-man just posted at SSC that Peacock is going to be 14 stories tall according an email from Nancy W.

Hopefully this is for real and not counting any under ground levels for parkings...?

If you look closely at the rendering, it shows 14-stories. I kept trying to figure out where the extra floors were lost.
