CONSTRUCTION THREAD: Brick Street Lofts

[vicupstate]

^^ Buy two units and combine them. That would be 1,800 sq. ft for 410,000.

Actually, it would probably be more like $390,000-395,000, since one kitchen could be eliminated. You would pay a lot more than that for a Poinsett Corners unit with less square footage.

I live in 1025 SF and have to much space, I have two rooms I never go into.

BTW, there are a number of buildings downtown in which buyers have combined units preconstruction. So its not unheard of.

One big factor is how well the space is laid out. I use to live in a 1200 sq. ft. house, with 2 BR and 2 Baths. I now live in a 900 sq. ft condo, 2 Br 1 ba. I would love to have an extra 20-30 sq. ft in the spare Bedroom, but otherwise it is perfect. Both the Master BR and the Living Room are bigger than the ones in the house, even though the house was one third bigger.

The space in the condo is better utilized, less wasted space (hallways, etc.)

Was by there earlier today. They look like they are moving really fast with the foundation work. It should be comin' up out of the ground pretty soon.

Construction on Brick Street Lofts is well underway! These will be a great aesthetic plus to Augusta Road and West End!

[GvilleSC]

Great! I rode down Augusta Street to reach downtown last night and Greenville High was all lit up. The lights look to be permanent and not construction related, which I hope they stay. They really brightened up the area and took away the sketchy (for a lack of better word) feeling. I see it as one more step in making the West End a better place to live, shop, eat, and work.

Not really about Brick Street, but since you bring up about Greenville High, does anybody know if they will have an open house for the public, once the construction is complete? I would love to see the inside, as I think this is a beautiful building.

[gs3]

Only rumor at this point as source wasn't firmly reliable, but I heard someone has plans for a loft development (similar to Brick Street) across Augusta, between the railroad tracks and the Shoeless Joe museum. Anybody heard these rumblings?

[goodbye]

I believe someone else mentioned this at one point earlier. Perhaps btoy? Sounds great! I can't wait to see the Prudential C. Dan Joyner building finally get its exterior makeover. I wonder what the holdup is?

^ Thanks for the photo update on this one! This is one of my favorite projects in Greenville at the moment. Being built right up to the sidewalk, and being located immediately adjacent to the cafe, this will really make a large impact on West End.

Construction on this is picking up pace. They were already to the 3rd floor with the walls the other day when I was driving by. Hopefully shouldn't be long before we see brick going on.

[gs3]

These are moving right along! I was by this morning and the entire 4th floor (3rd floor from Augusta, 4th floor from backside), is completely framed and looks like they are starting on the 5th floor / sundecks (4th from Augusta, 5th from backside). This little development being alongside Brick Street really changes the face of this area.

Anyone know who owns the little row of buildings across the side street (fronting Augusta) from these condos? I can see this little row getting a makeover soon.....would be the perfect spot for a restaurant/retail, IMO.

I'll go by and take pictures of this tomorrow for you guys.

Looks like you got out today! Thanks for the updates. This looks NICE. Too bad they weren't a little bigger, I would have thought about getting one.

[Greenville]

Those power lines need to be BURIED!

I was just about to post the same thing! I sure wouldn't want to step out on my balcony and have lines in my face.

Great photo update! Thanks!
