The City Club

[emerging.me]

I thought that project was dead in the water.

[BryCola]

^Right; I feel the same way.

This guy had vision to build on this particular parcel to begin with, so he gets cool points from me. The Kline Steel project will only help cement that section of the Vista along Gervais into the overall Vista fabric.

I feel the same way. They're certainly dragging their feet with this one.

[Captain Worley]

They sure are and it has really made me start to wonder what the hold up is. I think the excavator has left, so there isn't even a token peice of construction equipment there. Were there environmental issues?

[waccamatt]

I think there have been financing issues. We are seeing the problem with all of the major SC banks being bought out, unfortunately.

I wasn't aware that City Club actually had a website.

Okay, yesterday I went to City Club for a tour. It's pretty nice. First floor is garage, spare room, and a bathroom. Up the stairs on the second floor, you find a kitchen, living room, and dining room and a very large balcony. Up again on the third floor is a huge master bedroom, bath, and closet and a utility room for washer/dryer. This floor also has two smaller balconies. Up one more time is the attic which can easily be turned into another room and it has a nice sized balcony with a GREAT view. The one I went to had the balconies facing the city. Both the second and third floors had gas fireplaces. The unit has an elevator which will come in useful and the kitchen has top of the line cabinets and appliances in it. The unit even has fire sprinklers which detect where the fire is and then determines which sprinklers to use. This way all your stuff won't be ruined if a small fire is only in the kitchen! Then we went to some units still under construction and they have quality constrution in place.

Then our tour moved to the Middleton building which is fully occupied right now. Nice sized pool on the outside. Then inside is an area residents can sign up for to use for parties/big occassions. The best part is the gym. It's pretty large and has over 35,000 dollars worth of equipment and some big tvs to watch while you're working out.

Overall, I was impressed. And of course the floor plan I described isn't the same for all the units. There are a few different ones to choose from.

Sounds like a nice development - of course they ought to be for the cost.

[krazeeboi]

They look really nice now that they're almost complete. I like the wrought iron gates.

Here's a more recent shot of this development from The State:

^I thought I saw them preparing to do that the last time I rolled through there. I wonder how the first phase has been selling?

[waccamatt]

I'm not sure of the sales numbers, but they must be pretty good if they're starting on the second row.

[TheCarolinaKing]

I thought that they were selling quite well, inspite of their hefty price tag...?

Taken 9/1:

Looks like phase 2 is now under construction

[Spartan]

Is there another row being built, or is that something different? (Last pic)

[krazeeboi]

Another row being built from the looks of it.

[krazeeboi]

The 2nd phase of this development is well underway and completely surrounds the Middleton Building. It makes for a nice impact on the cityscape in that area. Now just get the Kline project underway, and that section of the Vista won't look so detached from the side of the Vista on the other side of Huger.

[johnpro318]

My friend moved into her townhouse a couple weeks ago. She is very pleased!

[krazeeboi]

Cool. I also see that a small parking lot has been constructed on Williams Street across from the first phase (on the same side as the riverbank). I'm assuming that will be for the park that's under construction? Corgi, do you know?
