Proposal: 708 S. Main

Maybe the developers forgot they were building it.  

[apaladin]

Doubt there will be much building this year as building material costs are through the roof and in some cases short supply. 

[goodbye]

Investment cost would not hinder private development when demand is high.  We have seen plenty of examples recently in various cities around the world.  Public investment would likely be affected in some cases when projects are deemed non-essential to economic growth.  Greenville's leaders have navigated fluctuations in cost and demand in the past and likely will continue to work with private investors on some of the most visible and economically important projects.

Sad times.

Avant 702 S. Main St

Newly revised plans. Exterior changes but no changes to # of units or that retail is on ground floor.

I don’t love it.

I love that the Frosty Man graphic is still included. Little touches like that go a long way.

Any word on how sales are going?

3 sold. Been that way for a long time though.

Thanks -- I sure wouldn't be itching to pull the trigger on a place that has a giant water feature, and a robotic parking system. Both seem like major maintenance items and potentials for large assessments for the HOA in both the short and long term.

CORRECTION !! Four Units.

CORRECTION !! Four Units.    Apparently one just went under contract recently.

Going off the website, which might not be up to date, 3 units are sold, one is under contract with 8 remaining

The DRB signs on site have been taken down. 

[gman430]

Apaladin was right. It’s dead isn’t it?

[gman430]

It’s just sad. Couldn’t even go three days before it died. 

[gman430]

Deferred until at least next meeting. 

[apaladin]

Not surprising, it’s done.  Just call it Gateway 2. 

[gman430]

I guess this project is dead. They deferred and never came back.  It’s like Charlie Brown with his football.

[vicupstate]

5 units Sold/Under contract.   I would guess a 6th sale would be enough to release financing. Maybe a lease for the ground floor would be sufficient.

How long until the five buyers walk away from this joke if they haven’t already? I’m surprised they haven’t taken legal action against the developer especially if there was any deposit money involved. Maybe the developer will decide to put a graveyard on site of all of the failed projects downtown instead.

The fence completely fell down. Yay.  

[gman430]

Anybody hearing that several of the buyers have pulled out due to the long wait? The rumor mill is swirling again. Wouldn’t surprise me though. I would go elsewhere if I were in their shoes.
