South Ridge (Church St. and University Ridge)

I hope the design of the private school is appropriate for the master plan.

Have you seen the design?  If so, which street does it front on?

[Gville2012]

I think we all know... he's seen/knows nothing.

Think what you want. I was correct about the Certus setback and correct about this, as of what has been currently shown. I certainly hope you will get in there with other neighbors and fight to correct this. Don't shoot the messenger.

[Gville2012]

Certus was a different story as it was outside of the master plan...

[vicupstate]

Certus was built up to street with parking in the rear, so I would say you missed that one . My guess is you haven't seen the school design. If you have please provide some details.

[gs3]

^. Maybe "up to the street" means something different to you vic, as Certus is certainly NOT up to the street in any sort of urban manner. So no, I did not miss that one....maybe in your world.....but not in reality.

Again, Primrose (chain daycare) is not up to the street and is suburban in nature as it now stands. Do some digging Vic....... And Gville2012 please be a voice for change when you see the plans......

Where might I find these plans? The city applications website does not have it, and likely won't sinceii t did not make the June agenda ,until later in the month. Certus has only landscaping between the intersection and the building.

GVille2012 is right, the Certus property is outside the Haynie Sirrine masterplan.

After taking a look at these plans, I'm very disappointed in what's being proposed.  The building and site is not very pedestrian friendly to say the least. Retaining walls surround the site, the worst one being a 12' tall wall along the sidewalk, facing the corner of Church St and Rose Ave. Looks like something that would be fine for a suburban development, but nothing like what the master plan intended. I will be attending the planning meeting this Thursday to say something.  Hopefully the city will want something better than this.

Careful. I posted about the suburban nature of this back in June and I was quickly shot down / bashed by a few (scroll up a few posts). I "didn't" know what I was talking about according to them......hmmmmm.........

I hope you do say something and I hope others do as well. I hope this project is drastically changed.

Considering this is the same Lady who led that charge against the apartment complex on Augusta St. and got it reduced from three to 2 stories I wouldn't mind seeing her have to put up with a little neighborhood resistance herself.

Well, it's October. Where are you???

I talked with a Beach Company rep during the Stone/Main meeting and he said work should start in November.

[sc smitty]

The large billboard on the corner of Church St & University Ridge came down yesterday. 

[vicupstate]

The Beach Company has closed on the property, and construction will start before the end of the year.

Wonderful to witness Downtown Greenville increasing quality density in multiple directions (up and out). With the Woodruff Road and Verdae areas continuing to grow as well, an alternate form of mass transportation (preferably rail) will soon make sense to lots of local residents.

[gman430]

Great news. That will be three major projects downtown starting construction within a two month time period.

CBRE will be doing the leasing for the retail, restaurant, and office space: http://looplink.natl.cbre.com/xNet/Looplink/Profile/Profile.aspx?stid=cbre7&LID=18435188&LL=true&UOMListing=&UOMMoneyCurrency=&RentPer=PY&SRID=3826216807

[vicupstate]

Since they are only advertising for 4,000 SF, I wonder if the balance of space is already taken.
