I love the steel on the rear of the building. Thanks for the update pics!

This is a nice, solid infill project. Glad to see it's moving forward.

This building REALLY dwarfs the two one-story retail spaces next door. We really could use some development across the street. That stretch of Main is kind of one-sided until you get to the Field House.

LOOKS GREAT! I love the name placed at the top of the building. It's fitting and well done for its context! I would love to see some more small scale projects like this pop up around the West End over the next couple of years.

Does anyone know what exactly is going on with this development? I understand the whole "you customize it" deal, but I don't think it should look quite as unfinished as it does... Didn't they presale any units? Or is work going on and I've missed the progress? IDK.

There have been construction workers doing interior work on the top floor of the building the last few days.

Good, good! I was getting concerned that such a quality development might be in trouble. Thanks for the update!

I think it's up to each individual resident to hire a contractor and complete their unit.

Right. Do you know how many have sold? Doesn't seem to be many, unless they're waiting on plans, and contractors to start...

At the start of the project, all but 1 unit was pre-sold. There is only one unit listed on Realtor.com, so I would assume that is still the case. There is also a banner on the front building saying 'Condo for sale', singular not plural.

Thanks for the insight! Hopefully we'll see some of the retail spaces start moving, too!

Looks like these are finally starting to hit the market. One as a model, then a couple of shells that can be custom designed. Here is the 4k sq ft model: http://www.greenvilleinformation.com/listing/1247961-820-main-street-302-s-greenville-sc-29601/

4,000 square feet in a prime location is nice, but I wonder how many people can afford it?

At least there seems to be a range of options coming available or proposed downtown.

Why are they having to reconstruct the railing on the front of the Custom House? I hope they're moving some units

[Gville2012]

This is at least the third time I have seen them working on that railing.

It seems they've had issues with the patio leaking to the ceiling below. I think they've tried to fix this a couple of times.

Big article on the West End in the Gville News today. It included this tidbit:

 

Now, a partnership between a bank, a builder and an investor has resurrected the project. Three of the eight units are occupied, and the builder is moving his office into two of the ground-floor retail spaces. A high-end salon is expected to open in another.
