Greater Spartanburg Projects & Developments

Wow! How about where they are demoing on the same side. I think it used to be the old Vic Bailey?

There was a public notice in the paper about a request to the Planning Commission to amend the planned development district plan for the parcel behind Texas Roadhouse to allow for development of a senior living facility.  Interesting.

They are out surveying the property today.

Looks like the Tru by Hilton (reportedly) at Westgate is about ready to start framing on the third floor. Exciting to see

all these new brands along I-26.

Anyone know about the "Progressive to Spartanburg" rumor?  Apparently they'll bring "lots of jobs."

[1Spartanburg]

No I have not heard that one. How about you?

[Skyliner]

This is all I have heard so far:  "Progressive will be building a big center in GSP [Spartanburg].  For claims and such."  "Job openings will be posted in the summer."

[1Spartanburg]

Wow I hope so! We need more white collar jobs in Spartanburg!

More details please.

I posted what I know (heard) in the Spartanburg forum, hoping others would be able to share more information.

Thanks Skyliner!

Spartanburg ranked number 28 on this list of Best Performing Large Cities from the Milken Institute. This was up 8 places. See it here: https://assets1c.milkeninstitute.org/assets/Publication/ResearchReport/PDF/BPC-US-2018-WEB.pdf

Sounds like a call center to me.

GoUpstate had a site plan for that senior living facility ("The Canopy at Sierra Hills") behind Texas Roadhouse (typical looking, but good to know):

Also, the Tru by Hilton on Franklin Ave is topped out.  It has a pretty sizable presence (particularly from further away):

Construction well underway at the intersection of I-585 / US-176 and I-85 for the new location of Spartanburg Dodge.  Perhaps this will help spur other development in this area.

They are demolishing the old Eckards/Rite Aid at Hillcrest. Anyone know what is planned for that site?

I'm pretty sure it's going to be a Panera Bread (moving from their current location).

The long stalled Converse Mill project seems to have gotten the wind back in its sails and will break ground sometime next month with expected completion by 12/2020. 
This is a very exciting project that will bring much needed attention to that area! One can hope that maybe this will stimulate some positive development in the Clifton villages which in my opinion have some of the most beautiful topography in Spartanburg. I would love to see this spur some major redevelopment in that area! 

Good things!

Two unrelated projects in totally different locations, but I was wondering if anyone knew what was going on at either.

First, Clayton Construction has been clearing a lot on John B White near Camelot Ct, across from Bruster's and Cook-Out.  The lot was purchased this summer by "Claybrook Holdings LLC".  Anyone know what's happening there?

Second, I noticed from the Rail Trail that significant renovation/addition work is happening on the old Pine Street Motors building next to the Wade's corporate office.  It's owned by Wade's.  It's a cool modernist building, so I'm happy to see it renovated.  Anyone know what's going in?

Answering my own question here.  I saw a beer/wine/liquor license application for this address in the paper today.  The applicant is Hub City Hospitality LLC, which is the owner of Willy Taco and FR8Yard.  The application says DBA "Flock Shop", which could be the name?  Regardless, if this is another Cribb concept, it should be awesome.

Love the building. Love that it might be another "Cribbs Brothers" restaurant. Fingers crossed for something awesome!!!!

Saw in the paper an item on the Nov. 21 Planning Commission agenda: a request to annex parcel 7-21-00-004.00 and .04 into the City as R-8: General Residential Planned Development District (PDD) by Falcon Real Estate Development.  The parcels are next to Old Canaan Road Soccer Complex (see below).  The developer has many projects (completed and planned) across the Upstate, including Drayton Mill Village townhomes (not yet begun, AFAIK).  I assume they want a density beyond what the county allows (like the westside apartment annexation a few months ago), thus why they're requesting annexation.  It will be interesting to see what happens here.

Also, this is not the Southport Village development proposed by another developer on land nearby.  This is a separate project.

Lulu's Car Wash coming to triangular lot just east of Texas Roadhouse.  How many car washes do we need?  At least the sidewalk on WO Ezell is being extended.

Also, I've seen no sign of progress on the proposed senior living facility behind Texas Roadhouse.

I've seen the sign but not sure if this will be a full service car wash (which would be too many, especially with one just up the street) or a self-service wash.

Looks like a self-service drive-thru with vacuums afterward ala Whatta-Wash, etc.
