Downtown Living in Greenville


Spartan

Recommended Posts

I thought it would be interesting to compare the residential boom in downtown Greenville and downtown Columbia. I opted to exclude Charleston since it already has a large percentage of its population living on the peninusla and it isn't experienceing the same type of "renaissance." Some text is taken straight from other's posts, and all most of this info can be located via Urban Planet.

My goal is to accumulate a list of all residential units (not single family) in DT Cola and Gville, old or new.

This is not comprehensive, so please add to the list if I have missed anything.

****The Columbia units are prooving more difficult to find pictures of and links to sites since we don't have them listed centrally like has been done in Greenville. So, waccamatt, I am taking the liberty of using some of your photos from your photo tour. I am putting them on my host so its not using your bandwatidth. I hope thats ok:) If not, just let me know and I will take them down.****

The Bellagio Gardone W North St.

Features eight 12-unit buildings and eight 8-unit buildings. Site lists total area as 30,000- 45,000 sq ft, but my math shows it much higher than that (156,800 sq ft for the 8 eight-unit buildings + whatver for the 12 unit buildings). I will take their word for it though.

The Scott Tower in Greenville is Public Housing for the Elderly, there is also two more similar. The Summit Next the The Greenville Transit and another accorss the Street from 400 Main.

Also in Greenville is the Monahan Mill conversion to Apartments and many Attached Townehome developments downtown.

Also don't forget about the Riverhouse at riverplace, it has topped out. The Richland on Washington St. it is almost complete, The Davenport Condos Accross Church St. from the Federal Building and Accross Washington from Christ Church. And the Lennox on E. North Street

I don't have time to add photos this morning but I will try at another time.

In addition to all these large loft/condo projects in GV, I think it's important to note that almost every building downtown (2 floors or more) has lofts and living above the retail. Any little 4,000 square foot, 2 story structure has lofts on the second floor....lofts above Venti, lofts above Bergamo, lofts above Jersey Mikes Subs, lofts above Giorgio Trattoria, lofts above the old TD Waterhouse, etc, etc.

Greenville's downtown living has been successful because every available space, no matter how small, has been approached creatively for living (some with only 2,3,or 4 lofts).

Riverplace will actuall have 5 condo buildings. Just like the Terrace will mirror is design the Hampton Inn there is planned two other condos similar is design to the 55 Riverplace and Riverhouse, they can be seen on the site plan on the right.

Oh yeah, the new rows houses in the Hampton Pinckney area. There is also an old church in this area that's being converted to lofts/condos. Think it's on Pinckney Street....can't remember the name of the development. Anybody know?

Does anybody have any details on the development in Greenville on East Washington Street near the Reedy River (near the Cleveland Park and the Greenville Zoo)?

Is it one of the ones mentioned here? It doesn't seem like it - that one seems like it's right out of Central Florida (Stucco Exterior Walls painted with pastel colors and a Spanish Tile Roof).

edit: This seems to be at least partially residential (if not completely).

That one is called The Richland @ Cleveland Park. 200K to 600K. I heard they sold out almost immediately. Don't have the website.

Thanks! I can't find a web site for it, but I did find some information on the Greater Greenville site about it and other developments:

That's the development in the former Greenville Furniture store. :)  It will be an awesome addition and it will house the wealthy only.

I'm independent, yet not wealthy; therfore, that counts me out :(

Oh well - still a great addition to downtown :)

Hehehe...I'm glad someone figured it out. I was wondering why a realtor in Mobile, Alabama would have anything to do with Park Place on Main :) It's OK though because I found the same renderings (only not as large and not as nice) on the Greenville News article, too.
