I went downtown to take some photos of riveplace yesterday to provide those of you that live else where a look at how they are progressing.

Another update. This will probably become the Construction Thread for RiverPlace.

The new Hampton Inn and Suites. The awesome fountain will be to the right of this.

Allora, LLC has received approval to begin construction of "The Terrace at RiverPlace." It is part of phase II and will probably one of the most interesting places in RiverPlace. B)

That will be an awesome building, even if I am a bit biased. :-)

The units at The Terrace are some of the coolest downtown residences we will have.

Greenville looks like a nice place to live. A liittle river or lake always helps a town look better.

Especially when the river has awesome falls :-) You should drive over for a visit and check it out for yourself!

I'm off at Clemson, so I haven't been able to see all these things. Thanks for posting all the photos. The second building (55 Riverplace?) looks extremely nice from the street side! I like the lighting too. Gah, I think I'm in love

I saw something either in another thread or in the news about the Riverplace Parking deck would be open to the public at the end of the month. Now my question is say if I come downtown one night for like Fall for Greenville or something and the only available parking was the RiverPlace parking deck, where is the entrance to this thing? Is it really underground like they said it was gonna be or just below street level?

[GvilleSC]

ABOUT how many space would there be too? Is this going to be a place that should always be available or a garage that'll be filled a lot of the time? I can't imagine it being too big being underground and all...

Cool pics. When this is finished I know it'll look awesome!

The parking appears to be between River House and 55 River Place (under 55 River Place). You can see it from the Peace Center side of the Reedy River. As far as the enterance, I believe that is off of River/Academy street. There's a sign pointing employees of River House's first tennant to their parking.

As far as the number of spaces, I don't believe a decision has been reached on that yet.

There is other parking near the West End though. The Bowater Garage, the Sun Trust Lot, and the Independence National Bank Lot all offer free night and weekend parking, too.

Just for reference, here's the rendering:

Parking is underground and entered by a ramp between Riverhouse and 155 E. Riverplace, to get to this ramp you will turn in to the plaza from camperdown between Riverplace and 155 E. Riverplace.
