CONSTRUCTION THREAD: Riverplace

[Greenville]

How deep is your cut, RT? Did it require stitches? Hope it starts to feel better soon!

[GvilleSC]

Is that the actual building going up next to the Hampton Inn? or still the Parking garage?

[RestedTraveler]

Both.

That would definitely be the Terrace at Riverplace going up next to the fountain and the Hampton Inn, not the parking garage.

Hey y'all. I heard a couple of days ago that the restarant in Riverplace was a Soby's joints. Not only that. It's going to be one of two, in the whole company, with room service. This is going to be one classy place.

[goodbye]

I remember reading something about that. They're opening an oyster bar, right?

[GvilleSC]

I believe it's mediteranean?

High Cotton is going in the multi level part that faces the river then curves around to Main. By the steps. Then next to it is Starbucks, then The Grape. Soby's new place is going in one of the new sesctions of Riverplace.

^^oic thanks!

[MAJIKMAN]

Soby's place is actually inside the Hampton Inn itself. And they are the ones, soby's that is, that are going to do the room service in the hotel.

The "Hampton Inn" signage is going up on the side of the Hampton Inn today. It's on the top floor, upper right hand corner of the side facing Main Street.

It will be VERY visible to everyone as they go across the Main Street bridge and looks like it will be a light-up sign, as well.

[Greenville]

Sounds wonderful! Perhaps one of our skilled photographers can snap some pictures soon. That has "Greenville Photo of the Day" written all over it!

[g-man430]

I saw it too, except on the webcam.

Alright, since you insist...here's an ultra-crappy picture from my ultra-crappy camera phone, taken out of the back of my office. You can see the sign guys on the platform at the top of the green crane thing.

Great visual! It helped me place it and visualize what it looks like. You have a great view by the way.

The concrete columns are now going up for the third floor of the Terrace.

Nice sign! Can't wait until it's lighted.

The Centerpiece Fountain is looking awesome, too!

Excellent photos, RT! Thanks for sharing these. I agree that this Hampton Inn is giong to be great.

[RestedTraveler]

My pleasure! My apologies for the quality of the 2nd photo. It turned out horribly dark and I had to brighten it up and attempt to sharpen it somewhat using software. Maybe someone can get a day-time zoom of it while I'm away?

[tablrock]

from the hamptons inn's website, it appears this could be one of the chains flagships hotels. however that's just imo.

[vicupstate]

Isn't the fountain suppose to finish up by July 4th?

I hope they make it.
