g-man435 · #1 Posted **Jul 22, 2019, 10:21 PM**

Once completed, the project is expected to generate annual business revenues of more than $560 million. Official websites: http://rocapoint.com/project/greenville/ and https://kdsproperties.com/greenville...development-2/

Here are some numbers:

-Fitness: 60,000 square feet
-Grocery store: 30,000 square feet
-Hotel: 200 rooms with 175,000 square feet
-Total: 3.5 million square feet.

Timeline:
-2019 Finalize county building design.
-2020 County office building and parking garage under construction.
-2021 County offices move into new building; demo other county buildings.
-2022 Install infrastructure for entirety of project.
-2023-24 Begin selling off pads for development.
-2025-26 Completion of project.

Other facts:
-7,700 Construction and 5,500 full time jobs to be created.

-The new county office building will occupy 4 acres. Parks and open space will take up 3.74 acres. New roads will cover 10.16 acres. That leaves 22.7 acres of buildable land.

-The development’s maximum building height is 20 stories.

-Family Court would have to relocate during the first phase of the project to allow construction of the new county office and parking.

-The new planned development zoning the county will seek calls for a floor area ratio of up to 3.5. The floor area ratio is the ratio of a building’s gross floor area to the size of the piece of land on which it is built.

-The county is considering leasing the 1,000-space parking garage facility that is to be built, so the space is taxable. If the county owns the parking facility, the land does not generate property taxes.

-A portion of President Street will be abandoned, and University Ridge will be relocated and connected to an upgraded Thruston Street.

-State offices will moving to the suburbs and leasing 250,000 square feet of current vacant office space.

Thanks for making this thread! I will enjoy getting updates on another fast-rising "New South" city. That County Square project looks incredible and will add so much to the already really active core of Greenville.

Let's keep it going.

Up next is the SC Arts & Events Center which is a $400 million mixed use development located in downtown Greenville. Partners include Hughes Investments, Windsor Aughtry, Bob Jones University, Greenville County Museum of Art, SGA Architecture, Rome Office, Craig Gaulden & Davis, CBRE, Clemson University, Nelson Nygaard, City of Greenville, Greenville County and the state of South Carolina . Included on this 7.1 acre site will be new museums for Bob Jones University and Greenville County Museum of Art totaling 87,000 square feet, a 68,000 square foot company conference center, parking garage, a 250 room Embassy Suites, and a TBD amount of office, retail, and residential space. Also a new state's tallest which will have condos and retail space on the bottom floor is potentially going to happen as part of this development. Construction is slated to start in 2020 with completion in 2022.

-https://www.wspa.com/news/plans-for-...een/1858576779
-https://www.greenvilleonline.com/sto...er/3214767002/

Some facts:
-The event center + art museums alone will cost $100 million, and will need a $26 million stake each from the city, county, and state (none of the three have officially approved those funds). Mayor Knox White says city funding could be contributed through a bond, to be repaid with tourism taxes. $5 million has been approved already in the S.C. House budget.
-Hughes and Windsor Aughtry are donating the land they own for the development.
-The conference center would span 68,000 sq ft. (for comparison, that’s about half the size of a typical Target), with a 25,000 sq. ft. ballroom, “jewel box” building feature, and exterior public gathering space that would front the Reedy. The event space could host an estimated 620 events each year.
-The Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery needs a more central, accessible location – after all, it does have one of the largest collections of European Old Master paintings in America (think Botticelli, Rubens, and van Dyck). The Museum & Gallery has been looking for a new home for its renowned collection after its 35,000 sq. ft. museum on the BJU campus closed for repairs in 2017, and got involved in the project when it heard about the potential for a walkable downtown location (with 60,000 sq. ft. of space).
-The Greenville County Museum of Art can only display about 5% of its collection at any given time. The new downtown space would nearly double its exhibit space, bringing the museum 25,000 more sq. ft. to show off works by artists like Andrew Wyeth, David Drake + Jasper Johns, which have previously been in storage.

Excellent projects!! Greenville is a much larger city than many people realize. If it weren't for old annexing laws in SC, this city would be in the neighborhood of 300-400 thousand people!! Hope to see more!!
