After some early contention between the Greenville City Council, local citizens and Greenville County, the city of Greenville has stepped forward and approved the massive $1 Billion redevelopment plan for County Square. The quality and scale of this project will forever change the city.
According to the Greenville News story, the Hayne-Sirrine neighborhood has come around and has endorsed the project. It seems the city, county and developer has made concessions but also has done a better job of late in listening to their concerns. One of the biggest concessions was the agreement that buildings would be capped at 12 stories. The developers had originally requested 20 stories.
The project will include a new $65 million Greenville County office building that appears will be state-of-the-art. Office, retail, and housing will comprise the rest of the project. Here’s the site Greenville County has set up for the County Square redevelopment. They call it University Ridge Redevelopment.
The developer is Atlanta-based RocaPoint Partners.

I’ve also been a licensed REALTOR since 2003 and broker since 2007 but my work is limited to just a few clients each year. We relocated to Greenville, SC for the lifestyle, lower cost of living, amazing amenities in the area and the growth opportunity for business and real estate. We absolutely love it here!
