Rich Constantine will soon be fulfilling a dream of owning his own dental practice when his 3,000-square-foot building located at the corner of Prentiss Avenue and Augusta Street in Greenville is completed in June.
Constantine and his wife knew they wanted to live somewhere in the South, he said. They relocated to the Upstate from the Northeast after a trip to downtown Greenville and a drive through the neighborhoods “inspired” them.
He’s been practicing at a Simpsonville dentist office for the past six years, but Constantine Dental will be completely his own. “I will be establishing a brand-new practice,” he said.
Constantine said he plans to have a “state-of-the-art dental facility offering the latest technology” and will place “an emphasis on patient comfort, communication, education and quality of care.”
In working with the architect for the new building, Constantine said he wanted his office to “not feel institutional and reflect the architecture of the beautiful homes in the neighborhood.”
Although trees had to be cut down to clear the lot for the development, Constantine said they will be planting several large canopy trees along with a lot of landscaping surrounding the building, and there will be plenty of on-site parking.
Construction on the building began in January and is expected to be completed in early June.
