A multi-million facelift for the Bank of America tower in downtown Greenville was given the green light last week.
The City of Greenville’s Design and Review Board approved plans by Hughes Development Corporation to update and renovate the building located at 101 N. Main St.
Plans include renovations to the lobby, updates to mechanical equipment and exterior areas and upgraded elevators. The renovation will also alter the base of the tower to create four floors of available innovative space set off by 4,000 square feet of glass to serve as the building’s new façade.
The first floor has been designated for retail, and newly created common areas on the fourth floor will include outdoor patios, basketball court, bocce court and other amenities, and will be available to all of the building’s occupants. The building will be flanked by parking decks on both sides, which will connect more than 1,300 parking spaces.
NAI Earle Furman, who will be handling the lease office spaces on the second, third, fourth, ninth and 16th floors, said that “each floor boasts between 12-13 thousand square feet of space with views of Greenville’s ever-changing skyline and has the option to be fully customized to meet the needs of any prospective company.”
The renovation is expected to create a new urban focal point in Greenville’s downtown.
