Orvis is coming to the ONE development.
The family-owned retail and mail-order business that specializes in high-end fly-fishing, hunting and sporting goods will occupy 5,000 square feet at the corner of Laurens and Washington streets in downtown Greenville.
“Orvis fits perfectly with our strategy of leasing to high-quality national, regional and local tenants. We are very excited to welcome them to Greenville and think they will be a huge success,” said Robert Hughes, project manager at Hughes Development.
This will be the first Orvis store in the Upstate and the second in South Carolina for the Vermont-based retailer. Founded in 1865, Orvis pioneered the mail-order industry in the United States, and operates more than 80 retail stores in the U.S. and the U.K. The company also contributes 5 percent of pre-tax profits every year to protect nature, support communities and advance canine health and well-being.
The store is expected to open in the fall.
Hughes Development Corporation also announced that the ONE building has been certified as a LEED Gold building by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). According to the USGCB website, “LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices.” This certification makes Project ONE the largest LEED Gold building in the state.
