Here’s what you might have missed at the February meeting of the Design Review Board (DRB) Urban Panel for the city of Greenville.
Approved: Window replacement on 116 N. Markley St.
Office space inside Markley Station, the old textile warehouse turned mixed-use facility in the West End of downtown Greenville, will receive new windows and a new window facing the east facade on the second floor. Approved unanimously by the board, the proposal from applicant Mark Barrett will also modify the windows on the second floor with black aluminum-clad wood and a concealed hinge system.
Staff granted a certificate of appropriateness with the conditions that the horizontal mullions will run through the entirety of the windows and each vertical portion will be similar to the next.

Approved: Storefront renovations on Duncan Street
The board reviewed storefront renovations to an existing single-story vacant brick building at 5 Duncan St.
The building will be used for future office space. Maria Mesa, representing McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture, applied to renovate the building, which was built in 1995.
Renovations include:
- Painting existing stone and brick
- Minor demolition to current entry
- Addition of metal panel to new entry
- Replacement of existing awning
- New canopies over doors
- Reglazing of existing windows
- Lowering of sills of existing window
- Re-paving and re-striping of parking lot
- New landscaping and hardscaping
- New signage
The board approved the application with conditions recommended by staff, such as signing requiring separate sign permits, accent lighting added to the entrance, along with the south and north elevations, and adding small plantings or vines to further activate the north and south elevations.
