Commercial real estate developments abound in the Upstate. Here are updates for seven ongoing projects.
Woven
1279 Pendleton St., Greenville
The Woven development broke ground June 9. The mixed-use project will encompass residential, retail, restaurants and art tenants on a total of 13 parcels of land in the Village of West Greenville.
Developer partner Brian Schick of Woodfield Development said utility relocation is underway, with the next steps involving the construction of a precast parking structure.
Pending the safety plan’s approval by the city, Smith Street will then close until construction is completed. Schick said the timeline for construction is estimated at 28 months. Currently, the team does not have any confirmed commercial tenants but are in talks with prospective candidates.
North Main project
505 N. Main St., Greenville
The N. Main project is the redevelopment of the former “Baby Bi-Lo” site in downtown Greenville. It was purchased in April by Oxford Capital Partners in conjunction with Chicago-based Northpond Partners.
Harrison Horowitz, owner of Oxford Capital Partners, said plans for the project are being finalized and are expecting to to be submitted to the city’s Design Review Board this fall. Construction is expected to begin in early 2026.
The team wants to convert the site into a “modern retail destination” with a range of amenities including grocery, fashion, retail, restaurants and coffee shops. The developers are currently pursuing tenants.
Water Tower Crossing
1007 Hampton Ave., Greenville
Water Tower Crossing is a planned mixed-use project in the Southernside neighborhood in Greenville. On June 10, the city announced the project will be situated at the historic site that was once home to an old mill. City Council certified the site as an abandoned textile mill on June 9, making the $21 million project eligible for a tax credit under the South Carolina Textile Communities Revitalization Act.
Water Tower Crossing will total 52 residential units, with 30 covered parking spots and 44 open-air spots. Eleven units are designated for affordable housing. Five of the units will be available to those earning 60% area median income, and six units will be designated for those making up to 80% AMI.
The former Thompson Automotive building will be renovated and converted into 3,725 square feet of retail and office space.
The project was initially approved in 2022 but faced delays related to the pandemic and supply chain issues.
Greer Mill
300 Connecticut Ave., Greer
Greer Mill is a mixed-use apartment development with retail space totaling about 20,000 square feet. The mill is located just outside of downtown Greer and promises a refined experience for its tenants. In late June, developer Lawrence Black said the development will soon welcome residential tenants.
Potter’s Lofts
5365 N. Main St., Cowpens
Redevelopment of the Cowpens multiuse project began in December 2024. The upcoming development will be located at the site of the former historic Potter Store on Main Street.
The $2.2 million redevelopment totals 12,700 square feet with space for nine apartments and about 3,000 square feet of retail space. Developer Andrew Babb said construction is expected to be completed in the fall.
Seneca Social Co.
233 Main St., Seneca
Seneca Social Co. is an upcoming entertainment venue in downtown Seneca. The site totals three buildings that will be utilized for restaurant space, gaming and recreation.
The 27,000-square-foot project was initially expected to begin construction in the first half of this year but has faced some delays. Currently, it is on track for an early 2026 start.
319 Rhett St.
Greenville
319 Rhett St. is an upcoming mixed-use development in downtown Greenville’s West End. The project came before the city’s Design Review Board in December 2022 with plans for a 154-room hotel, 245 housing units and retail space totaling 5,000 square feet.
The site’s developer, Pinnacle Partnerships, said in June that it was focusing on another project – 125 The Parkway, which is expected to be complete in spring 2026 – and will return to 319 Rhett St. upon its completion.
