Work has begun on plans by the Hughes Development Corp. to update and renovate the Bank of America Tower in downtown Greenville. The multimillion-dollar plan includes lobby renovations, an upgrade to the elevators, a change to the base of the building’s first four floors and a new glass facade for the building. The first floor of the building, originally completed in 1974, will be used for retail space.
Demolition of the parking structure next to the Bank of American tower is nearing completion. Once the parking structure is removed construction of a new 474-space parking garage and 144-room Aloft Hotel will begin.
A wrecking ball was used to break up the concrete floors of the old parking structure.
