Plans have been filed with the city for a major (like major) mixed-use commercial project, which is part of Verdae master plan. City planners say it’s critical to redevelopment of the Laurens Road corridor.
Verdae Properties acquired the 12.2-acre former Sam’s Club property at 2519 Laurens Road in 2013 for $3.25 million and then completed the $2.3 million purchase of the 6.9-acre former Best Buy site.
It’s part of the plan to develop the area into 30 acres of retail space, 70 acres of residential buildings, a new park and trails connecting to the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail – A $100 million dollar project.
