On the heels of the announcement of Old Europe Desserts opening a new location in Mauldin’s BridgeWay Station (Bridgeway Boulevard, Simpsonville near Bridges Road and Golden Strip Freeway), we’re taking a look at “The New Town Center,” its future tenants, and when it’s planning to open.
The space
Having broken ground in April 2021, BridgeWay Station covers 400,000+ sqft. Here’s how it breaks down:
- 210,824 sqft of residential space
- 81,000 sqft of institutional development space
- 75,000 sqft of office space
- 69,939 sqft of retail space
- 24,691 sqft of public plaza and open air pavilion space
In addition to the square footage and 5+ acres of park space, BridgeWay Station will also feature a pedestrian bridge connecting to the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail.
The look and feel
The design of BridgeWay Station was inspired by Italian and European architecture, with structures modeled after Italian landmarks, and artifacts from Italy embedded within the brickwork of some of the buildings.
Greenville’s history has also served as inspiration, with historic structures like the Southern Depot Station tower being replicated in the open air pavilion. The original tower, built in 1905 on Washington Street, was demolished in 1988.
