The south end of Augusta Road (near Mauldin Road + Potomac Avenue) is getting a “village-style retail center” called Augusta Gateway, which promises “a modern community with neighborhood convenience.”
What to expect
The development will feature six stand-alone buildings, including a ~23,000-sqft anchor tenant space, which developers say is perfect for a boutique grocery, hardware store, or entertainment venue.
With 207 parking spaces, the shopping center aims to be a “park-once destination,” giving shoppers access to food, retail, and other businesses all in one area.

The name of this development appears to be a nod to “The Augusta Gateway District Character Development Plan,” (found on page 9) which was inspired by the City of Greenville’s Greenville2040 Comprehensive Plan.
To summarize two long documents: The goal described in the plans is to prepare for the population growth while maintaining character for the area.
