As our city grows, Greenville’s skyline will transform and change, just as it has for decades. Most recently, we’ve been following the Greenville Gateway project — a development proposed between North Church Street, East North Street, and Beattie Place.
According to the agenda for Thursday’s Design Review Board meeting, the development will (once again) go before city leaders for additional approval. At 29 stories, the Greenville Gateway would be the tallest building in Greenville once complete.
So, what other buildings define Greenville’s skyline and how tall are they?
