County Square’s history started in 1851 when Furman relocated there from Winnsboro, S.C. Then it was Bell Tower Mall (raise your hand if you remember that) until Greenville County took over the property in the 1980s. About a year ago, Greenville County announced they were accepting proposals to redevelop ~38 acres of County Square.
Six proposals were submitted and nearly a year later, a developer has been chosen...
RocaPoint Partners (developer for the PGA TOUR Headquarters in Florida) and The Georgetown Company will be developing this $1 billion mixed-use project, including over 3 million sq ft of retail, hotel, residential, and office space.
For comparison –
🏗The Camperdown project (which takes up one block of South Main Street) is expected to cost $200 million.
🏗Verdae urban community (sprawling over 1,100 acres) will cost $1.5 billion when completed.
The Design Architect, Foster + Partners, also designed the 175-acre Apple Park campus in California. Here’s hoping GVL gets its own spaceship.
