According to The City of Greenville’s Instagram post, Chatanooga-based restaurant STIR is moving to 3r00e E. McBee Ave. as part of the renovation + expansion plans. You can dine on made-from-scratch dishes like crab bisque and cheeseburger egg rolls or slurp down some oysters from the raw bar.

The City of Greenville’s Design Review Board (DRB) approved Hughes Commercial Properties’ also approved plans for:

  • First-floor retail
  • New lighting + glass
  • Expanded sidewalks
  • Lush landscaping
  • A ride-share drop-off

The goal is to brighten up the property (which now sits in the shade) and make it more pedestrian friendly.
The DRB previously approved changes to the rear of the building to:

  • Remove the original bank drive-thrus
  • Create a new stairway
  • Revamp the entrance with fresh landscaping that ties into the green-space under the Church Street bridge

Construction on that portion of the project is expected to begin early next year, with work on the front of the building starting later in 2024.
Executive vice president of Hughes Commercial Harrison Hughes, says, “We think it’s going to be the greatest ‘new old building’ in the city.”
