She’s beauty and she’s Gracie. Plans for the design of the Greenville Gateway (aka Gracie Plaza) , located in the Arena District, have been updated.

Located at North Church and East North Streets as you first enter downtown Greenville from I-385, the new designs feature:

  • A 25-story tower
  • An outdoor amenity terrace + a pool deck over parking
  • A public plaza facing N. Church Street
  • A residential lobby
  • 12,000 sqft of ground-level retail + commercial space
  • 342 apartments
  • 363 parking spaces
  • A proposed pedestrian bridge connecting the development to The Well

Miami-based NR Investments , which helped develop Miami’s Arts + Entertainment District , says it fell in love with Greenville when visiting and told WYFF 4 , it hopes this project is “a new district that will have its pillar as the arts and as the entertainment.”

This project would take over the former Greenville Memorial Auditorium location — 250 N. Church St. — which was demolished in 1997 + the new site plans are scheduled to be reviewed by the Design Review Board on Thursday, April 18. If approved, construction is scheduled to begin in early 2025.
