Welcome to Extreme Makeover: The Landmark Building Edition. Greenville’s tallest building — located at 301 N. Main St. — is getting a $4 million renovation and will be re-branded to its original name, The Daniel Building.

What are the plans?

Plans for the 25-story building will be reviewed by the Design Review Board (DRB) on Thursday, Jan. 18 and include:
  • Renovating the plaza + exterior of the parking deck to tie in with Greenville’s Cultural Corridor project
  • Adding outdoor seating, landscaping, and lighting
  • Renovating the lobby with a “mid-century modern design”

Why “The Daniel Building”?

Originally, the building was named after Charles Daniel — owner of Daniel International Corporation — who built the building in the 1960s.

When will renovations start?

Renovations will likely start sometime between April and June + will last about one year. Some updates, including a new roof + a fire panel, were completed in 2023.

Dunean Capital Management hopes to attract new tenants + retail concepts to the building with this renovation and says there’s a lot of space available.

Goodbye Landmark Building, hello Daniel Building.

🌳 Kermit, take notes

North Main Street received 27 new dogwood trees

They don’t call us Greenville for nothing. The ~1 mile stretch of medians on North Main street received 27 new dogwood trees, thanks to the City of Greenville.

City Councilman John DeWorken says these medians are the “pride of North Main,” and residents love driving down the road and seeing the dogwoods blooming in the spring.

To protect Greenville’s tree canopy, trees that have aged out are replaced with new ones. Additionally, the city aims to plant 1,000 trees per year in city parks + raise public awareness by doing tree giveaways.

The city says it will continue to “plant in public spaces” in 2024.

Is it going to snow this year, Greenville? Personally, I’m team “no snow” purely because I get cabin fever at the drop of a hat. Please don’t come for me.
