Court is in session

Could the Greenville Municipal Court building become a mixed-use development?

The Greenville Municipal Court building could become a mixed-use development after City Council gave initial approval to sell the building for $4 million at its Monday, Sept. 9 meeting.

Although the potential buyer hasn’t officially announced plans for the space, developers have said it will be two multi-story buildings for a mixed-use development.

The building has housed the Municipal Court since the 1940s. The money from the sale will pay back some of the cost of the new Public Safety Complex on Halton Road, which will open this fall. Citing lack of parking and a 2021 flood, this court already planned to move to the new Midtown facility.

After final approval from City Council at a future meeting, City Manager Shannon Lavrin said the sale should go through by the end of the year.

🌳 Biltmore Walk details plans for new public green spaces
A rendering of Biltmore Walk's green spaces
Biltmore Walk’s linear park was designed to create harmonious spaces where residents and visitors can interact with the outdoors. | Rendering provided by Biltmore Walk
In case you missed it, the luxurious Biltmore Walk townhome community recently broke ground. The development includes brand-new green spaces and a linear park parallel to Biltmore Drive — and yes, it will be open to the public.

The park was designed by Knight Strategies and will feature three distinct zones, each with its own unique aesthetic and function.

Upper

The upper section of the park is located at the corner of Pearl Avenue and Biltmore Drive. A plaza, composed of brick columns and paving, will serve as the community’s entrance. Here, people will be greeted by Fen de Villiers’ sculpture.

It will also feature a rain and pollinator garden, with intertwining pathways, indigenous flora, and secluded benches.

Middle + Lower

The park’s central area will be a formal lawn space for community engagement and casual recreation. Think: Frisbee, cornhole, dog walking, and outdoor events.

The lower part of the park will have curved boulder walls, indigenous vegetation, seating with scenic views, and a winding pathway outlining a pre-existing creek.
