Get to know Augusta Gateway

Augusta Gateway is a “village-style retail center” coming to Augusta Road

The south end of Augusta Road (near Mauldin Road + Potomac Avenue) is getting a “village-style retail center” called Augusta Gateway, which promises “a modern community with neighborhood convenience.”

What to expect

The development will feature six stand-alone buildings, including a ~23,000-sqft anchor tenant space, which developers say is perfect for a boutique grocery, hardware store, or entertainment venue.

With 207 parking spaces, the shopping center aims to be a “park-once destination,” giving shoppers access to food, retail, and other businesses all in one area.

Where have we heard this before?

When we saw this development, we thought, “This sounds familiar.” That’s because we first told you about a strategic plan for this area in early 2023 before Greenville County Council officially adopted the plan that April.

The name of this development appears to be a nod to “The Augusta Gateway District Character Development Plan,” (found on page 9) which was inspired by the City of Greenville’s Greenville2040 Comprehensive Plan.

We read the long documents so you don’t have to: The goal described in the plans is to prepare for the population growth while maintaining character for the area.

From the editor

One of my favorite things about euphoria week in Greenville is the talent it brings into town. Earlier this week, I grabbed dinner with my friend John Park who is a content creator in Roanoke, VA (and a big fan of our city’s food scene). We went to Little Secret at Eighth State to order one of everything on the menu. If you haven’t been, this spot needs to be on your list. Warning: It won’t be there forever.
