The parking lot at the intersection of Main and Broad streets downtown is officially for sale. In the image above, only the light blue area totaling 1.038 AC is for sale. The orange area can be made available totaling the 1.583 AC site.
Known as the “epicenter of downtown,” this ~1.5 acre lot’s primary owners are the Sawyer + McElveen families. According to deeds for the land, these families registered their LLCs at this address.
Author Tammy Conits, restaurateur Carl Sobocinski, and Greenville business-woman Vivian Wong, also own portions of the lot.
According to CBRE, bidding will begin mid-October. Although no official sale price has been set, Bo Aughtry, chairman of the Windsor Aughtry development company, said he would expect the property to trade above $200 per sqft, or ~$9 million per acre.
Aughtry says it is “unfortunate” that this lot is undeveloped and it “shows a tremendous opportunity to do something great” in our community.
