I would love more tall buildings in Greenville, but one on that spot would look goofy. It would take away from the core of downtown. I’m thinking 10 stories should be the limit.

Couldn't disagree more; we're getting midrised to death.

The tallest building or buildings are not going to be in the middle of downtown. There is already buildings in the middle. It's either going to be near the arena, or where county square is.
The developer is RocaPoint Partners. The architect is Foster & Partners. We should hear more sometime during the first quarter of 2018. Already announced is a 250,000 square foot county office building and 1,000 space parking garage.
To compare, Camperdown is $200 million and ONE was $100 million to build.
What’s most significant about what you said here is Foster & Partners; with them being the architect, that speaks volumes in regards to the quality of this project. This will be world-class. I think we are all in for a real treat.

Opportunities for taller buildings near the middle of downtown have passed. An opportunity for a taller building exists with the Greenville County Square redevelopment. I hope the opportunity does not pass.

I look forward to seeing what Foster and Partners envisions.
As do I. Rather it be a collection of high-rises or mid-rises, this development will be forward thinking and among the premier redevelopments in the Carolinas, let alone the South East. For a bit of perspective of how much $1.5 billion is, Atlantic Station in Atlanta cost to build was approx. $2 billion over about 138 acres. This project is close 38 acres, or about 100 acres smaller than Atlantic Station, yet boasting similar cost to develop. Wow. I cannot wait to see renderings for this, I am genuinely expecting a behemoth.

Yep. As I said. I believe there will be some height here.
