GREENVILLE – The City of Greenville Planning Commission is gearing up for its next meeting on August 1, where several key developments will be up for discussion. One of the major projects on the agenda is the “Baby” Bi-Lo redevelopment that has been generating buzz in the North Main neighborhood. Here’s a preview of what’s in store for the upcoming session.
The “Baby” BI-LO project is set to transform the former BI-LO location at 505 N. Main St. in Greenville’s North Main neighborhood. The ambitious mixed-use development is expected to bring around 300 residential units and commercial spaces to the area. What sets this project apart is its commitment to affordable housing, with a minimum of 10% of residential units earmarked for this purpose.
The initial plans for the site, presented during a project preview meeting on June 25, revealed a vision for two buildings – one four stories tall, and the other reaching five stories. To accommodate these proposed heights, the project will need a modification to the site’s zoning designation from MX-2 and MX-3 to MX-5.
Another highly-anticipated project on the agenda is the Mosaic Townes development, located in the West End Special Emphasis neighborhood. This mixed-use development spans 6.9 acres and is set to introduce over 200 residential units, along with commercial and grocery spaces, underground parking, and various residential amenities.
During the project preview board meeting on June 25, updated plans for Mosaic Townes were unveiled, highlighting the project’s commitment to affordable housing. A quarter of the residential units are planned to be accessible to individuals earning 40%, 60%, and 80% of the area’s median income.
Aside from zoning modifications, the Mosaic Townes development will also seek approval for street names within the project area. The intersection of Perry Avenue is proposed to be named Motley Way, while another street is set to be called Mosaic Drive, intersecting both Motley Way and North Calhoun Street.
Both the “Baby” Bi-Lo redevelopment and the Mosaic Townes development represent significant steps towards enhancing the urban landscape of Greenville, while also catering to the community’s need for affordable housing.
Stay tuned for the outcomes of these deliberations at the upcoming Planning Commission meeting as Greenville continues to evolve and grow.
