Nine commercial real estate projects across the Upstate are currently in various stages of development. Here are status updates on where each project stands.
Greenville:
300 E. McBee Ave., Greenville
Hughes Commercial’s redevelopment of 300 E. McBee Ave. in downtown Greenville is underway. Harrison Hughes, executive vice president of Hughes Commercial, said extensive demolition is being completed inside the building and on the south exterior. Interior renovations are focused on modernizing office spaces, adding first-floor restaurant and retail with outdoor patio seating, and improving the building’s interior aesthetics. The project includes installing new glass windows, widening sidewalks, and adding new lighting, landscaping, and planters. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
The Avant
The Avant, a $15 million mixed-use development in Greenville’s West End, is set to begin construction later this year. The project features a six-story building containing residential units and commercial space. Parking will be available in the building’s basement. Utility work has already started, and the project is anticipated to be completed by the summer of 2026.
Greenville County:
Greenville County Square
Developers continue infrastructure work on the $1.1 billion Greenville County Square development. Fiber and power cables are being moved underground on the 37-acre property. The project follows the demolition of Bell Tower Mall, which housed the county’s government offices. Greenville County offices moved into the new administrative building in 2023.
