The planned 400,000-square-foot project will take up an entire block and is being developed by South Carolina–based chemical manufacturer Pacolet Milliken. For months, the former site of the Milliken Building has been a pile of dirt, but recently Hines Interests has agreed to lend a hand, bringing with them architects Pei Cobb Freed to design the building, which seems likely to have an office component since CB Richard Ellis’ Paul Amrich is rumored to be the broker.

The developer declined to comment on the status of the project or provide the name of the construction company, but since the beginning of the year, no major construction permits have been issued for the building, according to the Department of Buildings’ Web site. Nonetheless, the project is “potentially positioned to be at the leading edge of the next development cycle,” according to a press release, which suggests now might be just the right time.
