New shopping center coming to Greenville to include Super Target. We at urbanplanet have known about this coming for at least a year now though. More info:

I'll let you decide:
Jacob,
Regarding the Pinnacle-on-Main we are moving forward, ever so slowly. We have met with our engineers and City regarding grading permits. We have another meeting scheduled next week. The City has a new storm water policy, passed in September, regarding water quality which will require an additional water treatment facility which we want to incorporate with our storm water recycling and green roof system. We are spending the extra effort to have this building certified as LEED Silver. That is not easy or cheap but it would be the first high-rise in South Carolina to be LEED Certified, especially Silver, not to mention the energy efficiency and environmental quality. In fact, very few high rises achieve LEED certification. We want to start construction as soon as anyone, but we want to do it right. We have spent a lot of time and study to make this a signature building and we believe it will be worth the wait.
Thank you for your interest.
Bob Ellis

In case your wondering, the eight story building Tom Croft proposed on Rhett St. was originally going to be 10 stories, but i'm guessing he made it two stories shorter to win approval by the DPC. It is going to be located right near Riverplace only about a block away. Here is a story on it from back in September:

Also, the 7-story condo building proposed at 100 East Washington St. is the Bookends Phase II. Here is a story on this from earlier this month:

Here is another email I just received from Bob Ellis. The question was whether the Pinnacle on Main was still going to start this month or not. Here is the answer:
That is a day to day item. We will have a better feel next week after meetings with City engineering, traffic and economic development.
