The calm before the storm. We don't build anything without a reason:

Intriguing!

Sorry...it's Bob Hughes (same developer of Riverplace) not Phil Hughes working on Washington Square. The person who sent me the info just said Hughes and I thought he was talking about Phil but he was actually talking about Bob instead.

The rumor mill is swirling again: next week for an announcement? Stay tuned.

This is not a rumor. Expect an announcement in approximately one week.

And not "Xperience Greenville" huge. That was somewhat disappointing.

Does anybody actually know how large of a project we're talking about here like in terms of highrise size or development costs?

I'm hearing a new "signature" tower in the 20-story range, two midrise buildings, national retailers including a bookseller, and possibly a hotel. Piazza Bergamo will be yet another focal point and gathering place for our urban core. It will definitely rival Falls Park and RiverPlace and will do a lot to spread out the attractions downtown.

From my understanding, funding is largely secured and tenant agreements are in place so we should not see construction delays on this.
