It’s been a property near the top of City Staff’s potential historic redevelopment list for a long time.
After City Council’s approval of a development agreement at their recent meeting, the property is on its way to a new life, bringing new residential options and ground floor retail space to downtown.
Located at 174 East Main Street, across from Denny’s Plaza, the former home of Bishop Furniture and the Aug W Smith Department Store is slated to become 46 upscale apartment units and ground level storefront space after an extensive interior and exterior renovation project undertaken by Blue Wall REII, LLLC, a Greenville-based developer set to purchase the building.
On this episode of the City of Spartanburg podcast, the hosts are taking a deeper dive on this historic renovation and how it fits into the larger downtown redevelopment story.
