Three new-to-market entertainment concepts will be joining the $1 billion Greenville County Square redevelopment.

RocaPoint Partners revealed that Pins Mechanical, Fairway Social and Agave Bandido have signed on to join the 40-acre mixed-use community underway in downtown Greenville, according to a RocaPoint Partners news release. The entertainment and restaurant venues join Whole Foods Market and The Perch Kitchen & Tap.

“Each of these tenants offers something unique and exciting that we think the whole Greenville community will love,” said Phil Mays, principal of RocaPoint Partners. “Whether it's to shop for groceries, grab a bite to eat or engage in some competitive fun with friends, Greenville County Square is shaping up to be a vibrant, energy-driven destination from morning to night. Momentum is building, and we’re excited to welcome these tenants and announce several new ones soon.”

Serving as the entertainment anchor, Pins Mechanical will be a 24,366-square-foot social destination featuring duckpin bowling, more than 40 pinball machines, yard games, craft beers, classic cocktails and more. Pins Mechanical is expanding its presence into South Carolina with the launch of this Greenville location, with additional locations in Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Tennessee and Pennsylvania, the release said.

Fairway Social will occupy 9,100 square feet at Greenville County Square with a full-service chef-driven restaurant and bar, golf simulators, putting course, arcade games, and more. Other locations of Fairway Social include Alpharetta and Fayetteville, Georgia, with Greenville being its first location in South Carolina, the release said.

Agave Bandido, a contemporary spin on Mexican cuisine, will open as a 7,000-square-foot Mexican kitchen with authentic creations and handmade cocktails. The location will focus on hosting events such as ladies’ nights. With a Florida location and one forthcoming in Atlanta, the Greenville location will also mark the restaurants’ entrance into the South Carolina market, the release said.

Once complete, Greenville County Square will be a mixed-use development for the community to shop, dine, work, live and explore. The development currently houses Greenville County’s newly opened 250,000-square-foot administrative building, designed by Foster + Partners. More than two years after groundbreaking, Greenville County opened the doors to its new $65 million county administration and government affairs buildings on July 17.  Adjacent to the new County Square site, located at 301 University Ridge in Greenville, the 250,000-square-foot project features two five-story North and South Towers interconnected by a common terrace level, landscaped courtyard, bridge and fiberglass exterior structural canopy.

In June, Lima One Capital announced its plans to expand its U.S. headquarters to the County Square project — a $51.4 million investment that will create approximately 300 new jobs in the Greenville market. The expansion is expected to be complete by 2025.

Chicago-based The Perch Kitchen & Tap will also be opening a location in Greenville County Square, partnering with Charleston-based Palmetto Brewing Co. for the brewery portion of the restaurant. The Perch Kitchen & Tap will be a part of the project’s first phase along with Whole Foods Market as the anchor tenant, which was announced in March.
