Following the conclusion of the first phase of Greer’s CenterG project, Idea River Development LLC announced its incoming $32 million 226-unit mixed-use development, ParkView Greer, formerly known as Project Homecoming.

The development, including four stories of upscale apartments and retail space, will be built at the corners of Main, Jason and Cannon streets starting in the fourth quarter of 2020 under the purview of architect David Langley of Langley & Associates of Greer, according to a news release. A stand-alone brewery and restaurant are also set to occupy space in the roughly 5.3 acres developed for the project.

“Idea River Development LLC is proud to partner with the City of Greer, and participate in its continued transformation,” Keith Eades, owner and managing partner of company, said in the release.

The CenterG project, an overall $25 million investment in new streetscaping, renovation of the arts center, lighting improvements and the construction of a municipal parking deck, will cost the city $4.6 million in its second phase, which will include continued streetscaping from Poinsett Street and North Main Street to Arlington Ave.

The return on CenterG’s investment has surpassed $100 million based on the value of renovated properties, ongoing projects and an incoming 108-room Hampton Inn, according to the release.

"This project was designed to transform our central business district for the next century,” Ed Driggers, city administrator of Greer, said in the release. “We knew from our previous downtown projects that public and private investments would follow the vision of the Center G project. It helped leverage such work as redevelopment by Tribe 513, Parkside Pediatrics, and Grace Church. It was the motivating factor for Sycamore Greer to commit to building a downtown hotel with an adjacent public parking deck.”
