Greenville Approves Enclave Laurens Mixed-Use Development
The Greenville Planning Commission has officially approved Phase One of a significant mixed-use development known as Enclave Laurens. This project, located on Laurens Road in Greenville, aims to create a vibrant residential and retail community that aligns with the city’s planning goals for affordable housing.
Enclave Laurens will introduce 244 residential units to the area, with 10% of these units designated as workforce housing. The inclusion of workforce housing reflects the city’s broader housing strategy as outlined in the GVL2040 Plan, which seeks to ensure that at least 10% of new housing developments include options that are affordable for local workers.
The development will also feature 4,000 square feet of retail space, catering to the community’s needs and enhancing local economic opportunities. The Planning and Development Director noted that this project fulfills the city’s goal for affordable housing, marking a progressive step in addressing housing needs within Greenville.
Project Details and Features
Phase One of Enclave Laurens will be spearheaded by McCall Capital LLC, which has outlined plans to construct a four-story building located at 1439 Laurens Road. The project will provide dual access points: one from Airport Road and a limited entry from Pleasantburg Drive, facilitating easier access for residents and visitors.
The design of the development prioritizes outdoor spaces, including open areas and wide sidewalks designed for pedestrian access. Additionally, there will be a parking structure on-site to accommodate residents and their guests. Notably, the project plans to integrate direct access to the Green Line of the Swamp Rabbit Trail, a popular corridor for pedestrians and cyclists in the area.
Next Steps and Timeline
The next phase for the developers will involve entering the permitting process, which is a necessary step before construction can commence. If all goes according to plan, construction for the Enclave Laurens project could begin as early as late 2025, which will mark the start of a transformative project aimed at enhancing the quality of life within the Greenville community.
