Verdae Launches Development of Legacy Square with Contracts for Three New Commercial Buildings
July 27, 2011
Legacy Square is a planned neighborhood-scaled commercial district within Hollingsworth Park at Verdae
GREENVILLE, SC – July 27, 2011 – Verdae Development, Inc. has begun site preparation for phase one of Legacy Square, the planned neighborhood-scaled commercial district within Hollingsworth Park, and has pre-sold three of the seven available pad sites for professional office and retail use. The initial corner, located at the intersection of Rocky Slope Road and Legacy Park Road, will showcase wide sidewalks, inviting storefronts that face the street and parking behind the buildings. Holliday Dental, N&H Enterprises and Verdae Development have purchased sites and will construct the first three buildings, each privately-owned. Approximately 30,000 sq. ft. of commercial space is expected for phase one. Future phases of Legacy Square will be developed on the remaining corners, nearly 10 acres.
As identified in the Verdae master plan, Legacy Square will enhance the community by placing a blend of merchants and service providers within close proximity to residents and area customers.
“The master plan for Verdae defines the vision for the entire 1100-acre development, but market demand dictates the roll-out for each project,” said Rick Sumerel, president and COO of Verdae Development. “The activity we’ve seen throughout Hollingsworth Park suggested that the time was right to begin the neighborhood retail center. Having commitments for three new buildings before an official announcement, says that we’re off to a good start.”
