So where exactly is it being built?


Apr 7, 2016, 10:05 AM

A block from the stadium isn't what I would consider "downtown".

Apr 7, 2016, 10:12 AM [ in reply to So where exactly is it being built? ]

I think it's being built across 93 from the end of Williamson road. Replacing the bar that was most recently Larry's and before that Friar's Tavern, and before that a multitude of other places. I belive it'll be beside the Outdoor Adventures place, but that place may be torn down as well. I'm not sure.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

yep


Apr 7, 2016, 12:01 PM

but the Outdoor place is gone too, and it's using that space as well

And, depends on the construction material, too.

Well, the article says there will be a second-floor pizza parlor. I believe Mellow is closed, but this article backs up that there will be a space for Mellow in the new building (I assume that's contingent on whether Mellow wants the space or not). http://upstatebusinessjournal.com/news/tigertown-boom-continues/

Apr 7, 2016, 11:02 AM [ in reply to Re: this is why they're tearing down mellow mushroom.*** ]

When i saw this last year i was left without words. This is a great example of how the City / University is stripping out the character of Clemson. For years the Mellow Mushroom was a great gathering place, with a wonderful porch and views of passersby.

Then, someone approves this industrial looking monstrosity that will house 82 students!?? This is ridiculous and whomever designed and approved this is quite short-sighted and does not have the best interests of the town at heart.

"Clemson developer Mark Johnson plans to revamp the current Mellow Mushroom site, tearing down the existing restaurant and two duplexes to make room for a new mixed-use project that will have four stories with roughly 62 beds, an amenity terrace, fitness center and study room.

The ground floor will offer space for a new Mellow Mushroom restaurant along with additional commercial space."

I believe it's a Condo/Hotel. You purchase the place as a condo, but when you are not using it, you can allow the property managers to lease it out as a hotel. I'm assuming the profits would then be split somehow between the "Hotel" and the condo owner. I've heard the "Condos start out around $250k and go up from there.

Because of that, it would likely rarely be available as a hotel on football weekends. Only if the owner wasn't planning to use it.
