Main + Stone

Following Greenville’s Stone Avenue Master Plan, McMillan Pazdan Smith designed a new mixed-use development featuring 225 efficiency, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. The building also includes  21,000 SF of retail space that graces the corner of Stone Avenue and Main Street.

Simulated natural materials were incorporated into the design including brick, HardiePlank^©, and HardieShingle,^© — similar to those found on many of the surrounding single-family homes. The three-bedroom apartments facing Rowley Street mimic the appearance of surrounding, single-family residences, helping ease the transition from commercial to residential. On the Main Street side, the units have a more modern design aesthetic. A long four-story building runs the length of North Main, with large windows and entryways offering street-side access.

The 225 apartments share a community pool, parking deck, club house, and fitness facilities, and each have a private balcony or outdoor space. Upscale interior finishes such as granite countertops, black or stainless appliances, and wood-look flooring were incorporated.

It was important to take into consideration traffic, connectivity and density for the planned development, as well as accommodating the city’s master plan and neighborhood resident’s expectations. The retail component wraps around the Stone at Main intersection, where most of the project’s density is concentrated.
