The Beach Company has announced the official start of construction for Canvas, a mixed-use development located in downtown Greenville, S.C.  Plans for the community include single-family attached townhomes, ground-level retail, multifamily residences and an office building renovation in the Heritage Green Arts District complete with a large-scale commissioned mural on the building’s façade.

“Canvas residents will truly be in the epicenter of Greenville’s retail, dining, entertainment and cultural amenities,” said Tim Cotter, development manager at The Beach Company. “The combination of high-quality new construction in a walkable, vibrant community with an exciting new public art display will position Canvas as an iconic landmark for downtown Greenville.”

Comprised of both new construction and the renovation of a landmark downtown office building in the Heritage Green Arts District, Canvas will include 48 for-rent multifamily apartments, 31 expansive for-sale townhomes, 21,805 square feet of retail space and the renovation of a 130,000 square foot office building in a highly walkable location.

Construction on Canvas is expected to last 18 months, with first units available for occupancy in early 2020.
