what makes greenville

then + now 1970s revitalization Greenville began major revitalization efforts to the main street corridor in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. This involved taking the four-lane road down to two lanes and introducing trees and wider sidewalks.

1990s cultural growth Greenville was able to begin solidifying itself as a cultural center in the Southeast by investing in institutions that support the arts and other cultural interests. The Peace Center for the performing arts is a thriving example.

1980s economic growth In the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greenville made an effort to bring the Hyatt Regency hotel to mainstreet. It was the first hotel of its kind in the city to offer varied amenities such as meeting and convention spaces.

2000s placemaking Falls Park is the quintessential representation of Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown identity. It is a city aware of its resources and poised to continued enriching its sense of place as a leading southern city.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape the fact that your brain is ruled by natural processes that beg your body for a change of scenery between tasks. You might call this a mental switch that needs to be triggered. The Stitch space is intentionally placed between the work and live floors to give residents an in between space where they can decompress or engage their mind differently before moving on to other various tasks.
