Topside Pool Club has started a new business series aimed at letting some of the Upstate’s biggest names in business tell their story in a new kind of setting.

Poolside Chat will launch on April 4 at 5:30 at the downtown pool club with special guest Phil Hughes.

Hughes is the founder and President of Hughes Investments, Inc., a commercial real estate development company, which develops office buildings, retail shopping centers, industrial facilities, apartment buildings and urban mixed-use projects in the Carolinas. Some local projects include RiverPlace, Poinsett Plaza, Falls Park Place and RiverWalk.
