Prisma Health Eyes New Destination Development Near Greenville Memorial Hospital: During a presentation last week at the Westin Poinsett, representatives of Prisma Health, including Prisma Health-Upstate President Spence Taylor and COO David Sudduth, talked about the current state of the health care system, but one tidbit stood out: Prisma wants to get in on the mixed-use development business, with an eye on transforming nearly 70 acres of property near the Greenville Memorial campus into an "Innovation District", a place they hope will be a "destination" for area residents.
The properties are either owned by Hughes Development Corp. or the Hughes Family Trust.
Little detail about the proposed development was given, but the effort could be similar in nature to the WestEdge "Discovery District" in Charleston, an emerging mixed-used development centered around the health-care and life sciences industry.
Containing residential and retail units and office and research space, WestEdge is near both MUSC and Roper St. Francis. It's currently home to a Publix, Jimmy John's, Hokkaido Sushi Bar and Grill, BKeDShoP, and Barre South, and is leasing residential units.
WestEdge is within walking distance of The Joe and the restaurants, bars, shops, and attractions in the city's commercial and tourism center.
If it moves forward, the proposed Prisma Innovation District would other notable destination developments located outside of downtown Greenville's main commercial corridor, most notably the project at County Square, Holland Park on Laurens Road, and Poe West in West Greenville.
