Anchor tenant backs out of Greenville County Square redevelopment

GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) – The Greenville County Square redevelopment project in downtown Greenville has lost one of its anchor tenants.

Lima One Capital announced in 2023 that they planned to lease around 65,000 square feet of office space as part of a $51.4 million investment to locate their headquarters at the development.

The company was set to become one of the anchor tenants at RocaPoint Partners' 40-acre, $1 billion redevelopment project.

In a statement, Lima One said the company remains strongly committed to expanding their presence in Greenville.

"Unfortunately, the pace of development at County Square was slower than anticipated," the company said in a statement. "To ensure continuity of our business operations and provide an exciting new headquarters for our employees, we felt it necessary to terminate the lease at County Square and explore alternatives."

Lima One, a financial company which lends money to real estate investors, is currently headquartered at 201 East McBee Avenue.

The company said they have identified a new potential location for their headquarters and will "share more as discussions are finalized."

"We look forward to continuing to invest in Greenville and support its growth as a vibrant business community," Lima One's statement continued.

Since 2023, RocaPoint has announced numerous tenants for the site, including restaurants, national retailers , and entertainment venues .

Whole Foods is also set to build their second Greenville location at County Square.
