Woodlawn Memorial Park has secured one of the larger single commercial building permits in the Greenville market this week — a $692,089 above-ground burial mausoleum at 25 Pine Knoll Drive. The permit was issued on May 20, 2026, and the project has been awarded to McCleskey Construction Co.
According to permit records, the structure will consist of poured-in-place concrete reinforced with rebar and clad in granite. It will contain casket spaces only, with no doors, windows, or utilities. The permit description categorizes the project as "Commercial, New Other," and its status is listed as issued.
The mausoleum represents a significant capital expenditure for a single-purpose structure in the cemetery sector. At nearly $700,000, the project stands out among recent commercial permits in the City of Greenville for both its dollar value and its specialized function. Above-ground mausoleum construction typically involves substantial material costs, particularly when granite cladding is specified, as it is here.
McCleskey Construction Co., the contractor of record, takes on a build that is structurally straightforward but materially intensive. The absence of mechanical systems, fenestration, or utility connections simplifies the scope in some respects, but the combination of reinforced concrete and granite finishing points to a project built for permanence.
Woodlawn Memorial Park, the property owner, is a longstanding burial facility on Pine Knoll Drive on Greenville's east side. The addition of mausoleum capacity suggests the park is expanding its offerings beyond traditional in-ground interment, a trend seen in cemetery operations across growing metropolitan areas where available land may be increasingly constrained.
With a valuation just under $700,000 for a structure with no utilities or occupancy demands, this permit signals that even niche segments of the commercial building market in Greenville are attracting meaningful investment.
