A pilates studio is the latest tenant to take shape inside the redeveloped Kimbrell's building at 20 Liberty Lane in Greenville, after a $194,763 commercial alteration permit was issued on October 27. The permit, filed under contractor Rockwell South LLC, covers a tenant upfit within the previously permitted shell building that has been steadily filling its roster since the property changed hands.
What the Permits Show
Permit 2600002562, classified as a commercial alteration, authorizes the buildout of a pilates studio inside the existing shell structure at 20 Liberty Lane. The property owner is listed as Gsp 1007 Greenville LLC, and Rockwell South LLC is the contractor handling the upfit work. The permit valuation comes in at $194,763, reflecting the interior construction needed to convert raw shell space into a functioning fitness studio.
The project description references the "Kimbrell's Redevelopment," a nod to the former furniture store that previously occupied the site. The roughly 3-acre property sold for $2.65 million in late 2021, and the shell building was permitted earlier in the redevelopment process. This pilates studio permit represents another step in the lease-up phase, as the building's owners continue to bring in commercial tenants to fill out the space.
Why It Matters
The ongoing buildout at 20 Liberty Lane reflects a familiar pattern in Greenville's commercial real estate market: older retail properties being repositioned for new, often boutique-oriented tenants. The addition of a pilates studio fits a broader trend of fitness and wellness businesses occupying redeveloped commercial spaces across the city. With the shell building now attracting tenants and generating upfit activity, the Kimbrell's Redevelopment site appears to be delivering on the investment Gsp 1007 Greenville LLC made when it acquired the property nearly five years ago. Each new permit at this address adds to the evidence that the site's transition from a single-use furniture store to a multi-tenant commercial property is progressing steadily.
