We were just discussing this. This city is trying to do something about the safety and homeless situation at the depot before they add those attractions there.
Well let's hope what ever the do for the homeless situation is a permanent fix and also doesn't just place the homeless in other areas of downtown like center City Park!
A property long considered one of downtown Greensboro’s prime sites for redevelopment appears poised for a mix of office, multifamily and restaurant space under an agreement signed between the property owners and a boutique development firm from Wilmington.
GCMC Properties, led by Greensboro’s Paige and Will DuBose, said Wednesday that they have entered into a development agreement with Trask Land Co. Inc. of Wilmington for a mixed-use project on the former Gate City Motors site.
Specifics for the project are still to be worked out, with the development team not offering any estimates of investment in their announcement. They said plans “are beginning to take shape but are in the very early stages,” but offered that they anticipate that site design will include office, multifamily and restaurant uses.
Emmy award winning production company is moving its headquarters from Los Angeles and Nashville to the former Triad Stage building in downtown Greensboro.
“The company has taken space in the former Triad Stage building in downtown Greensboro and is finalizing construction for its offices, state-of-the-art editing suites and a high-end screening room for clients and artists. The company has also opened its new 6,000-square-foot logistics hubs just minutes away from its downtown headquarters,” the release states"
7 Cinematics produces things like concert films, live-music broadcasts and livestreams sent around the world. They have worked with artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Post Malone
John Legend, Dead & Company and Kiss.
The company says the move will allow it to centralize operations and maintain its nearby warehouse/logistics hub filled with production equipment.
The building will serve as a music venue as well which will bring in major music artists like the names mentioned above.

WOW!!! That's a amazing score for Greensboro! Could be the start of a whole new job sector for Greensboro!!! I am surprised this is coming to Greensboro and not Wilmington since , Wilmington had past production companies there . Also surprised Winston didn't get this with the school of the arts being there. Wonder if they even considered those areas are if Greensboro was solely on their radar! Anyway this is great news for Greensboro and the downtown! This really could jump start a lot of projects downtown and kick up things in high gear!

Definitely wasn't just a random pick. The owner has roots in Greensboro which could explain a lot. But still to leave LA and Nashville for Greensboro. There is certainly potential for a cluster in this sector for Greensboro though. This is a pretty big league production company. The Tanger Center is already luring big artists downtown and now this new venue where they will not only perform but even record. Its like a hybrid of the music industry and Hollywood. But what makes this venue unique is that there will be big artists performing in a more intimate setting as oppose to a large venue like the coliseum or the Tanger Center.
So venture out downtown last night . Checked out the new "new Orleans" style bar. It was very beautiful and well done! Then took a stroll from there to Tanger center.. and .. well.. that walk for the first time felt actually creepy seems like there was even more dark un lit areas , people cruising in loud vehicles playing loud music with offensive lyrics and not a policeman in site.. ( where are the police downtown) that would make a major improvement in the feeling of safety. also Tanger city was pitch black and this was like 8:30/9:00 on Sat night.. All that money invested in that beautiful building, if I was their person in charge of booking events, I'd make sure something was going on every wknd night! Even if something small just to have lights on the building and helping downtown look Alive! This was the first time I actually felt kinda like I had to look over my shoulder more when making that walk and told myself that I prob wouldn't make that walk anymore . Come on Greensboro do better.. this is not the downtown image u want to project. It just felt sketchy.

From reading the FOX 8 article, I would assume the production company employees likely travel a lot to film concerts, so it was probably more important that the headquarters be in a low cost-of-living area--Los Angeles and Nashville are expensive cities--and there was probably less a need for the company to actually be in a city that is an entertainment center.
The February One parking deck is now open. I wonder how long it will be before any of the street level retail places get rented out. The news also mentioned the Westin hotel should begin construction in the "coming months."
