Today, BullStreet is home to the international Capgemini tech firm, Bone-In Barbecue, and the Columbia Fireflies. The site will soon welcome a 20,000 square-foot REI Co-op store and the Merrill Gardens active senior community.

Across South Carolina, large derelict sites are being reborn as bustling mixed-use projects, often with an eye on capturing the pocket-book attention of millennials. Across the state, the projects have focused primarily on old warehouses and mills, massive structures suitable for loft apartments, office space, and various retail and entertainment amenities (see Taylors Mill in Greenville, Drayton Mill in Spartanburg, and the Cigar Factory Charleston).

Greer's Barista Alley is opening its second outpost later Friday at Lake Walk Community, a tiny house subdivision offering under-400 square-feet homes for $80,000 or less, the coffee shop announced on Facebook. Community residents also have to pay a monthly lease of $450 to live at the Lake Cunningham site. The fee includes water, power, sewage, and trash. 

Barista Alley first opened in Greer Station in May 2017 and has been one of the more recent additions to the steadily redeveloping area.
