The sale of the former state mental hospital campus on Columbia’s Bull Street to Greenville developer Bob Hughes is expected within two weeks, an attorney for the S.C. Department of Mental Health said Friday.
The sale is one of the most anticipated and significant land deals in city history. A 2005 plan said more than 1,200 homes and nearly 1 million square feet of office and retail space could be built on the site, adding significantly to the city’s tax rolls.
