About GreenvillePress Releases Better Business Bureau Home Builders Association  Greenville, South Carolina, also home of Center Pointe Properties Inc., is one of the fastest growing cities on the east coast. According to the census bureau, there are actually 1-million people in the cosmopolitan Greenville area. As of 2007 the population rate is growing not only downtown and within the city limits but also within the county which was mostly rural in the past. Greenville is the North American headquarters for Michelin and BMW. BMW has also built a major manufacturing plant just east of Greenville in the fast-growing suburb of Greer, located in Spartanburg County. These companies and others such as General Electric have contributed to the area's sustained growth. Recently, Clemson University, BMW, Timken, IBM, Microsoft, Michelin, and the Society of Automotive Engineers International (SAE) have combined to create the International Center for Automotive Research (ICAR) along Interstate 85 in the City of Greenville. Also along Interstate 85, and surrounding ICAR, The Millennium Campus is a 500-plus-acre office park set to attract major corporations and headquarters. One large company currently building a new headquarters there is Hubbell Lighting, Inc., a global designer and manufacturer of residential and commercial lights. Across Interstate 85 from ICAR and The Millennium Campus, the new 1,100-acre mixed-use Development is beginning to show signs of progression on phase I. Lockheed Martin Aircraft & Logistics Center is a major aircraft maintenance facility located in Greenville at Donaldson Center Industrial Air Park, a former U.S. Air Force base, also the home of 3M, Honeywell, Stevens Aviation, and a host of other businesses and organizations. As Greenville has grown, it has become a “Financial Center” second only to Charlotte and Atlanta.
