A regional furniture group is reportedly finalizing a lease on 18,000 square feet at the Westgate Mall redevelopment site, according to sources close to the deal. The signing is expected by end of month, with a target opening of late Q3 2026.
The Westgate site has been the subject of renewed commercial interest following Spartanburg County Council approval of a TIF extension earlier this year. Multiple retail and mixed-use tenants have been in negotiations for the property.

I drive past Westgate every day — there has definitely been construction activity the last two weeks. New signage frames going up on the south entrance.
A friend in commercial real estate mentioned this last week at the Spartanburg Area Chamber lunch. Said it was a well-known regional brand, not a national chain. That narrows it down.
The TIF extension vote was in February if I remember right. That was the signal that Westgate was going to get serious interest again. 18,000 sq ft is a big commitment — this is not a pop-up.
Has anyone confirmed whether this is on the Sears side or the old Belk anchor space? Those are two very different locations for foot traffic.
I work in logistics and we got a request for quote on delivery scheduling to a Westgate address last month. Big furniture pieces. Timing lines up with what is being reported here.
This would be great for the Westside. That whole corridor needs more retail anchors. Between this and the new apartments going in on Asheville Highway, the area is turning around.
