Credit union to expand its Wade Hampton Boulevard campus.
Greenville, SC – Greenville Federal Credit Union has announced a major expansion of its Wade Hampton campus. Soon, the lot beside the credit union’s Wade Hampton Boulevard branch location will be cleared to make way for a brand-new, state-of-the-art administrative building with offices, conference rooms, and collaborative meeting spaces.
The new 3-story, 12,000-square-foot building will house 30+ employees across multiple departments.
This $9.5 million expansion is the second building project the credit union will undertake in 2026, with its Berea branch scheduled to open in early 2027. Creative Builders, Inc. is developing both projects, while SHLTR is the design architect.
The need for this expansion stems from important milestones the credit union reached in 2025. The first is that the credit union now serves over 35,500 members across Greenville County. With this growth, the credit union has had to increase its staff to ensure its members receive the excellent service they deserve.
The second milestone is that the credit union surpassed $500 million in assets. Reaching this benchmark elevates Greenville Federal Credit Union from being designated as a “small-sized” credit union to “medium-sized” in the credit union industry. Put simply, this will give the credit union expanded capabilities, as well as new, sophisticated ways to serve its members.
“Everything we do is only possible because of our members and our dedicated staff,” credit union President and CEO, Paul Hughes, reflects, “without them, none of this would even be feasible. The credit union’s strong and steady growth over nearly 60 years has fueled this need for an expanded space. With over 105 employees all based in Greenville, we needed to find space that would prioritize the efficiency and collaboration of our growing workforce.”
Groundbreaking on the new building will begin later this summer, with completion expected in mid-2027.
