History
Conceived in 1964, the project had a cost of $8 million and was designed by architecture firm Stevens & Wilkinson. Once completed, it would become the tallest building in Greenville and South Carolina. Groundbreaking took place on June 29, 1964. It was named the Daniel Building after its main supporter, Charles E. Daniel. Daniel employed his own construction company, Daniel International Corporation, to build the structure. He never lived to see its completion and died only two and a half months later. It was completed in 1966 and opened on July 1, 1967. Daniel International Corporation had their headquarters in the building and Charles E. Daniel is buried across the street in Springwood Cemetery. It still remains the tallest building in Greenville at 305 feet. A six-story parking garage is connected to the ground floor. It was renamed the Landmark Building in 1999. In January 2024, it was announced that the building would be rebranding to once again use the original Daniel Building name.
