A new speculative industrial park is being developed adjacent to Columbia Metropolitan Airport by Magnus Development.

803 Industrial Park will total nearly one million square feet, with groundbreaking for the 204,120-square-foot Building One planned for early 2021, according to a news release.

Plans call for three other buildings, one also 204,120 square feet. The other two buildings are 408,240 square feet and 157,500 square feet, respectively.

50 luxury apartments to be constructed at the Brookland site in West Columbia, just on the other side of the Gervais St Bridge. Saw the news on the State, but don't have reading privileges to the story. Hopefully other media outlets will soon pick up the story. That area is really booming, from what I can tell.

Had lunch at Primal Gourmet Kitchen, on Meeting St in West Cola today. Neat reuse of its building. I had not driven that far across the Gervais St. Bridge in years, but the food was good, and I got to see Savage Craft (absolutely slam packed at 2 PM), Weco Biergarten, and all the activity around State St (Terra, New Brookland Tavern, Black Rooster, etc). I have to admit, it felt a little like a hipsterish, cool vibe, in an area of metro Cola no one would have envisioned such activity even 10 years ago. Kudos to "the other side of the river"! I suspect there's a lot more to come.

A lakefront resort community could be coming to Lexington after the Town Council took initial steps to acquire and develop what the mayor called “the most prestigious property on Lake Murray.”

The proposed 93.5-acre development, located off Beekeeper Court and North Lake Drive, would include two hotels, a marina, retail space, restaurants, a conference center, single-family homes, townhomes and condos, according to the announcement.

The planned project would be completed through a partnership between the town and private developers. Lexington would build the regional conference center on the property, build the road to the conference center and put in water and sewer lines, MacDougall said. Private developers would build everything else. 

Lexington officials expect it would take 15 years to complete the development and hopes to break ground on the project in two years.
