There’s a lot of excitement building around the ground-floor spaces at the Railyard! With spaces ranging from around 750 to 1,500 square feet, there’s still time and flexibility for future tenants to help shape them as construction progresses.

Six months into construction at the Railyard in Lexington, Kentucky.

After years of planning, designing, financing, and problem-solving, it’s pretty incredible to finally see these buildings taking shape.

We've faced plenty of challenges along the way, but we’re making real progress. All three buildings are now out of the ground, framing is moving quickly, and we’re getting closer to completion every week.

32 apartments. New spaces for local businesses. Here’s where things stand as of August 2026.

Really appreciate the Kight Home Center and Carter Lumber team for helping keep things moving at The Railyard as framing comes together.

The Railyard is getting closer, and we’re now starting conversations with businesses interested in being part of the project.

Set to open in Spring 2027, we’re leasing commercial storefronts from around 750 to 1,500 square feet. Because construction is still underway, there’s plenty of flexibility to shape the layout around your business.

If you’re looking for a new home for your business in Lexington, send us a message to learn more.

I was asked this week how we ended up working with Mefford Contracting on the Railyard, and a lot of the credit goes to Earl.

He was involved early in the bidding process, helping work through pricing, scope, questions from the plans, and what it was actually going to take to build the project. That work made a real impression on us and played a big part in choosing the team.

Now, more than a year later, Earl is out here every day helping keep the Railyard moving.

Thanks, Earl. We appreciate everything you’ve put into this project.

Over the past week we've poured another foundation, concrete work is continuing, and the framing crews are making steady progress. The site is changing almost every day. Here's a quick update from August 5th.
