History
On September 29, 2005, ground was broken for CenterCourt, the first venture within Lexington under a new mixed-use zoning ordinance. The project envisioned includes lofts, condominiums, town homes, and retail and dining establishments. Prices for the residences range from $130,000 to $300,000 and is geared towards "baby boomers, professionals, professors, and students."
Phase I of construction includes the four floor mixed-use structure fronting South Upper that features 76 residential condominiums and five retail vendors. A five level parking structure was constructed in the rear. Phase II of construction entails the construction of an additional 80 condominiums.
