City investment in medical district apartments paying off

Augusta’s investment in the $32 million Beacon Station complex is paying off, officials said Wednesday.

Members of the city Urban Redevelopment Agency, which developed and financed the deal, along with Augusta Housing and Community Development oohed and aahed during a Wednesday tour.

Workers were still putting final touches on Beacon’s pool, grounds, dog park and soon-to-open Inner Bean Cafe, but the pet-friendly complex has become 26 percent occupied and 29 percent leased in its first month open, said complex manager Amber Hobbs.
