Beacon Station is the flagship project within Augusta’s Laney Walker/Bethlehem revitalization area at the gateway to the Medical District. The vision converted more than 7 acres of vacant infill land, including a contaminated former foundry site, into a Class A apartment community comprising 221 units and more than 7,000 sf of amenity space.
The community is targeted towards users of the adjacent Medical District, the region’s economic engine. Amenities include a coffee shop, a resort-style pool and outdoor kitchen, club and fitness rooms, a yoga studio, a dog park, a theater room, and various study rooms.
Public benefits include a complete overhaul of the streetscapes adjacent to the project, improved vehicular and pedestrian safety, significant local spending, contracting requirements, and an increased local tax base.
The project was a partnership between Columbia Ventures, LLC, and RADCO Ventures and included an innovative debt financing structure in partnership with the Urban Redevelopment Agency of Augusta. The project financing closed in May 2018 and was completed in December 2019.
Despite delivering during the pandemic, the rent roll was fully stabilized by August 2020 and sold in June 2021 for the highest price ever achieved in the market.
