To date, more than $100 million has been invested in this mixed‑use destination, which is home to the Lexington Sporting Club’s men’s and women’s professional soccer teams, as well as a youth sports complex and training facility. At the heart of the development is a 7,600‑seat stadium that hosts professional soccer matches, concerts, and a variety of entertainment events. Prime outlots are available at the signalized intersection of Competition Drive—one of the primary entrances connecting the North and South sections of the site—and offer exceptional visibility from the high‑traffic Athens Boonesboro Road corridor with immediate access to I‑75.

We are pleased to welcome Starbucks, Taco Bell, Jimmy John’s, Baskin Robbins, and Fairfield by Marriott Hotels, with Jimmy John’s and Baskin Robbins scheduled to open in summer 2026 and Fairfield by Marriott planned for a fall 2027 opening.

This southeastern corridor of Lexington has been designated by the city as the “Southern Gateway,” unlocking 1,653 acres of developable land. As Lexington expands into this area, significant growth in traffic, residential development, and commercial activity is anticipated, positioning the Athens development for long‑term success.
