Historic Augusta Transformation: 40 New Apartments and Retail Spaces Coming to Broad Street
The 600 block of Broad Street in Augusta will soon house 40 living units and 3,000 square feet of shops.
A bold makeover starts this September in downtown Augusta. The 600 block of Broad Street will soon house 40 living units and 3,000 square feet of shops.
The builders are hoping to attract med students and city workers who'd like to call downtown home.
Work kicks off once the city signs off in September. If all goes as planned, leasing for the apartments should open late summer or early fall in 2026.
People can pick from studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options. Those who lease an apartment will also get on-site parking, green spaces, and a resident lounge. Outside, you'll find spots to cook and hang out.
“We’re very excited to hear something positive and new coming down on this end of Broad Street. There’s for years been development on the upper end of Broad with new restaurants, loft apartments. So now to see some energy coming in on the 600 and 500 block is very exciting for us,” said Penelope Ballas-Stewart, according to WRDW.
The builders want to keep the old charm while adding new life to these walls. It fits right in with other projects, bringing new ideas to Augusta's old buildings.
