Main + Rose Mixed-Use Facility and Parking Garage

Main + Rose took what was once a large blighted parking lot at the eastern entry to downtown Lexington and transformed it into a vibrant mixed-used development, bringing urban living to a largely neglected market. The development is managed by Red Draw Facilities Management.

The Main + Rose project is a mixed-use development, which includes both commercial and residential components with a separate parking garage for each. The design includes 27,000 square feet of street-level retail space, a large concealed parking garage, a rooftop garden, and 96 residential loft condos on floors 2, 3, and 4. The design vision is realized through exterior elements including brick, exposed structural framing, floor-to-ceiling windows, large, usable outdoor rooms, and metal canopies along sidewalks. This development increased density of urban housing and added retail to help reduce pressures for urban sprawl eating away at the endangered rural bluegrass landscape.
