Exciting Developments Coming to Lexington, S.C. by 2025
Lexington, South Carolina, is buzzing with excitement as plans for a brand-new hotel and an upscale steakhouse are set to take shape. By summer 2026, the town anticipates the opening of a four-story hotel situated right on Main Street. This hotel promises to bring over 100 rooms, a spacious event venue, a lovely restaurant, and maybe even a rooftop bar where you can unwind with stunning views.
Local business owners are already on board with this project, seeing it as a golden opportunity to boost their own businesses. Entrepreneurs like Anne Kershner from Nicky’s Pizzeria and Christie Connelly of Kindred Boutique are optimistic, believing that the hotel will attract more visitors. With more foot traffic in the area, nearby shops and eateries are likely to benefit greatly.
Investment and Approval Process
Leading the charge for this hotel project is developer Ajay Champaneri, the CEO of Lexington Hospitality. He has put a whopping $1.4 million into this venture and comes with a solid understanding of the Midlands hotel market. Champaneri’s proposal received the green light from town officials after a thorough review by various boards in January and March, with final approval granted just two months ago. Currently, developers are waiting for land disturbance permits from Lexington County, aiming to kick-start construction within the next 60 to 90 days.
Town Council member Todd Lyle emphasized the friendly atmosphere and commitment of Lexington in making sure that any concerns regarding impact fees are addressed quickly. This demonstrates how the town is ready to welcome new developments while keeping the local community in mind.
A Modern Steakhouse to Join the Scene
This new steakhouse will surely be a feast for the senses with its spacious main dining room, a private dining area for special occasions, and outdoor seating perfect for those warm South Carolina evenings. Guests can look forward to savoring hand-cut steaks, homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and seasonal specialties, all crafted with love and local ingredients. The renovation of the previous Alodia’s Italian Restaurant site will focus on retaining its historical charm while introducing fresh, modern aesthetics.
TakoSushi to Make a Splash in Lexington
To celebrate its grand opening, TakoSushi is rolling out an amazing deal for the first 25 guests each day from September 5 to September 8: they’ll score free queso for a year! Yes, you heard that right! So, mark your calendars and prepare your taste buds for a scrumptious ride.
