The Drake Breaks Ground in Downtown Columbia
Although construction has been going on at the site of the future Drake building, a new six-story luxury apartment and retail complex downtown, the official ground breaking ceremony happened on Thursday.
The Drake, a high-rise apartment complex managed by Franklin-based Bristol Development, is set to offer 293 rooms, a non-public parking garage, ground-level retail spaces, a courtyard, and various amenities. The project is expected to be completed by early 2026.
The Drake apartments will encompass six stories, with an additional lower level acting as a basement, featuring one, two, and three-bedroom units. Alongside private garage parking, The Drake will offer amenities such as a courtyard with a pool, dog park, pet spa, bike lounge, fitness center, a music/podcast studio, a co-working space resembling a coffee shop, and retail space along Woodland Street.
