A few questions on-site with Earl.

Earl has been an important part of bringing the Railyard to life, and we’re grateful for the care and experience he brings to the site every day.

We caught up to talk about the project, the challenges of keeping three buildings moving, and his connection to the neighborhood. taken in Lexington, Kentucky by @railyardlex

Grateful to Mayor Linda Gorton and the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government for the partnership that has helped move the Railyard forward. We couldn’t have gotten to this point without so many people across the city working with us along the way.

Some places you walk in and immediately feel the potential.

The Railyard is one of those places.

We spent the morning on Delaware Avenue brewing coffee for the people building what looks to be the next Lexington staple. Retail spaces, apartments, and a bunch of good stories waiting to happen.

Our mission today: making exceptional coffee for people who deserve it. For the people who show up before the sun and spend their day turning blueprints, steel, lumber, concrete, and a hell of a lot of hard work into something awesome.

We were welcomed kindly by Will, Heather, and, naturally, THE Earl. We heard the stories behind the construction, the work that’s gone into getting this place where it is, and the kind of insider details you don’t get from a brochure.

There was even a manager walking by who tasted our coffee and he took the cup he was already drinking and sent it flying across the room.

We’ll take that as a compliment any day of the week.

What stuck with us was everything about it. It was the people. The handshakes. The early morning rain the buildings of course and how everyone we talked to lit up with passion as they talk about what the Railyard is going to be.

The Railyard is coming together on Delaware Avenue. And if the people working on it are any indication, it’s going to rock.

Six months into construction at The Railyard in Lexington, Kentucky.

After years of planning, designing, financing and problem-solving, it’s pretty incredible to finally see these buildings taking shape.

There have been plenty of challenges along the way, but we’re making progress. All three buildings are now out of the ground, framing is moving quickly, and we’re getting closer to completion every week.

Another day, another construction site my baby shouldn’t be at🤷🏻‍♀️

There is so much development happening in our city right now. Delaware avenue is really glowing up and it’s cool watching people you know and love working so hard to grow our city in a sustainable and impactful way. We need affordable housing, we need walkability, we need to get creative and make the most of the land we already have. @railyardlex is doing just that!

If you are looking to open up your first customer facing retail space or maybe you’re wanting to expand your current business and need another location in a different part of town-holla at me✌️ taken in Lexington, Kentucky by @railyardlex

These storefronts may still be under construction, but it’s a good time to start the conversation about being part of what we’re building here in Lexington.

Set to open in Spring 2027, we’re now leasing commercial spaces at the Railyard from 750 to 1,500 square feet, with plenty of flexibility to adapt the layout to fit your needs.

I was asked this week how we ended up working with Mefford Contracting, and a lot of the credit goes to Earl.

He was involved from the very beginning, helping price the job, understand the scope, and work through the details before construction ever started. His hard work during bidding was a big part of what gave us confidence in the team.

Since then, he’s been right in the middle of it every step of the way.

Thanks, Earl. You’re awesome. taken in Lexington, Kentucky by @railyardlex
