New development in this Lexington County area has 2 more businesses coming
Two more businesses are slated for a burgeoning mixed-use development in a growing area of Lexington County.
Tropical Smoothie and Venus Nails are planned for the Platt Springs Crossing development along Platt Springs Road near South Lake Drive in the Red Bank area, according to a listing of transactions from commercial real estate firm NAI Columbia.
The paperwork indicated that Tropical Smoothie has signed a lease for a 1,600-square-foot space and nail salon Venus has inked a lease for a 2,800-square-foot space. The retailers will be going into the shops adjacent to the Lowes Foods supermarket that is anchoring the commercial side of the development.
Opening dates for the smoothie shop and the nail salon have not been publicly announced. There are about 1,500 Tropical Smoothie locations across the U.S., per data website ScrapeHero.
Platt Springs Crossing is a 60-acre, $65 million mixed-use project that is quickly developing off Platt Springs Road near South Lake Drive. Businesses that already are operating at the site include the aforementioned Lowes Foods grocery store, a Panda Express Chinese restaurant, a Whataburger, a Chipotle, a Big Blue Marble Academy early childhood center and a Prisma Health urgent care facility. More businesses are expected to be announced for the development, and Lexington County public records have shown a LongHorn Steakhouse is being planned there. Also, there are 142 townhomes planned on the northeast end of the property.
The Red Bank area in south central Lexington County has boomed with growth in recent years with new subdivisions, schools, businesses and more. About 18,500 cars per day travel down Platt Springs Road near the Platt Springs Crossing development, per state Department of Transportation data, while more than 27,000 cars-per-day traverse South Lake Drive nearby.
