In a collaborative effort between the City of Columbia officials, the Bristol Development Group, and various community partners, a momentous occasion took place on Thursday as they gathered for the groundbreaking ceremony of The Drake, Columbia’s latest downtown housing and commercial development. Situated on a prime 2.78-acre plot at the intersection of Woodland Street and 7th Street, The Drake is set to redefine the city’s landscape.
The focal point of this project is a six-story residential building that will not only provide modern living spaces but also encompass 4,000 square feet of commercial area, catering to the diverse needs of the community. The integration of housing and commercial elements aims to create a vibrant and dynamic environment for residents and visitors alike.
With construction now underway, the completion of The Drake is projected for the year 2026. This ambitious timeline underscores the commitment of all involved parties to deliver a high-quality development that will contribute to the growth and prosperity of Columbia. The anticipation surrounding The Drake’s opening is palpable, as it promises to be a cornerstone of the city’s urban revitalization efforts.
