1700 Gordon Highway presents one of the largest available contiguous commercial land assemblages in the Augusta Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), with a highly flexible zoning designation allowing investors to be just as agile as this dynamic market.
Spanning 77 acres, the assemblage was formerly the site of Regency Mall, which is partially demolished, leaving behind an approximately 800,000-square-foot structure. The structure offers adaptive reuse potential and existing infrastructure, including utilities, an internal road network, a detention pond, and access points, priming the site for a comprehensive redevelopment.
The Augusta Planning Commission has approved PUD Entitlements for mixed-use development, eliminating a major hurdle for incoming investors. The approved mixed-use program affords immense flexibility for a broad range of strategies, including multifamily residential, retail, restaurant, office, performing arts, and institutional uses.
Situated at the crossing of Gordon Highway and Deans Bridge Road (GA 4), this is one of the most visible and connected sites in the city. GA 4 provides a direct route to Downtown Augusta and Interstate 520, which leads to Interstate 20 for seamless regional travel. This incredible connectivity enhances the long-term value of 1700 Gordon Highway as an accessible destination for affluent, growing communities like Evans, Augusta University Medical Center’s high-income employees, Fort Gordon service members, and, of course, Augusta National Golf Club, which contributes over $850 million in annual visitor spending.
Augusta is a historically consistent market, with 18% of the workforce government-related, largely driven by Fort Gordon’s 32,000 active-duty military and civilian personnel. The base also supports tens of thousands of additional jobs through indirect effects, especially illustrated by the recent growth in the cybersecurity sector. Additionally, the Augusta MSA has a robust industrial backbone with well-known employers like Amazon, Bridgestone, and John Deere already established here. However, advanced manufacturing is anchoring the area's industrial resurgence through investments like Aurubis’ new $800 million facility and a major polymer plant by Syensqo.
