Recently, RD1 Spirits announced its plans to become a new highlight in Lexington and a key destination on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. This significant development marks Lexington as a pivotal gateway for bourbon enthusiasts. Our team at MWM played a role in securing tourism tax incentives for RD1, aiding in its journey to realization. RD1's home, The Commons Lex, is an exemplary infill development project set to transform Lexington. It repurposes land previously occupied by tobacco warehouses into a mixed-use space featuring offices, restaurants, and community areas. This approach revitalizes underused urban land and strengthens the city's fabric by integrating new, sustainable development within its historical context. The Commons and RD1 signal a forward-thinking step for Lexington, combining economic growth with mindful urban planning. This initiative enhances the city's appeal as a bourbon tourism destination and sets the tone for sustainable urban redevelopment! 🥃 #RD1 #thecommonslex #lexingtonky #mixedusedevelopment #taxincentives #bourbon #economicdevelopment #lexington #urbandesign #urbandevelopment #innovativedesign #citytransformation #bourbonwhiskey #communitybuilding #development

Taking a step closer to transforming spaces into eco-friendly landscapes, the City of Scottsdale reports that switching from grass to a desert landscape can save the average family 70,000 gallons of water annually. This summer, Tucson Water will support commercial properties—including businesses, schools, and apartment complexes—in making the transition by offering financial incentives for converting grass to desert plants and landscaping. https://ow.ly/G0oz50SiaQf

I went to London Zoo at the weekend 🐯 I love London Zoo but this time I couldn't help noticing the large number of former enclosures that have been mothballed, such as the original penguin house saying back to 1934... it's Grade I listed so was saved from disrepair by English Heritage but it just sits there unused while the new Penguins Beach does it's thing. I'm sure the original penguin house could have been extended or retro fitted so it could still serve a purpose. So why did London Zoo just build a new one? - cheaper? - quicker? - easier? Probably, but that's part of the issue, and it's bigger than the zoo - retro fitting is the expensive option; either from a time or capital perspective. So we knock things down and build new buildings... We should be making the most of stock we've got, repurposing, refitting and retaining where possible. It will most likely lead to better buildings both from an environmental AND an aesthetic perspective (trust me the original penguin house looks better than penguin beach). What's your favourite unloved building that needs a new lease of life? Let me know 👇 #retrofit #repurpose #development #realestate #commercialproperty
