The Lenox, being co-developed by Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. and Parallel Housing, Inc., will help address Augusta's need for more affordable housing for workforce families, seniors, those with disabilities, and others, while positively transforming a vacant property downtown Augusta. The neighborhood where The Lenox is being built has had a significant impact in Augusta's Black history. The property is named after the former Lenox Theater, a beloved 1921 historic venue that was damaged by fire and eventually torn down in the late 1970s.
