Meet Brookland Commons, a new community for older adults taking shape in Soda City. Soon, the site of the old Lexington School District Two building in West Columbia will be transformed for residents to move in around Fall 2027.

The concept by Still Hopes is designed to give residents greater control of their lifestyles. During the community’s development, residents will be empowered to help in the decision-making process. Think: Designing your ideal future neighborhood.

The site’s existing building will be renovated to be the “commons” area, and new apartments and cottages will be built on the property.

Brookland Commons will also leverage partnerships with Midlands organizations to bring innovative programming and benefits to residents, creating a multidimensional wellness setting. The goal is to help retirees live healthier and more purposeful lives by focusing on eight facets of well-being: physical, emotional, occupational, spiritual, environmental, financial, intellectual, and social.
