On Wednesday, CK Capital announced a redevelopment in downtown Watkinsville to create residential, commercial, and office space, called “15 South.” The 16-acre site, a former concrete pipe plant, will donate 2 acres to relocate a historic home.
The developer plans to include a locally owned and sourced grocery store and create 203 apartments, 24 townhomes, and 6 stand-alone cottages. The development will also connect sidewalks linked to Main Street, and proposes to create access to the rail-trail project between Oconee County and Athens-Clarke County.
