The Finem Group at Meybohm Commercial is pleased to announce the successful lease of the former Bees Knees space to Lenox on 10th, an innovative bar and lounge concept. This highly anticipated venture is set to bring further development to Downtown Augusta, bringing a fresh and exciting experience to the heart of Augusta. 

The owners of Lenox on 10th, who have already achieved great success with their two existing local restaurants, are poised to leverage their extensive experience and expertise to elevate the social scene in Augusta with their latest establishment. “I was personally a part of the opening training team for Cheddars and Wild Wing. With 20+ years of bar and hospitality experience, locally and throughout the country, we’re excited for the future of Lenox on 10th!” said the Aris Reed, one of the owners.

"We congratulate Lenox on 10th on their new lease and are delighted to have been part of seeing a new concept take up the Bees Knees’ baton," said John Eckley, VP and commercial broker with the Finem Group. "The progress downtown continues, and should only increase with the coming increased foot traffic resulting from coming developments like The Standard on Greene Street and the Lamar Building.  These developments along with the coming streetscape projects are going to make a compelling case for more to live downtown.  For many, it seems we’re hitting a crucial tipping point!”

The space on Tenth, which was formerly the home of Bee’s Knees, leased quickly with multiple offers at full price.  “There’s a lot of excitement around Downtown Augusta right now, and the multiple offers on the space I think proves that there is demand for high-quality space.  Many landlords Downtown have speculatively bought space downtown or are holding space waiting for prices to rise, and are unwilling to invest to improve space---leading to a perception that there’s a lot of vacant buildings and lack of demand–which is not true.” said Jonathan Aceves, commercial broker with the Finem Group.
