LEXINGTON, Ky. — A Lego Store has a sign permit on file with the city. Country Boy Brewing is putting its name on a building at Turner Commons. And the biggest Fayette County property trade of the month — $32.85 million for an industrial property on Remington Way — closed 31 percent above the county’s assessment.

All of it is sitting in two public databases most people never open: the city’s Accela permitting portal and the Property Valuation Administrator’s monthly sales roll. The Lexington Times pulled both this week. Here is what they show.

The sign permits: who’s moving in

A sign permit is usually the first public record that names a tenant. Fifteen have moved through the city’s system since Aug. 13.

The one that will turn heads: a permit for a Lego Store at 118 Marion, Suite 130, issued as of Aug. 26 (BLD-SIGN-26-00216). The permit record identifies the occupant only as “Lego Store” and does not say when the store would open.

Country Boy Brewing filed for signage at 113 Turner Commons Way (BLD-SIGN-26-00213), placing the Georgetown-born brewery at Turner Commons, the PUD-3 redevelopment off North Forbes Road whose expansion plans The Times covered Monday. The application was awaiting payment as of Aug. 27.

Also in the sign queue: Parlour Pizza at 1997 Justice Drive (in process); Takumi Sushi at 1060 Chinoe Road (complete); CareVet at the Sheabel veterinary site on 2568 Richmond Road (pending); a Goodwill at 3101 Clays Mill Road; a Walmart sign at 3735 Palomar Centre Drive; Swing the Green at 2644 Richmond Road; The Stables at 4578 Georgetown Road; Miles Salon, RevitaLounge, Lex Tire, Brown Creative Center and Emcor.

One got turned down: a DQ Chill & Grill sign at 5350 Athens Boonesboro Road was disapproved; the record notes a 50-square-foot maximum.

August’s commercial sales

The PVA sales roll lists 346 August entries. The commercial and multifamily market trades:

$32.85 million — 2390 Remington Way. TCM Lexington Remington LLC, care of New York-based Tramview Capital Management, bought the light-industrial property Aug. 4. The county assesses it at $25 million. It is the largest recorded trade of the month.
$9.5 million — a South Limestone assemblage. Ever Lexington Limestone LLC closed Aug. 7 on a bundle recorded across 545-549 and 563 S. Limestone plus 118 Montmullin St. and 121-123 Prall St., with 553 S. Limestone recorded separately at $2.71 million — a block of frontage at the edge of the University of Kentucky campus.
$5.4 million — 424 Lewis Hargett Circle. Mora Properties LLC bought the professional-office property Aug. 13, essentially at its $5.38 million assessment.
$1.72 million — 204-208 Joey Way. DM2 Properties LLC bought the R-4 multifamily property Aug. 20 — more than double its $810,000 assessment.
Under $1.5 million: 112 Westhampton Drive, light industrial, $1.39 million; 112 Dennis Drive, office, $870,000; 125 Clay Ave., $825,000; 285-291 E. Sixth St., $500,000 against an $86,000 assessment; 1041 Cross Keys Road, multifamily, $394,000; 649 and 653 N. Limestone to the nonprofit Natalie’s Sisters, $300,000 combined; 600 Blue Sky Parkway, vacant industrial land, $250,000; 117 W. Maxwell St., $225,000; and 2121 Nicholasville Road Unit 107, $185,000.

Several more commercial parcels changed hands in related-party transfers with no market price recorded, including 109 Sand Lake Drive (assessed at $1.96 million), a Burt Road retail strip (assessed at $1.73 million combined), 2832-2836 Ryan Circle, 1128 Cooper Drive and 521 W. Main St.

Prices and validity labels come from the PVA’s own coding. Bundled sales are recorded with one aggregate price across every parcel in the deal.

New in the planning files

No new zone changes or major development plans were filed in the last two weeks — the next big docket is the Sept. 24 Planning Commission hearing on two staff-written zoning rewrites. But smaller filings kept moving:

29 homes off Tates Creek Road. GDK Farm LLC recorded a final plat for nine detached single-family lots and 20 townhome lots at 5447 Tates Creek Road (PLN-FRP-26-00027).
A density bump on North Limestone. The Arlington subdivision plan at 1106 N. Limestone was amended to go from 31 units to 39 with no added building square footage (PLN-MNDP-26-00019).
A 155-foot cell tower near Malabu Drive. Municipal Communications III LLC and New Cingular Wireless — AT&T — are seeking approval for a 150-foot monopole with a 5-foot lightning arrestor at 2680 Wilhite Drive (PLN-CELL-26-00006). Payment was received Aug. 19.
Fritz Farm lot lines. A boundary adjustment at 4100 Nicholasville Road leaves one parcel just under 5 acres and its neighbor at about 35.5 (PLN-MNSUB-26-00045).
Minor items: a detached-garage variance on Idlewild Court (PLN-BOA-26-00077), a parcel consolidation at 1129-1139 Anderson St., a detention-basin plat on Spurr Road and a building-line correction on Ohio Street.

What’s next

Per filing letters and prior reporting: the Planning Commission takes up the continued South Farm Walmart waiver Sept. 10; the Board of Adjustment meets Sept. 14; and the Sept. 24 Planning Commission hearing carries the downtown and industrial zoning rewrites plus the Regency/Pasadena items. Agendas are posted at lexingtonky.gov ahead of each meeting.
