LaFayette Center is a historic downtown block named after the French Revolutionary War hero, the Marquis de LaFayette, who visited Augusta in 1825. On January 21,1986, Augusta Tomorrow held the dedication of the renovated Lafayette Center. Bankers First anchored one end of the block at 10th and Broad Streets and the YMCA building (now Tax Slayer) anchored the other end of the block at McCartan and Broad Streets. In all, 5 historic buildings were totally remodeled including one of the oldest structures remaining on Broad Street. When Lafayette visited Augusta in 1825, the city united in an incredible spirit of celebration. The 1986 dedication recalled that memorable event and Augusta’s historic spirit of unity and civic pride. Lafayette Center was the largest restoration project in the State of Georgia up to that point. Can easily be turned into Class A space. This portfolio of properties is at the 10th and Broad end of Historic LaFayette Center. It consists of 985 Broad Street, 971-973 Broad Street, 943 Jones Street and 953 Jones Street. The property has paved parking within the Center and is situated among three easy-to-walk-to city parking decks. The well-planned and inviting courtyard has an active pond, complete with an archway waterfall and ducks. There are various seating areas for relaxing, lunch, and outdoor business and social events. LaFayette Center is walking distance to all of Downtown Augusta's most popular spots, including the Georgia Cyber Center, Cafe's, Government Offices, Theatre District, the Riverwalk, Morris Museum of Art, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Distillery, Entertainment Establishments, and more.
