In this episode of DevelopLex, we sit down with Stephen Dawahare, longtime Lexington entrepreneur and real estate developer, to talk about the bold vision behind Lexington SC and how it’s become one of the most impactful developments in Central Kentucky.

What started as a soccer project has grown into a $100M+ privately funded ecosystem on Lexington’s east side, complete with pro-level facilities, youth programming, and strategic commercial development. But this isn’t just about sports. It’s about long-term city planning, infrastructure, and access - especially for kids and communities historically left out of elite athletics.

Stephen walks us through how the project came to life, what it took to move literal mountains (and rock), and why Lexington SC is built to be both economically sustainable and deeply meaningful.
