OpenText, [5] Pirimal Pharma Solutions, [6] Komatsu, [7] Tempur Sealy International, [8] and A&W Restaurants [9] [10] have headquarters or regional offices at Coldstream. Eastern State Hospital, an inpatient psychiatric treatment center and brain injury research center operated by UK HealthCare, opened in September 2013. [11] Coldstream Research Campus houses 21 buildings consisting of 1.3 million square feet of floor space.

The current site of the Coldstream Research Campus has historical significance. It was once the McGrathiana Stud, a famous horse farm founded by Price McGrath that had strong ties to Thoroughbred racing. [12] Aristides, a colt bred and raised at McGrathiana, won the 1875 inaugural running of the Kentucky Derby for Price McGrath. [13]
