If you’re one of the many Birmingham residents that spends time on I-65, you’ve probably driven past this development at some point or another. The Denham Building is located in the Parkside District of downtown Birmingham, just steps from Railroad Park and Regions Field. Third & Urban, an Atlanta developer, has been heading up this massive multi-use renovation. The 1927 building will soon be a hotspot including beautiful urban lofts, commercial space, and food + drink.

Commercial

Beautiful urban lofts, massive industrial windows, brand-new interior construction, prime location… It just doesn’t get much better than this. The Denham Building has 59 residential units up for grabs, and we have no doubt they’ll go quick.

There are 1 and 2-bedroom units offered, some boasting a skyline view and some with 2 stories + your very own spiral staircase. Birmingham architecture, manufacturing, and construction company Creature teamed up with Third & Urban and did a beautiful job on these units.

The residential space is being managed by Arlington Properties– the same company who manages many of the multi-use developments in Birmingham, including the Pizitz and Flats on 4th. According to their website, these units will range from $1375-$2575. Residential units are pre-leasing now!

As soon as I saw this next space, I knew it would become my new go-to dinner spot. The Denham Building will also offer a rooftop restaurant and bar! Third & Urban developer Hank Farmer said they are taking their time finding the right eatery to move into this prime spot. He claimed that they are planning on bringing in something casual and affordable, so that residents and visitors alike can enjoy accessible food and drink options.

Oh, and did I mention the views from the rooftop restaurant? You can enjoy the downtown skyline with the rolling foothills in the distance. It’s incredible!

If that’s not enough for you, there’s one more exciting addition coming to this development! Atlanta-based Monday Night Brewing is opening a 10,000 square foot brewpub just steps outside the Denham Building’s front doors. Read all about it!
