Well, soon if you count 2022 as soon. Keep reading to find out all the details.

Imagine you’re driving towards Grandview from downtown. You pass The Summit up the hill on your left, and this 111-acre parcel of land is on your right. Easy access to everything while feeling like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Sweet.

Two Atlanta-based developers are behind the project

Novare Group and Batson-Cook Development Co. are behind the planned multifamily development. 

Novare Group has already been hard at work on Foundry Yards by Railroad Park. 

The award-winning AT+T Operations Center will stay for now, and AT+T plans to continue working there until mid-2022, when the remaining employees will move over to 1876 Data Drive. 

Now tell us, Birmingham, what do you think of the idea of this new development? Tag us on social @bhamnow and let us know.
