2. It’s going to bring a whole new concept of living to Birmingham
Mercantile on Morris will really be a unique addition to the Magic City. The mixed-use space will play host to boutique retail shops and local restaurants—all directly accessible to residents from their unit. The idea of swooping in for a new outfit before brunch with my friends all in the same building where I live sounds like a dream. But here’s what really makes it stand out—the building will have a direct walkthrough from First Avenue to Morris Avenue.
“We are excited for the ground floor retail mix that will face both 1st Ave N and Morris Ave. The spaces range from 500 to 2,700 SF, to ensure a mix that is ideal for lifestyle retail brands, boutique fitness studios, coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. Being able to revitalize another part of Birmingham’s most iconic street is something our team is very proud of.”
Sarah Miller, Director of Execution
I’m just picturing having an Irene Richardson at the Atomic Lounge (a little self-promo there) and then walking up the street and strolling through the gorgeous brick walkway on my way to dinner at The Essential. No circling around the block or dodging speedy cars on the crosswalk involved.
