About Edgehill at Southtown
Edgehill at Southtown is an upcoming, highly-anticipated mixed-use development in the heart of Birmingham’s medical and research district on the Southside. The development is located on the footprint of Southtown Court, a 455-unit public housing community originally built in 1941 with funding from the United States Housing Authority. After nearly 80 years of use, the Housing Authority of the Birmingham District (HABD) board approved the demolition and redevelopment of the site in 2019.
After a lengthy demolition process of the aging Southtown Court, the Housing Authority of the Birmingham District (HABD) and Southside Development Company (SDC) officially broke ground on Edgehill at Southtown in April of this year.
Several entities are involved in the Edgehill at Southtown redevelopment, including:
- BREC Development, LLC
- Doug Hollyhand Realty, Inc
- SPM Property Management
- McKean & Associates Architects
- Schoel Engineering Company, Inc.
- Raymond James
- ServisFirst Bank
What’s next for Edgehill at Southtown?
According to a HABD news release at the time of the groundbreaking, the development of Edgehill at Southtown will take place in several phases. The first phase will include the construction of 60 urban, mid-rise apartments as well as a 4,000-square-foot clubhouse. The family residential building is slated to be complete by December of 2024.
