The Cottages is a great addition to Birmingham

“We’ve seen a great demand for housing down the 119 corridor in recent years, and The Cottages offers another option for our residents to live. They’re unique living spaces in that each unit has its own backyard, in addition to other great amenities. Investments of this caliber in our communities not only draw people to Birmingham but also help retain current residents within the city. We’re excited to have The Cottages in District 2.”

In addition to the housing options, there are also several neighborhood amenities, including:

  • 24-hour clubhouse
  • State-of-the-art fitness center
  • Resort-style pool
  • Pavilions and grill stations
  • Sidewalks and a dog park

Developed by Birmingham-based Capstone Communities, this is their first build-for-rent community in the Magic City.

“Birmingham holds a special place in our hearts as our hometown and the epicenter of a vibrant region and state characterized by innovation, progress and growth. We take pride in introducing our build-for-rent cottage apartment concept to our local community, offering Birmingham residents a premium rental housing option.”

Jim Beatty, vice president – development for Capstone Communities

The Cottages at Greystone is a collaborative effort of several Birmingham-based companies. It was built by CBI Construction Services, Capstone’s in-house construction arm, and designed by Nequette Architecture & Design.
