There has been some moving around of car dealerships this year, and if youโ€™ve been keeping up, you know that Birmingham is now home to the largest Ford dealership in Alabama.

Now, Jim Burke Downtown Auto Mall just sold for a whopping $18 million. Hereโ€™s what we know.

All main lots of the Auto Mallโ€”stretching across five blocks in downtown Birminghamโ€”have sold to Tennesee-based firm Hallmark Auto Group.

According to the Birmingham Business Journal (BBJ), James J. Burke Jr. sold 24 parcels of land to Hallmark ACQ LLC for $15 million in April, and Phoenix Building Company sold the remaining two parcels for $3.2 million last week, May 14.

The intentions Hallmark ACQ has with the former Jim Burke dealership are unclearโ€”stay tuned to Bham Now for more updates.

Thereโ€™s more happening in the Birmingham car dealership scene.

At the end of 2023, Stivers Ford completed its much-anticipated move from its home of 90+ years in downtown Birmingham to the Palisades Shopping Center.

Hallmark ACQโ€™s acquisition of Jim Burke will hopefully mean more business and jobs created in Birmingham and beyond.
